Once the capital of the Nabateans, an Arab tribe that ruled the region before Roman times, Petra is famous for its stunning rock-cut temples, tombs, and intricate structures carved directly into vibrant sandstone cliffs. Victorian traveler Dean Burgon famously described Petra as "a rose-red city half as old as time," a phrase that still captures its timeless beauty.
