Petra

The Pink State, the most famous landmark in the Middle East, is a true masterpiece of sculpture, carved thousands of years ago by the ancient Navajo on the purple rocks of southern Jordan. Petra, which seems not to have been created by human hands, but to have miraculously sprouted from the rock, looks peaceful, enchanting, unique, a city as old as time. Drawing on elements from ancient Greek and Roman architecture, Petra is an unsurpassed masterpiece of history and culture and a shocking testimony of human art and inspiration.

In the mythical capital of the ancient Navajo people, carved temples, family tombs, public buildings, houses, theaters and thousands of stairs fascinate with their uniqueness, architectural beauty and durability. Monuments that stand unscathed in space and time, with their impressive facades and their aesthetic perfection evoke respect and awe and reveal a spectacle that leaves no visitor untouched. A narrow Siq gorge and spectacular, 

vertical rocks with dazzling colors and formations, give access to the architectural marvel of Petra. The most beautiful monument (treasury), which the local folk imagination attributes to Pharaoh, is an emblematic burial monument. Through the street of the facades appears the ancient Roman theater, a symbol of spiritual awakening and culture of the locals and the central valley of Petra is revealed, with its extremely impressive natural beauty and its architectural perfection. Top burial monuments (tomb of the hydria, the Lions and the Obelisks) lead to the Nymphaeum and the three markets, the Royal Palace, the High School and the mosque to reach the glorious temple of El-Deir (Monastery) carved from the top, offers the most revealing view to the valley of Petra and Mount Hor. The mountainous terrain of the Jordanian desert finally hosts, in its heart, one of the most unusual spectacles in the world, which UNESCO has included in its list of World Heritage Sites.
