Petra (Arabic: Ø§ÙØ¨ØªØ±Ø§, Al-BatrÄÊ¾; Ancient Greek: ÏÎ­ÏÏÎ±) is a historical and archaeological city in the southern Jordanian governorate of Ma'an that is famous for its rock-cut architecture and water conduit system.Another name for Petra is the Rose City due to the color of the stone out of which it is carved.Established possibly as early as 312 BC as the capital city of the Nabataeans, it is a symbol of Jordan, as well as Jordan's most-visited tourist attraction.n ancient times, Petra might have been approached from the south on a track leading across the plain of Petra, around Jabal Haroun (Aaron's Mountain), where the Tomb of Aaron, said to be the burial-place of Aaron, brother of Moses, is located.
