A world trip is not complete without
the 'Indiana Jones Experience' in the stunning lost city of Petra.
Carved into the deep canyon walls in eastern Jordan are impressive
structures made with great skill and details that have been preserved
well over time. The city served as the capital of the Nabataean
Kingdom in 600 BCE before it became part of the Roman Empire where it
continued to flourish. In 1189 AD the city was abandoned and
forgotten until it was rediscovered in 1812.
Today it attracts 1000's of tourists
each day that come to marvel at this ancient wonder. Although the
major sights are packed with people the city is extensive and it is
quite easy to find your way off the beaten path and lost in a lost
city. It makes for an unforgettable experience and is enough to
invoke a sense of adventure into any who get a glimpse of it.
