Petra, which 2,000 years ago was on the thriving caravan trade route for frankincense and spices, is a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Since then, Petra’s fame has grown. UNESCO inscribed the city’s ruins as a World Heritage site in 1985, and the 1989 film Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade used Petra as a stage for some scenes.
