佩特拉的地理位置极其神秘,通常被认为是纳巴特王国的首都。它北通大马士革,南经亚喀巴湾可到印度洋和红海,西面是加沙,东面的沙漠背后是波斯湾。佩特拉到底是什么时候建造的尚无定论,根据其陵墓半埃及半希腊的样式估计,佩特拉始建于公元前6世纪之后,很可能是托勒密王朝时期。3世纪时,可能是由于红海海上贸易的兴盛,作为陆路交通要塞的佩特拉渐渐衰落,7世纪这里被阿拉伯军队征服时,已是一座废弃的空城。1985年,佩特拉古城作为约旦的第一份文化遗产,列入世界遗产目录。
Petra’s location is extremely mysterious and is often considered the capital of the Kingdom of Nabat. It is north of Damascus, south via the Gulf of Aqaba can be to the Indian Ocean and the Red Sea, west of Gaza, the east desert behind the Persian Gulf. According to the style of the half-Egyptian half-mausoleum of his mausoleum, it was estimated that Petra was built after the 6th century BC and most likely during the Ptolemaic period. In the third century, Petra, the fortress of land transport, was probably declining due to the rise of the maritime trade in the Red Sea. When it was conquered here by the Arab armies in the 7th century, it was an abandoned city. In 1985, Petra as the first Jordanian cultural heritage included in the World Heritage List.
