　　Petra may be the treasure of an ancient world，hidden behind a tall mountain.Its beautiful scenery makes it one of the greatest ancient sites still standing today.Common sense says “perhaps there’s nothing on the planet that looks like it”．Without a doubt，there’s nothing on the world that resembles it.The rock­carved rose­red town of Petra is filled with a mysterious charm that had been “designed to strike wonder into all who entered it”．

　　Petra is the legacy from the Nabataeans，a hard­working group of Arab people who settled in southern Jordan more than 2,000 years ago.Admired then because of their culture，architecture and complex dams and water channels，Petra has become a UNESCO (United Nations Educational，Scientific and Cultural Organization) world heritage (遗产) site and listed in the New Seven Wonders of the World.

　　Petra is the most well­known site in Jordan located about 262 km south of Amman and 133 km north of Aqaba.The Dead Sea is 80 kilometers north of it.The steeply rising sides of a long，cool，dark and narrow gorge (峡谷) basically keep the sunlight out.Suddenly the gorge opens right into a natural square covered with Petra’s most well­known monuments，which glows in the bright sun.The ancient city shows the visitors its beautiful look.The town is large and the quality of the architecture is surprising.It leads someone to think about the creativity from the Nabataeans who made Petra their capital.
