Petra

by Groverdean - last update: Jul 1, 2005

The Treasury-Petra-Jordan
Petra is undoubtably my favourite archaelogical site that I have visited. It was constructed around 2000 years ago by Nabataean Arabs and was a thriving centre for many years. Pictured is the Treasury, which was built as royal tomb.
Down the main Valley-Petra-Jordan
As you walk further into the 2000 year old city, you are surrounded everywhere by hundreds of Petra's carved and built structures.
.
Old Roman Ruins-Petra-Jordan
Petra is an incredible maze of sights that is often hard to see all in one day. It is possible,however, be warned there is alot of walking here to do!
