🇯🇴 The "Lost" City of Petra, Jordan. Carved into red desert sandstone cliffs in southern Jordan, #Petra is one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Shaped by wind and time, its rock-cut façades stand as a reminder that even great civilisations fade.

For centuries, Petra was lost to the outside world until Swiss explorer Johann Ludwig Burckhardt “rediscovered” it in 1812.

Fans of Indiana Jones will immediately recognise the second photo!🤠

The Monastery in Petra is a grand sandstone structure carved into towering cliffs. It stands in a sandy clearing with a small tree, creating a striking image.
