The capital of the Nabataean kingdom was the city of Petra (in Jordan). The kingdom flourished as was located on the crossroads of trade routes in the middle of the arid Arabian desert, tired and merchants necessarily visited on his way to Peter and Hegre. The Nabataeans were famous for their monopoly on the trade in spices, herbs and spices. After the capture of the Nabatean kingdom by the Romans in 106 AD . overland trade route was replaced by the sea that ran through the Red Sea. Hegra ceased to be a center of trade. Further information about this ancient town sketchy: it is mentioned only pilgrims who kept the way to Mecca.
