The ancient city of Petra in ⁢Jordan,​ also known as the Rose City, is a marvel ‌of human accomplishment that dates back over 2,000 years. ‌Carved into the rose-colored sandstone cliffs, ⁤this⁤ city ‍was once an important ‍trade hub and ‍is now a popular ‍tourist⁤ destination, famous for its intricate architectural designs and unique rock-cut buildings.
