The Nabataeans were an ancient Arab people who inhabited the territories of Jordan, southern Israel, the Sinai Peninsula, and the north-eastern Saudi Arabia. They established a kingdom in the 3rd century BC, that resisted until 106 AD, when it was conquered by the Roman Empire, who established there the province of Arabia Petraea. The capital of the Nabataean kingdom was Petra, a city famous today for its rock-cut architecture. The Nabataeans' main source of wealth was their monopoly on the rich caravan trade that ran from Yemen to the Mediterranean port city of Gaza. The first historically attested king of the Nabataeans was Aretas I around 168 BC. The Nabataean Kingdom reached its greatest extent during the reign of Aretas III.
