You probably heard that there is a new set as the 7 wonders of the world. One of them is the mysterious Petra located in the heart of Jordan in the Middle East. When you get to visit this place you’ll understand why it is worthy to be named as one of the 7 wonders. Petra was only discovered in 1812 after being “lost” for roughly 300 years. So all in all this ancient city has been in existence for over 400 years now. This is a one-of-a kind place because the whole city was contoured and painstakingly carved from a huge rock face – a city built on rocks! The people that constructed it were the desert tribe called the Nabateans that settled there and started trade up to Syria.
