Petra Theater, constructed during the 1st Century AD in Petra, Jordan, exemplifies the advanced engineering and architectural prowess of the Nabataeans. This impressive structure features a semi-circular auditorium meticulously carved out of the local sandstone, with the seating area divided into three horizontal tiers, separated by broad passageways and accessible via seven stairways. The theater's stage and external walls, built from dressed stone, complement the rock-carved auditorium.
