رحلة سياحية في الاردن عمان البحر الميت البتراء المياه الساخنة في معين
Film by Turath Mazloum

Petra lies about 3-5 hours south of modern Amman, about 2 hours north of Aqaba, on the edges of the mountainous desert of the Wadi Araba. The city is surrounded by towering hills of rust-coloured sandstone which gave the city some natural protection against invaders.

The site is semi-arid, the friable sandstone which allowed the Nabataeans to carve their temples and tombs into the rock crumbling easily to sand. The colour of the rock ranges from pale yellow or white through rich reds to the darker brown of more resistant rocks. The contorted strata of different-coloured rock form whorls and waves of colour in the rock face, which the Nabataeans exploited in their architecture.

  • I subscribed to your channel. Very interesting tour. I was always fascinated with this part of the world since a child. I voted for Petra, one of the 100 million votes for the New 7 Wonders organization (New 7 Wonders of the World). Now, we can vote for the New 7 Wonders of Nature. That should be exciting as well to see that journey; I wish that I could be a part of it. Well, good health & many blessings~

  • Waw
