The ancient Nabataean city of Petra was recently votedas the seventh wonder of the ancient world. New7Wonders, the nonprofit organization that conducted the poll said that over 100 million votes were placed. All of us here at nabataea.net were delighted with the recognition this ancient site will now have. While most people votes because of personal preference rather than choosing places that had major significant impact in ancient history, we believe that in time Petra will become known as more than just a 'pretty place' with impressive ruins. Hopefully peple will soon realise the breadth and depth of the wonders of this special place. If you are interested in specific details, you can find them throughout nabataea.net. The menu at the left of this page will help you navigate the more than thirty web pages that we have specifically designated for this fantastic site. If you start at the top of the menu, you can move through the city, starting from the parking lot outside of Petra Park. There are some places where you can take side paths, but don't get side-tracked from the main menu... and then of course there are hundreds of other pages on this site about the ancient Nabataean people who built Petra, as well as the amazing merchant empire that impacted much of the world from China to Rome.
