Petra - One of the seven new wonders of the world ✨

📍Location: Al-Khazneh (Treasury), Petra, Jordan 🇯🇴 💞Reasons to Recommend: - Stunning ancient architecture - Unique historical significance - Breathtaking desert landsca 🕰️Business Hours: Typically open daily from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM (may vary by season) 💰Average Price per Person: Around $70 USD for a one-day ticket (discounts for multi-day passes) 👩🏫 Quick history lesson: Petra, known as the “Rose City,” was built by the Nabataeans around the 4th century BC in what is now Jordan. It became a wealthy trading hub thanks to its location on major caravan routes. The city is famous for its rock-cut architecture and water management system. It flourished for centuries but declined after Roman rule and earthquakes, eventually being forgotten until it was rediscovered by a Swiss explorer in 1812. Today, it’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. #historicallandmarks #jordan #petra #treasury #camels
