It’s an enchanted and glorious place and an eternal tribute to a lost civilization. Petra was the center of the Spice Route of Nabateans. This originated from the Persian Gulf, Western Arabia, and the Red Sea.
Petra became the capital of the Nabatean Empire about two thousand years ago, and the city was so famous that one of its kings, Aretas IV, is actually cited in the Bible.
At Damascus, the governor under King Aretas was guarding the city of Damascus in order to seize me, but I was let down in a basket through a window in the wall and escaped his hands. (2 Corinthians 11:32-33 ESV)
