Description
Two camels ready to transport visitors in the ancient city of Petra.
Scholars debate the precise origins of Petra--the ancient Nabataean capital--estimates of earliest human settlement at Petra reach back to the 8th century BCE. Petra controlled a major caravan trade route, accounting for the multiple cultural influences reflected in the architectural styles. Petra is a designated UNESCO World Heritage site and a prime tourist destination in Jordan.
