Much more in the article, highly recommend you take a few minutes and read it in entire.

Two thousand years ago, it was the capital of a powerful trading empire. Now archaeologists are piecing together a more complete picture of Jordan's compelling rock city

I had read many, many years ago, that at END TIMES there will be 250,000 JEWS in PETRA....but I can find NOTHING and NO ONE who has ever heard that!! It was one reason why I wanted to see it....I had NO idea what it looked like.

[A]archaeologists are discovering that ancient Petra was a sprawling city of lush gardens and pleasant fountains, enormous temples and luxurious Roman-style villas. An ingenious water supply system allowed Petrans not just to drink and bathe, but to grow wheat, cultivate fruit, make wine and stroll in the shade of tall trees... And scholars now know that Petra thrived for nearly 1,000 years...

I think Petra is where the Jews will hide out from the Anti-Christ during the Tribulations. They could survive there very comfortably.
