Nabataean architecture
Nabataean architecture or Nabatean architecture refers to the building traditions of the Nabateans, an ancient Arab people who inhabited northern Arabia and the southern Levant. Their settlements—most prominently the assumed capital city of Raqmu (present-day Petra, Jordan), Nabataean architecture is found across ancient settlements in northwestern Arabia, as well as throughout the Southern Levant including the Hauran region and the Negev Desert, reflecting the broad geographic reach of Nabataean civilization.
