Heavy rain that hit the ancient rock city of Petra in Jordan caused a mass evacuation of tourists. The natural disaster was filmed, and the video and details are published by the Daily Mail.
The footage shows how the flood waters from the nearby mountains flow down the pink-red rock in a powerful stream. The most visited tourist attraction in the popular beach country is flooded – there is water in the gorge at the entrance to the temple of Petra. Tourists in a hurry get into jeeps and leave the area.
Petra’s Development and Tourism Authority said the Jordanian government has evacuated about 1,700 tourists from the city due to heavy rains.
