The Nabateans were a culture centered on the north end of the Gulf of Suez, spanning from the Negev Desert, the adjacent part of the Sinai Peninsula, South Jordan and the adjacent coast of Saudi Arabia. They occupied the land of Nabatea as neighbors to the south of Judea in Roman and post Roman times. The city of Petra in what is now Jordan is a popular tourist destination today and one of the major surviving Nabatean sites. Nabatea was essentially all desert, and the Nabateans were experts at hydraulic engineering, building waterworks to capture, store and use the sparse but intense desert storms to provide water for surprisingly productive desert agriculture.
