The other side

When you take your sight away from the ancient tombs of Petra, turn your back and look at what's behind you, this is it. The other side of the Sandstone City. It spreads over 264 sq km, was constructed by the ancient Nabataeans, a civilisation of crafters and prosperous merchants, and made for a grand trade route stop-off between Arabian oases. Then nearly lost to the outside world, Petra is now one of the most loved places on the planet, Unesco Heritage site and one of New Seven Wonders of the World.
