Having a vocation as an architect and an avocation as an archeological groupie, gives me some insight to say that Petra by far is one of the most unique in the ancient built world. Why? Because it it was literally carved out of rock unlike almost all other ancient sites with habitable or monumental structures that were constructed by stacking pieces of materials be it wood, stone etc. Furthermore, the intricacy and facade details that were “carved out” surpasses those simplistic abodes of the Anazasi Indians or the almost natural abodes of Cappodocia, Turkey albeit some there have carved facades with details.

[...] Exploring The Ancient Jordan’s City of Petra The City of Petra was hidden in the mountains of Jordan for thousands of years when a young Swiss explorer Johan Ludwig Burckhardt rediscovered it in 1812.Temples, tombs, monasteries and other buildings are all carved out of the sandstone cliffs, which also gives it the name the “rose red city.” UNESCO has described it as “one of the most precious cultural properties of man’s cultural heritage.” (tags: travel) [...]
