The Jordanian star attraction is the ancient Nabataean city of Petra. A member of the new seven wonders of the world, this city flourish in first three centuries AD. Highlights include the treasury, carved over 100 years, the main city way, with amphitheater, the urn Tomb and the monastery. The tour included one and a half days of exploring Petra, a thoroughly enjoyable experience and a highlight for the Jordan leg.

You forgot to mention that according to "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade", the treasury is also where the holy grail is kept. :)

Holy Grail
If only the chalice hadn't crossed the seal then I'm sure there would have been a grail tour inside the treasury and a chance to get a photo with the 700 year old knight!
