Known as Jordan’s
“City in the Rock”, Petra prospered as the capital of
the Nabataean empire from 400 B.C. to A.D. 106. Made world-famous
because of the Indiana Jones “The Last Crusade” movie,
the Treasury is so-named because the top of the structure looks like
an urn. According to legend, the urn contains treasure. [Photo credit:
