Petra is a site of historical importance in the south of Jordanian governorate Ma’an.  It’s a city with a rich culture of architectural finesse.

This place has got a significant history - acquaint yourself with it

Even the deadly earthquakes were not enough to destroy the legacy of the site. The majestic building of treasury at this city gives us an evidence of the royal living of the people used to reside there. This city was an important city which flourished trade and commerce. Petra’s legacy was harmed when devastating earthquake affected the city in AD 663. Water supply system was completely destroyed resulting people to move away from this centre. Gradually the significance of this city got diminished and it completely faded away from the scene after the invasion of Saladin at 1189.

The city again came to centre when Johann Ludwig Burckhardt, the Swiss scholar who visited the place, which was then currently inhabited by the Arab Bedouins. Since then extensive research works were carried out there from time to time and the place gained its lost prominence. World famous directors later also featured this place in their movies like Steven Spielberg and others.
