Jordanian archaeological site (5)

I believe the answer is:

petra

(Other definitions for petra that I've seen before include "Historic city in Jordan" , "Old city in Jordan" , "Jordan's rock-hewn city" , "A rose-red city - 'half as old as Time'! (Burgon)" , "Ancient Jordanian city carved from rock" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
