The construction of Petra, the ancient city carved into rock in modern-day Jordan, involved thousands of skilled workers, including stonemasons, architects, and laborers. While it's difficult to determine an exact number, estimates suggest that the workforce could have ranged from several hundred to a few thousand people at any given time, especially during its peak in the 1st century AD. The complexity and scale of the site reflect the collective efforts of a diverse community over several centuries.

It depends where you are in Egypt. 1) You can fly to Amman from Cairo and then from Amman take a bus to Petra. 2) If you are on the Sinai peninsula, take the ferry from Nuweiba to Aqaba and then catch a public bus to Petra. You can also take a taxi. Please see related links for timetables and fares.
