Petra
“Red Rose City” or the “Lost City” is a world wonder and no doubt it is one of the attractions visited by tourists in Jordan. It is a unique city carved into the utter rock face by the Nabataeans (Arab nomadic tribes who settled there 2000 years ago).
In 1985 the Archaeological Park in Petra was declared as a UNESCO heritage site.
Carved into vivacious red, pink, white & sandstone cliff faces, the primitive Jordanian city of Petra was “lost” to the Western world for hundreds of years. That’s how it gained both the name “Red Rose” & Lost City”. Nothing can describe the beauty & unique combination of this city!

The weather in the desert is extreme in both seasons with wild summer heat and extremely cold winters.
