Jordan ek aisa desh hai jo apni itihaasik jagahon aur prachin sanskriti ke liye mashhoor hai. Yeh ek Middle Eastern desh hai jo duniya bhar ke yatriyon ko apni khoobsurti aur vishesh rochak sthano ke karan akarshit karta hai. Is desh ka ek mahatvapurn sheher hai Petra, jo ki ek prachin nagar hai aur ise “Rose City” ke naam se bhi jaana jata hai. Petra ka sabse prasiddh sthaan Al-Khazneh hai, jo ki ek ati shandar aur rahasyamay surakshit smarak hai.

Al-Khazneh ek prachin bhavan hai jo sand stone chattanon ko tarash kar banaya gaya hai. Iska arth hota hai “Khazana” yaani dhan ka bhandar. Is bhavan ko dekhne ke liye har saal hazaron paryatak Jordan aate hain. Yeh jagah pehle Nabataean samrajya ka ek hissa thi, jo ki lagbhag 2,000 saal purana hai. Kaha jata hai ki yeh ek raja ka makbara tha, lekin iske asal prayojan par ab bhi vichar-vimarsh hota hai.

Petra ka safar ek alag hi anubhav deta hai. Jab log narrow siq (gorge) se guzar kar andar pravesh karte hain, tab ekdum achanak unke saamne Al-Khazneh ka bhavya drishya prakat hota hai. Iska aakar aur naksha Roman aur Greek kala se prabhavit dikhai deta hai. Iske sundar stambh, shilp, aur nakashi dekhne layak hain. Sandstone ki gulabi aur laal rang ki chattanon ke karan yeh jagah aur bhi adbhut lagti hai.

Jordan ki sarkar ne is jagah ko sanrakshit rakhne ke liye kai kadam uthaye hain. UNESCO ne bhi Petra ko ek World Heritage Site ke roop mein shamil kiya hai, jo iski mahatvapurnata ko aur bhi bada deta hai. 2007 mein isse “New Seven Wonders of the World” ki soochi mein bhi shamil kiya gaya tha.

Petra aur Al-Khazneh sirf itihaasik jagah hi nahi, balki ek jeevant sanskriti ka prateek hain. Yahan aaj bhi Bedouin log apni prachin sanskriti ke saath baste hain aur yahaan aane wale yatriyon ko apni kahaniyon aur jeevan shailee se prabhavit karte hain. Jordan ka yeh sheher itihaas, raaz aur prakritik sundarta ka ek anokha sangam hai, jo har yatra premi ke liye ek sapne jaisa anubhav hai.
