Petra’s amphitheater

Despite it looking like a Roman invention, the Amphitheater found amongst the archeological gems of Petra, in fact pre-dates the Roman conquest of the are. As the only one in the world that has been carved into the stone of the mountainside the site is truly unique. The best way to fully understand and view this epic piece of ancient engineering is to make the short climb up the hill opposite which will allow you to gain a bird’s eye perspective across the vast site. #aprilblooms #amphitheater #petra
