The ancient city of Petra in Jordan, carved out of the desert along trade routes over 2,000 years ago by a local tribe, was once one of the world's wealthiest and most closely protected cities. Lively markets with exotic goods, mind-boggling structures created in sandstone by hand, and an impressive system for collecting and distributing water established its importance in antiquity.

Unearth secrets of Petra and learn fascinating details of other cultural heritage sites by testing your knowledge with this fun quiz.
