Jordanian landmark described as "a rose-red city half as old as time"

I believe the answer is:

petra

(Other definitions for petra that I've seen before include "Rock-hewn city of Jordan" , "Ancient Jordanian city carved from rock" , "Burgon's rose-red city" , "Ancient Asian city, now in Jordan" , "Jordan's rock-hewn city" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
