The Nabataeans, which was an Arab tribe, had
established a kingdom in the Rum Valley in
Jordan. In this place, also called the Valley of
Petra, it is possible to see the best examples of
the stone-carving work of these people. Also in
the Qur’an, Thamud are mentioned with their
mastery of masonry. However, today, what is
left of both of these communities are some
remains that give us an idea of the art of that
time. In the pictures, various examples of the
stone-carving work in Petra Valley are seen.
