Petra with Overnight in Aqaba Itinerary

Petra dates back over two thousand years and was built by the Nabateans.   Their wealth came from controlling the water supply for the whole area.  They built huge water cisterns, and sold the water in times of drought.  Petra was a stopping point for trade routes going from North to South, and East to West.  The most famous site in Petra is the Treasury, a huge façade carved into the sandstone.  Some of the other sites to see in Petra are the amphitheater, the water cisterns, the tombs, the crypts, the caves, and the temples.
