Most travellers visit Jordan with its history in mind and understandably so. Voted one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, the Lost City of Petra, the two-thousand year old rose red city of the Nabateans, stretches up out of the rocks, the jewel in Jordan’s cultural crown and the primary lure for many a traveller since its appearance in the film Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
Any1 who believe this was carved with simple tools (most archeologists) must be a real nut! We live in a age of nuts! Writings in jerusalem, speak of a cutting tool from the gods, that could cut through stone like it was butter!, thats the real truth of how these monuments could be built!
thanks for sharing such a beautiful video with us... I only found out today from a photography book about Petra... im so in love. Its now on my hope to see one day list :) its unreal you can still get so close to something so ancient as this city... again, thanks for this video
I am so pleased to share my name with this beautiful and awesome place. I always knew my name meant "rock" in greek, but I had no idea, there was such a place like Petra in Jordan. I'd give anything to visit it someday.
This looks like a wonderful place, full of evocative scenery - i've lived in an East African desert (scrubland) Lake Magadi, which has scenery just like that and I am sure Petra will have the same fierce heat ....Magadi got to about 50 degrees c on the solid salt white lake not much cooler on the shores about maybe 2 or 3 degrees cooler! All year round ...Jordan gets cold in the winter i think
Jordan will be the only place that will be amune to the Anti-Christ and its armies. Petra was build by Giants in those days and will host the last remaing Jews in the end times which God will pretect and keep them same inside Petra! Beautiful amazing hidden place!
I know many people in Cairo Egypt who never been to Pyramids. So don't worry but if u really feel knowing about ur's and world histroy is imp u shouldbe.
Omg!! Why not! I have seen it in movies and didn't even know it was a real place untill about a year ago and have been fascinated with it ever since! I would love to go! You should take advantage of being so close to something so amazing!! I will probably never get to see it!
tokioangel95, thank you. i've been traveling to europe quite a lot, but definitely want to explore other parts of the world, and Jordan is right up there. Thanks again.
OMG! this place is fantastic...its wonderful...if you want a life changing trip to an Arab Country then go to Petra. You can get there by a boat from Taba Heights in Egypt. The bus drive through Jordan is absolutely wonderful!
I went there in 1994 and I hope to return someday. I hope that the relations with our brothers and sisters in this region have not been tarnished completely. Its time to start the healing and end all wars. Peace to all.
@MJweinat, I am happy too. I wanted it to win beacuse is the oldest remaining one of the old Wonders and more impressive than the Pyramids. Granted the mystery of the Pyramids is what makes then famous, but Petra was actually full of life and commerce when it was used not just a city for the dead.
PLEASE VOTE FOR PETRA. This is an urgent plea to everyone out there; we're running out of time, PETRA along with 20 other spectacular sites from around the world, are on there final run to the NEW 7 WONDERS OF THE WORLD, I am urging everyone to vote for PETRA, it's worthy of the title. Just Google N7W
A special call to my fellow-Arabs; spread the word, Lazem Injam el YOUTUBE with requests to vote for PETRA, Ma thal waget. 7ayu Elsha3b El 3arabi. Thank you, your brother, a Jordanian:)

I visited Petra when I was in Jordan last October..
It's a really magnificent place, I was really stunned by the looks of "the treasury" and the monastery on top of the place.
I voted for Petra as well to become one of the world wonders, and i'm glad Petra won.
A well deserved victory.
