Over 2000 years later, Petra is one of the Middle East’s most significant sites of antiquity. Its builders are hailed for their business acumen, artistic ability and superior technical innovation.

Petra, originally known to its inhabitants as Raqmu,[3] is a historical and archaeological city in southern Jordan. Petra lies on the slope of Jabal Al-Madbah in a basin among the mountains which form the eastern flank of the Arabah valley that runs from the Dead Sea to the Gulf of Aqaba. Petra is believed to have been settled as early as 9,000 BC, and it was possibly established in the 4th century BC as the capital city of the Nabataean Kingdom. The Nabataeans were nomadic Arabs who invested in Petra's proximity to the trade routes by establishing it as a major regional trading hub.
