2Petra (Jordan)
Petra, an ancient city carved into the red sandstone cliffs of southern Jordan, is one of the world’s most fascinating archaeological sites.
The city’s most famous building, the Treasury (Al-Khazneh), with its intricate façade carved directly into the rock face, is a stunning example of Nabatean architecture.
Petra’s beauty lies not only in the craftsmanship of its buildings but also in the dramatic natural surroundings of towering cliffs and narrow canyons. The city’s blend of natural and human-made beauty has earned it a place as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.
