The [Nabatean](https://www.worldhistory.org/Kingdom_of_Nabatea/) Kingdom was a powerful political entity which flourished in the region of modern-day [Jordan](https://www.worldhistory.org/Jordan/) between the 4th century BCE and c. 106 CE and is best known today for the ruins of its capital [city](https://www.worldhistory.org/city/) of Petra. Precisely when it was constructed is unclear but it was well established by the later 4th century BCE.
