Nabataeans נבטים

Arab trading people whose kingdom, centered on Petra in present-day Jordan, grew rich from the incense and spice caravans that crossed the Negev to the Mediterranean. They built walled desert cities at Avdat, Mamshit, Shivta and Haluza, and used cisterns and terraced fields to farm the desert. Rome annexed their kingdom in 106 CE. Their Negev cities are a UNESCO World Heritage site.
