Worth your time for sure.Petra town is 1 of the new worlds wonders.
Once you come out of the narrow trail and got that "treasury" view infront of you - it will take your breath away really.

**G.A.F** · 03-12-2008, 08:08 AM

Great pics. Besides the Pyramids, I'd love to go to Petra some day. If it's breathtaking watching a picture, it must have been awesome to be there. I'd need 2 or 3 memory cards I guess

Congrats for your trip

My GF made over 500 pics there.I took just about 50.
I spent the most of my time there with bitching around that I left my pro cam at home.

I've been to Petra-amazing. Israel I love. I spent time in Sinai-hope you did as well, that was one of the best experiences

**dennisthemenace** · 03-12-2008, 12:56 PM

Incredible..

Did you have the oportunity to talk with that woman in the last one? Seems that would be an education worth the price of admission all by itself. Something you wouldn't soon forget.

I paid a local guide to get information and find out the most interesting places as its really large area.
Anyway the story was bit different.
Long story short :
Petra was built by "Nabateans " about 80 BC(if I remmember well).Nabateans were thieves who attacked the caravans but after some time they find out that its more profitable to offer the protection.So as they knew the location and desert pretty well they got lot of biz and got rich in no time.
They decided to built up the central city to keep their money and its Petra.They hired stoneworkes from Egypt and Rome who made all those rooms , terraces , crypts and also theatre.
With few exeptions all the "rooms" were used as storage + some for religion ceremonies - not for living.
The most known (the 1 from Indiana Jones) is the first what you can see when you enter the city.Its called "treasury".
City become the centre of the region but after 300 -350 years got abandoned.The reason of city got abandoned was the preasure from Romans in that area.
Petra has been forgoten for 1500 years and all that time kept in the secret from any1 exept local nomads.
Some UK dude got to the city in 19 century and discover the Petra for new age.

here is the nabateans descent of today
