Petra is a mesmerizing ancient city and one of the Seven Wonders of the World. It is famous for its spectacular and massive rock hewn caves carved into red sandstone. These caves have been accredited to be the work of the Nabataeans, whom made Petra their capital city over 2,200 years ago.

The Nabataeans were ancient nomadic Arabs, who initially settled in Petra due to its proximity to the incense trade routes. Petra became a major regional trading center for the Nabataean kingdom which territory expanded to current day Jordan, Syria, Israel and Saudi Arabia. But the strange thing is, only one other Nabataean city shares similar rock cut architectural style with Petra, and that is Hegra in Saudi Arabia. The rest surviving Nabataean cities look nothing like the signature Petra style. Hegra, shares resemblance with Petra but still contains significant differences. Thus questions arise as to whether the Nabataens really created Petra or instead simply discovered it and repurposed it as their own. Let’s explore this together.
