In about 1800 a Swiss explorer named Burkhardt discovered an enchanted city surrounded by bandits. It was called Petra. To get there, the intrepid adventurer had to disguise himself as a Muslim and learn Arabic. The city came into view like a carefully hidden treasure among the stone cliffs. The most common colour in Petra is pink, thus its name, The Pink City.
The inhabitants of ancient Petra were the Nabataeans. The Nabataeans resolved the scarcity of water by diverting the water of distant rivers to Petra through a series of canals, turning it into an oasis. As an oasis city Petra attracted people of numerous cultures, each of which left its mark. Thus its architecture is Assyrian, Egyptian, Hellenic and Roman. But as so often happens, when commercial routes were diverted to the city of Palmira, the dream of the Pink City came to an end. Petra began to decline from that time on.
