“ his hand shall be against every man, and every man’s hand against him. And he shall dwell over against all his brethren” (Genesis 16:12).
Many nations have fought against these rugged people, but none has been able to subdue them completely.
Herodotus, the Greek historian, notes that the Persians were never able to conquer the Arabians (III.88). Strabo, the geographer, said that when Alexander the Great overturned the Persian empire, of the surrounding peoples who sued for peace, only the Arabs resisted. Alexander’s preparation to engage them in battle was terminated by his premature death.
When the Romans swept from the west to the east, they were never able to reduce the Arab peoples to a province. Pompey, the Roman general who vanquished so much of the Mediterranean world, failed to subjugate the fierce Arabs.
Later, the emperor Trajan attempted to conquer these peoples, and though he was not without isolated victories, his objective ultimately failed. Meanwhile, these Bedouins continued their ravages in various Roman provinces.
Proud to be an Arabian

Petra is amazing. What a strange place... these high moutains and rocks of orange/brown colors, these narrow trails & huge edifices built and digged inside the rocks thousand of years ago. This is absolutely breathtaking, wondering how it is possible that it has remained intact after that.
Definitely recommand it and has to be seen once in a life. This is a worldwide treasure.
I think the second picture is Jerash though? but you find also few Roman ruins in the site of Petra!
