Petra- an ancient city carved out of the rocks.

Petra  (from  πέτρα  "petra-πέτρα,"  cleft in the rock  in  Greek ; Arabic: البتراء ,  Al-Butrā ) is an  archaeological  site in the Arabah, Ma'an Governorate,  Jordan . It lies on the slope of Mount Hor in a basin among the mountains which form the eastern flank of Arabah (Wadi Araba), the large valley that stretches from the  Dead Sea  to the  Gulf of Aqaba .

The ancient city sits in the  Negev Desert 's Valley of Moses, enclosed by  sandstone  cliffs veined with shades of red and purple varying to pale yellow, prompting its description as a "rose-red city half as old as Time" by the 19th-century biblical scholar John William Burgon
