Petra, the ancient city in Jordan, is primarily carved from rose-red sandstone, which gives it a distinctive pink hue. The rock formations consist of various layers of sandstone, limestone, and chalk, formed through geological processes over millions of years. The soft sandstone allowed the Nabataeans to carve intricate facades, tombs, and structures into the cliffs, creating the remarkable archaeological site we see today.
