On
the edge of the Arabian Desert, Petra was the glittering capital of the
Nabataean empire of King Aretas IV (9 B.C. to 40 A.D.). Masters of water
technology, the Nabataeans provided their city with great tunnel
constructions and water chambers. A theater, modelled on Greek-Roman
prototypes, had space for an audience of 4,000. Today, the Palace Tombs of
Petra, with the 42-meter-high Hellenistic temple facade on the El-Deir
Monastery, are impressive examples of Middle Eastern culture.
