Petra is a famous archaeological site in Jordan's southwestern desert.
Dating to around 300 B.C., it was the capital of the Nabatean Kingdom. Accessed
via a narrow canyon called Al Siq, it contains tombs and temples carved into
pink sandstone cliffs, earning its nickname, the "Rose City." Perhaps
its most famous structure is Al Khazneh, a temple with an ornate, Greek-style
facade.
