See Petra
The Half-Built, Half-Carved City
One of the new Seven Wonders of the World, the magnificent city of Petra can be found in Jordan. Best known for it’s carved rocks, tombs and temples, it was popularised by the 1989 Indiana Jones movie “The Last Crusade”.
Today, it is known as the Rose-Red City named because of the stunning rock which many of the city’s structures have been carved into. A lot of people who holiday to Israel tack a visit to Petra on to the end, but be assured, this is an adventure all by itself.

Faq?
Petra is huge and there is loads to see. If you want to do it all, then you’ll need about 5 days. You can do the highlights in approximately 2 or 3, but you’ll leave yourself short if you try and cram everything into an afternoon.
Everything is accessible by foot – just wear good shoes! There are donkey and camel rides available but you don’t really need them.
The precise date is unknown, but it is on record from the 1st century BC. The city’s trade grew and it became capital of the Nabataean Empire.
