Petra By Night: Petra By Night
  • Tip Rating:
  • The most wonderful place you can go at night is ... and I think one of the most wonderful places in the world ... Petra By Night. On Thursday Petra is open at night, all the Siq is illuminated by candles till the Treasure. There a Bedouin man is playing a flute you can not imagine how magic all this can be. At 20:30 you meet at the entrance of Petra and you must go inside with the group, they recommend not to talk and to go one by one through the Siq, so that nothing lose its mystery, but you know that going in group is always a mess, so just follow the group and try to be the last , and follow the group but keeping a good distance so that you are nearly along between those beautiful pink orange walls I had the great luck to go with Zumodemango that knew, before going there, that this event was going to take place that night ... thanks Zumito Fare: 12 J.D.

    Nature: Wadi Mousa Mountains
  • Tip Rating:
  • We had the great luck to make friends the first day, making friends is not difficult with Bedouins, they are the most wonderful people I have ever met. They invited us to eat at a restaurant and after to the mountains of Wadi Mousa, it was full moon that night and you can believe me when I say that I think I have never seen nothing more breathtaking.

    Candles in Petra: Petra night
  • Tip Rating:
  • Every Thursday the Siq and Tresoury is illuminated with candles adn i think is one of the best experiences i have in my life! Maybe in summer there are another day, Monday, i think, but Thursdays is always. It's a different ticket, for 7,50 J Dinars, it's a full experience to walk at night! we were also very lucky because that Thursday there was full moon! Then in the tresoury there is a musician and he also tells thing about Petra. It was very interesting!

    The Cave Bar
  • Tip Rating:
  • Next to Crowne Plaza Hotel and Mövenpick Hotel and very close to Petra's entrance and visitors centre, you can find this bar which is a nabatean cave. Opens till 12 o'clock at midnight, and it's a very nice place where to have a late night drink after a full day visit around Petra. There are also tables outside the cave which can be very nice if the weather is warm enough.

    from the Visitor's center: Petra by Night
  • Tip Rating:
  • In theory, this is only organized every Monday and Tuesday. This is however theory, the first night I was there, I didn’t have anything to do and I simply walked down to the Visitor center to check the place. There was precisely a visit organized this day (Friday!) because some group from a hotel asked for it… The tour leaves from the Visitor’s center around 8h30 and cost about 12JD. If you have the opportunity to do it, jump on it!! The site from the intrance of the siq to the Kazneh is lit with hundreds of little candle in paper bag! I can still hardly believe they set that up for our little group (15-20 persons at most). We first walked trough the dark siq in silence and when we arrived in front of the treasure, we can guess its shape thanks to tens of those little candles. A delicious tea (not a simple mint tea) is offered and the guide starts telling us his story… This is a perfect introduction to Petra. I’m not sure I would have appreciated it so much if I had already spent the day visiting the site…

    Petra by Night - Light Show
  • Tip Rating:
  • OK, I didn't see this myself BUT that was only because the last time I was in Petra I was 4 months pregnant, tired from hiking and climbing through the park all day AND it was rather cold at night since we were there in December - HOWEVER....had it not been all of the above, I would have loved to experience Petra at night. Apparently local talent puts on a lovely little cultural show inside the park, with narration and lights....I am sure it must be haunting and beautiful even if it does sound a bit cheesy. Tales of the Nabatean are spun while dances are performed under a canopy of desert stars, amidst the theatre of Petra's rose colored city. It just sounds really romantic and worth an evening (there's nothing else to do in Petra anyways)

    Comfortable

    My eyes were looking at the paperbags (as in my photo); Thinking that we were all like that. That flames burning for a short time. Feeling forlorn a bit there. They do look a bit like flowers yes ? Well, I have a flowery life, I thought...

    On this photo, we could see a couple were enjoying the ambience, the story-telling... We were allowed to roam Petra at night but The Tour Guide told us that there used to be a place to sleep in Petra years & years ago. Now no more... Somebody sure would love to make babies in Petra !

    Even the ancient holes on the rock wall were put candles. Nice... Some of the candles did burn the paper bags that they were in...so we could see small fires as we walked along The Siq.

    The Treasury At Night !

    Finally, we reached The Treasury ! There were lots more candles in front of The Treasury. The Treasury during the day is the main photo on this Petra page. Minutes before that actually, we heard sweet ancient music, wailing, singing...Kinda spooky but nonetheless exotic !
