In southern Jordan lies the spectacular city of Petra. Built over 2,000 years ago, it contains innumerable architectural treasures: colossal buildings carved into cliffs and hundreds of tombs, temples, and baths. Petra was a rich and prosperous city, and yet, it resides in the heart of an inhospitable region. How did the Nabataeans manage to transform this desert area into a luxurious city?
In the heart of the Jordanian desert, the ancient city of Petra is full of mysteries. How was this architectural prowess achieved more than 2,000 years ago? A modern system of collection basins and cisterns made it possible to use any rainfall and thus transform Petra into a green oasis. What was life like in the desert city that once had 40,000 inhabitants?
In the bone-dry desert, Nabataean engineers developed a system to take advantage of any precipitation. An extensive system of collection basins and cisterns once made Petra a green oasis.
