Petra, Jordan
Coordinates: 30.329057, 35.445011
The Nymphaeum was a grand public fountain along Petra’s Colonnaded Street.
Virtually nothing remains of the ancient superstructure, and even the retaining wall is modern.
It is marked by a 450 year old Pistacchio tree now and is still well worth a stop as you walk down the colonnaded street towards the Temenos Gate.
The fountain that once gave life to it busy city centre.
It is located on the colonnade street that was once the main thoroughfare in Petra.
