Petra (ancient Greek Πέτρα [ˈpɛtʁa] “rock, rock mass”, Arabic البتراء al-Batrā ’, Nabataean probably Reqmu“ the red ”), a ruin site in present-day Jordan, was the capital of the Nabataean empire in antiquity. Because of its monumental grave temples, the facades of which were carved directly from the rock, it is considered a unique cultural monument. On December 6, 1985, Petra was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List.
