Did You Know? (Ancient Civilizations)

The ancient city of Petra was a major center of the Nabataean Kingdom.

The ancient city of Petra, located in present-day Jordan, served as a major center of the Nabataean Kingdom, thriving particularly due to its strategic position along important overland trade routes connecting Arabia with the Mediterranean world. The Nabataeans developed impressive water management systems that allowed the otherwise arid desert city to flourish. Petra eventually declined in importance as trade routes shifted, and the city was largely abandoned and forgotten by much of the outside world for centuries.
