3. There are many touristic places which surprise tourists in Jordan by it ferly and beauty. One of these most beautiful places is Petra that curved in rock. I am interested in this place so I design a power point to enable others specially, those who haven’t visited Petra yet, to see how wonderful it is. I hope you enjoy watching. *http://blogs.

6. Petra was an important cultural crossroads between Arabia,Egypt and Syria-Phoenicia. The Nabateans built the city in 500 BC. over the centuries it traded with Arabs,Assyrians, Egyptians, Greeks and Romans. The Romans come to Petra in 106 AD, and in 363 AD an earthquake destroyed many buildings.In the 19 century tourists started visiting it. In 1985 it became a UNESCO protected monument. *http://www.grandview.com.jo/petra_map.jpg

7. The Petra is won in the contest seventh wonders of the World after the formal support for voting.

9. When the Romans defeated the Nabataeans in 106 AD, they rebuilt the outer wall of the theatre, added Roman columns to the stage, displayed marble statues in niches, and expanded the seating to the current number of 8,000. During excavations, complete statues of Hercules and Aphrodite were discovered in 1961 under the stage.

10. This is the entrance to the city It is a kilometers –long path which passes through a dramatic narrow gorge.At the end of the walk we saw our first incredible sight of Petra. *http://photography.nationalgeographic.com/p staticfiles/NGS/Shared/StaticFiles/Photogra hy/Images/POD/p/petra-tombs-525239-sw.jpg

11. This is the best – known building in Petra. Its decorated front is carved out of a high sandstone cliff. Inside, it is not decorated – there is a large square room and smaller empty rooms. Did they keep treasure here ?Then we saw the huge Nabatean theatre – a great place to perform. * http://aphs.worldnomads.com/stowaway/18/petra2a.jpg

12. The Nabataeans cut this Amphitheater out of the rock around the time of Christ. It originally had 11 rows with 300 seats. The Romans added 29 rows after they took Petra in 106 CE, increasing its capacity to between 3000-4000 people. * http://blogs.reuters.com/wp- content/uploads/2007/09/petra-300.jpg

13. The Petra Church seems to have first been built over Nabataean and Roman remains around 450 AD. It may have been a major 5th- and 6th- century cathedral, which is intriguing given the other evidence of Petra's decline after a 363 AD earthquake. *http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi a/commons/e/e6/Petra_Church.jpg

14. When first constructed around 450, the church had only one apse and an entrance porch. The Mosaic of the Seasons in the southern aisle is from this period. *http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/com mons/e/e6/Petra_Church.jpg

17. These fantastic decorated tombs are carved into the rock face. There was a 30-minute climb but the views were brilliant – you really feel the atmosphere of the place.
