Petra
Voted in 2007 as one of the Seven New Wonders of the World, Petra takes the definition of Ancient City to a new level. With tombs and temples from a bygone age carved into canyon walls, this vast archaeological site is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and Jordan's most popular tourist destination.
Thrilling for lovers of Ancient History, Petra was unknown to the Western world until 1812, allowing it to stand a test of time rare in other cities. Get your camera ready, as this "Rose City" is a feast for both the eyes and the soul.
