Petra, Jordan - Wikipedia Entries on Waymarking.com

There's a wikipedia entry for the 'Petra', the old city in Jordan.

Wikipedia explains:
Petra is a historical and archaeological city in the Jordanian governorate of Ma'an that is famous for its rock cut architecture and water conduits system. Established sometime around the 6th century BC as the capital city of the Nabataeans, it is a symbol of Jordan as well as its most visited tourist attraction.

Petra has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1985.

The site remained unknown to the Western world until 1812, when it was introduced by Swiss explorer Johann Ludwig Burckhardt.

Petra was chosen by the BBC as one of 'the 40 places you have to see before you die'.
