The ancient city in Jordan famous for its rock-cut architecture and often referred to as the "Rose City" is Petra. Petra is renowned for its magnificent monuments carved directly into the rose-colored sandstone cliffs. It was the capital of the Nabataean Kingdom and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site as well as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Petra's most iconic structure is Al-Khazneh (The Treasury), a grand temple carved into the rock, along with many other tombs, temples, and buildings that display remarkable Nabataean craftsmanship and ingenious water management systems. The city's distinct reddish-pink rocks give it the name "Rose City" due to their hues.
