Overview
Petra, known as the capital of the Nabataean Arabs, stands as one of the most famous archaeological sites in the world. Located 240 km south of Amman and 120 km north of Aqaba, it attracts visitors globally.
- 🏛️ Petra began to prosper in the 1st century BC as the capital of the Nabataean Empire, thriving on trade in frankincense, myrrh, and spices.
- 🌍 The city was later annexed to the Roman Empire and continued to thrive until a large earthquake in 363 AD.
- ⚠️ The earthquake, along with changes in trade routes, led to Petra's downfall and eventual abandonment.
- 📜 Its exact construction date is not known, but it is considered Jordan's most valuable treasure and greatest tourist attraction.
