🎧 Listen to Introduction
Located between the Red Sea and the Dead Sea, this Nabataean caravan city has been inhabited since prehistoric times and was an important crossroads between Arabia, Egypt and Syro-Phoenicia.

It is one of the most famous archaeological sites in the world, where ancient Eastern traditions blend with Greek architecture.
