It is adjacent to the mountain of Jabal Al-Madbah, in a basin surrounded by mountains forming the eastern flank of the Arabah valley running from the Dead Sea to the Gulf of Aqaba. The area around Petra has been inhabited from as early as 7000 BC, and the Nabataeans might have settled in what would become the capital city of their kingdom as early as the 4th century BC.

The trading business gained the Nabataeans considerable revenue and Petra became the focus of their wea ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
