The Ancient City of Petra, Jordan - One of the New 7 Wonders of the World
The ancient city of Petra in Jordan became one of the 7 New Wonders of the World when it was chosen in 2007 by a vote of 100 million people. The city's carved rose-red sandstone rock facades, tombs, and temples became known around the world with its appearance in Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade in 1989.
Petra is a historic and archaeological city in southern Jordan. It is adjacent to the mountain of Jabal Al-Madbah, in a basin surrounded by mountains forming the eastern flank of the Arabah valley running from the Dead Sea to the Gulf of Aqaba. The area around Petra has been inhabited from as early as 7000 BC.
I have included the following Points of Interest in Petra:
- The Treasury
- Street of Facades
- The Amphitheatre
- The Great Temple
- Ad-Deir (Monastery) along with the As Deir Cafe opposite.
The scenery objects including the temples, camels and bedouin were created and textured by myself. I have made use of PBR textures, added night lighting effects at The Treasury which somewhat recreates the night tours that happen in real life.
I have created POI's for each temple so if you search for 'Petra' in the left search bar within the World Map screen you will be able to start in the air towards Petra. The nearest airfield is At-Tayyibah Airport (OJAT) loctated 28km to the West of Petra but is a very small grass strip.
Petra is also located near to the Dead Sea which is to the North of Petra and sits below sea level by around -1,200ft

Excellent scenery. I used the drone feature to explore this wonderful addon. Thank you for the detail! I am planning to use this in a little bush trip to explore this part of Jordon if that's alright with you. I will, of course, credit you for the wonderful scenery you created. Quick question, I can't seem to find the Cafe and Monastery. Are they near the temple or the amphitheater?

WHAT!?!?!? One of the 7 wonders of the world!?!?!?
Please say you're an American and I'll readilly forgive your ignorance and change my rating of 1 star.
Because otherwise, this is a great addon!
EDIT: Oh, I see you're mentioning some 'new' wonders of the world... Well, I guess one can always find an excuse... Here's your 5 stars:
