Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence against the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land.Petra was part of ancient Edom, who were the descendants of Esau, brother of Jacob.
— Joel 3:19
After the Nile was dammed, Egypt has managed to sustain agriculture to significant levels. It is far, far from a “desolate wilderness”.
Petra is UNBELIEVABLY beautiful!!
