Petra National Trust (PNT) is a Jordanian non-governmental, not-for-profit organization dedicated to the preservation and protection of the World Heritage Site of Petra. Since its inception in 1989, PNT has worked to bring together people in Jordan and abroad who are committed to that same goal.
HRH Prince Ra'ad bin Zeid, as president of the Board of Trustees, oversees the Trust's activities and guides PNT in the implementation of its mission and the fulfilment of its vision.
PNT implements its mission through conducting preservation projects and by raising awareness and advocacy.
