PMR664-12 Jordan: Petra is a historical city dating back to about 500-600 BC, founded by the Nabataeans, whose capital it was. Lying in the Wadi Musa, many of its temples and tombs were carved out of the sandstone rock in gorges and in cliff faces, and some have been well preserved from erosion. The architecture shows evidence of Egyptian, and later, Graeco-Roman influence, but the Nabataeans had their own, distinctive style. The city in the desert thrived due to a well thought-out system of water control. Petra was designated a World Heritage Site on 6th December 1985. This picture: the Obelisk Tomb, built by the Nabataeans in the first century BC on top of an earlier building, the Bab as-Siq Triclinium (a dining room for feasts), which has badly weathered Doric columns.
