Petra (2024 ٱلْبَتْرَاء) is an ancient Nabataean City in Jordan. The name derives from Greek Πέτρα (stone in Greek). Ancient Petra was part of the Seleucid Greek Kingdom until the Roman Empire took control of the area in Jordan. The Nabataeans became vassals of the Romans. Trade and the economy progressed. The city became rich on the trade route from the East to the West of the Roman Empire. Petra would eventually be enriched with many Nabataean Greek-Roman buildings. Some highlights of the ancient city are the Royal (Urn) Tombs, the Greek-Roman (en-Nejr) Theatre, the world famous Treasury building (Al-Khazneh), the great Temple (Qasr al-Bint) and the Monastery at Ad Deir.
