Petra, den rosenrøde by i Jordans klippeørken, har siden den blev forladt i begyndelsen af 700- tallet, og til den blev genopdaget i 1812, stået som en af den arabiske verdens gådefulde underværker. Genopdagelsen gjorde den ikke mindre spændende, og i dag tiltrækker ruinerne efter nabatæernes civilisation, som blomstrede omkring Kristi fødsel, dagligt tusinde af besøgende. Petra er UNESCO verdensarv og ud over ruinerne af byen og de spektakulære klippegrave, omfatter levnene et område på mange kvadratkilometer. De maleriske sandstensklipper fungerer som en enestående kulisse for grave og ruiner. Ingen bog kan erstatte et besøg i Petra, denne kulturarvsguide giver forklaringen på monumenterne og sætter dem ind i deres historiske sammenhæng. Man møder nabatæerne, et arabisk folk, som skabte sin egen civilisation.

Jerusalem, a city of enormous verifiable and strict importance, assumes a focal and quarrelsome part in the Israeli-Palestinian struggle. This contention, established in many years of political, regional, and social questions, has Jerusalem at its focal point, with the two Israelis and Palestinians guaranteeing it as their capital. For Jews, Jerusalem is the holiest city, home toward the Western Wall and the site of the antiquated Jewish Sanctuary. Israel's foundation in 1948 and ensuing catch of East Jerusalem in 1967 built up their verifiable association with the city. They have since pronounced Jerusalem as their brought together capital, a move that remains exceptionally dubious and challenged. Then again, Palestinians view East Jerusalem, including the Old City, as the capital of their future state. This view is upheld by different worldwide goals, including UN Security Chamber Goal 242, which requires the withdrawal of Israeli powers from regions involved during the Six-Day Battle in 1967, including East Jerusalem. The situation with Jerusalem is a profoundly touchy issue, powering progressing pressures and viciousness in the locale. Harmony dealings between the different sides have more than once staggered over the subject of Jerusalem's last status, prompting what is happening. The city's division and its importance to different strict gatherings further muddle matters. The Old City, an UNESCO World Legacy site, contains probably the most venerated strict locales on the planet, including the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Congregation of the Heavenly Mausoleum, notwithstanding the Western Wall. Keeping up with access and command over these destinations is of central significance for the two sides, and any adjustment of the city's the state of affairs can light clash.
