The famous American host Oprah Winfrey visited the ancient city of Petra in southern Jordan with her friend Gayle King during her tour of Jordan, which included visits to Wadi Rum and Aqaba. Oprah stated on her Facebook account that this "rose city," which has been voted one of the Seven Wonders of the World, contains "a lot of history." She added that it takes "3 days to see the details of Petra, but we only spent 3 hours there," urging her followers to add this site to their list of must-see places.
