Petra is a historical and archaeological city in the Jordanian
governorate of Ma'an that is famous for its rock-cut architecture and
water conduit system. Established possibly as early as 312 BC as the
capital city of the Nabataeans, it is a symbol of Jordan as well
as its most visited tourist attraction. It lies on the slope of Mount
Hor in a basin among the mountains which form the eastern flank of
Arabah (Wadi Araba), the large valley running from the Dead Sea to the
Gulf of Aqaba. Petra has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1985.
