Petra

**Petra** is a historical and archaeological city in southern Jordan.

It is in a basin among the mountains that run from the Dead Sea to the Gulf of Aqaba.

## History

Petra is believed to have been settled as early as 9,000 BC. It became the capital city of the Nabataean Kingdom. The Nabataeans were nomadic Arabs who used Petra because it was near the spice trade routes.

The Nabataean Kingdom became a client state of the Roman Empire in the first century BC. In 106 AD  they lost their independence. Petra's importance declined as sea trade routes developed. Also, an earthquake in 363 AD destroyed many structures.

The Byzantine Era led to the construction of several Christian churches, but the city continued to decline. By the early Islamic era only a handful of nomads lived in Petra. It stayed unknown to the world until it was rediscovered in 1812 by Johann Ludwig Burckhardt.

## UNESCO Status

Petra has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1985. UNESCO has described it as "one of the most precious cultural properties of man's cultural heritage".

Petra is Jordan's most-visited tourist attraction. Tourist numbers peaked to half a million in the first quarter of 2019.

Saraiki people

The **Saraikis** (Punjabi: سرائیکی قوم) are an Indo-Aryan ethnic group, native to South of Punjab province of Pakistan, but are found all over Pakistan, mainly in Derajat region. They are known as **Multanis** and **Bahawalpuri** in India. They speak Saraiki dialect of Panjabi.

They National day of Saraiki is celebrated on November 22.

## Etymology

The word Saraiki is probably derived from Sindhi word Sirai, which means native people of Siro/Sero region in ancient Sindh, which is corrupted term of Sauvira an ancient kingdom mentioned in Mahabharata. the Siraiki term is still used in Sindh, for a Sindhi dialect which is spoken by Sindhi Sirai Jats and Sindhi balochs, today Sindhi Siraiki is renamed as Siroli/Sireli. to not get it confused with Saraiki language of South Punjab, both have small similarities.
