It says in Islam that there was a civilisation there of the people of Ad and Thamud who were destroyed much like Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed. They were a powerful people that built palaces on mountains as art and entertainment.

But weren't both in today's Jordan (Petra) or in the Dead Sea (Sodom and Gomorrah)?

Could have been the same civilisation, Thamud were very advanced. I can't say.
Sodom and Gomorrah are indeed by the dead sea, and it's amazing that they still are there with dead bones and the sulphur pebbles that destroyed them are still there too.
