EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the ancient wonders of Petra, Jordan, a camel driver and his train take refuge from the desert sun. This beautiful postcard, captured in the 1910s, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to an era of historical significance. Petra, known as the 'Rose City' due to the pink-hued sandstone from which it was carved, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. The city, established around the 4th century BC as the capital city of the Nabataean Kingdom, was an important cultural, religious, and trading hub, with its strategic location at the crossroads of several ancient trade routes. The camel driver, dressed in traditional Bedouin attire, sits atop one of his animals, while the others huddle together for shelter. The camels, with their humps laden with goods and their long, curved necks, are a quintessential symbol of the desert landscape. The rugged terrain, dotted with towering cliffs and intricately carved facades, forms a breathtaking backdrop to this scene. The sun casts long shadows over the landscape, adding to the sense of tranquility and serenity. This postcard, with its rich history and timeless beauty, is a testament to the enduring allure of Petra, a place where the past and present converge to create a truly magical experience for visitors. Whether you are an history enthusiast, an adventure seeker, or simply someone in search of a unique and unforgettable travel experience, Petra is a must-visit destination. This postcard serves as a reminder of the wonders that await those who venture off the beaten path and explore the hidden gems of our world.
