Please be careful using this file as "Nabataean Petroglyphs" as most of the script is certainly not classical Nabataean although some forms are close to true Aramaic or even Moabite and the image has not be certified as from a reliable source. There are some sections here which are probably Nabataean script but most feature characters which are clearly not forms of extant Nabataean. For example see <<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nabataean_alphabet>> for the Nabataean alphabet on Wikipedia proper or the article on ancient north arabian <<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_North_Arabian>>.

Rock outcrops in this area of the world (Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Syria) are littered with inscriptions in Greek, Latin, Aramaic Dialects (such as Nabataean) and other related scripts such as Safaitic and earlier scripts like Moabite. Further information on Nabataean (and other Arabian) inscriptions can be found in external sources such as:
