Fascinating Places: the Ancient City of Petra
by Bren Parks, Nov 11, 2008
What makes Petra so interesting is that the entire city is carved out of solid rock, making it one of the most unique of archeological finds. Over 500 tombs, temples, and houses were cut into the pinkish sandstone cliffs where it is located in the desert of southern Jordan.

A Photographic Tour Through the Beautiful Ancient City of Petra, Jordan – Part One
by Gary Wallace, Oct 13, 2008
The facade of the Treasury monument at Petra in Jordan will be familiar to anyone who has seen the film “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade”. It forms part of a huge city complex that may be less well-known. We start our journey by looking at some of the structures created by the Nabateans.
