Petra – An Ancient Archeological City in Jordan

· Nature & Wildlife

In Jordan's desolate desert canyons, an ancient gem is located, the Ancient City of Petra. Petra is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. The city flourished over 2,000 years ago when it used to trade with Rome as an equal before earthquakes in the 4th and 6th centuries C.E., which ruined the city. This archeological city is an enormous combination of tombs, monuments, and other religious structures carved into sandstone cliffs. Petra also used to be the capital of the Nabataean kingdom, but in the first century A.D., it yielded to the rising power of Rome.

Luxor Temple in Egypt

· Tourist Attractions

Luxor Temple is a strikingly graceful monument in the heart of a modern town, Luxor on the east bank of the Nile River, Egypt. This magnificent temple complex is constructed by the New Kingdom pharaohs Amenhotep III (1390–1352 BC) and Ramses II (1279–1213 BC). The main function of this complex was during the annual Opet festivals, when the statues of Khonsu, Mut, and Amun, were moved from Karnak and Avenue of Sphinxes, then reunited here during the inundation.
