HOLY LAND TOUR • Lost 'n Found

How could you lose a city?

Built possibly as early as 312 BCE this was the capital city of the ancient people called the Nabataens. In 363 an earthquake destroyed many buildings and because it crippled the vital water management system and because of the invasion of Arabs who conquered the region in 663, the inhabitants abandoned the city. The ruins of Petra have been an object of curiosity throughout the Middle Ages. The first European to describe them was Swiss traveller Johann Ludwig Burckhardt in 1812.

Today is a very full day where we see visit the lost city, the Treasury, the Roman theatre, the Corinthian Tomb and Palace Tomb to the Roman road.  

Unfortunately, I cannot describe what I see today because I still don't have internet access.My husband Barry is posting this for me again today.
