The set includes the Taj Mahal from India with its pristine white marble domes and minarets, Petra's magnificent Treasury facade carved into Jordan's rose-red cliffs, the ancient Mayan pyramid of Chichen Itza rising from Mexico's jungle, Peru's mystical mountain citadel of Machu Picchu, China's Great Wall snaking across mountainous terrain, Rome's legendary Colosseum with its distinctive arched architecture, and Brazil's Christ the Redeemer statue overlooking Rio de Janeiro. Each 40-piaster stamp presents these wonders in vibrant colors that capture their unique character and setting. This philatelic tribute demonstrates Jordan's appreciation for world heritage and cultural preservation, while also prominently featuring Petra, Jordan's own contribution to the New Seven Wonders of the World as selected by global public voting in 2007.
