To visit Petra during daylight is awe-inspiring! However, to experience it at night by the light of 1,800 candles is an out-of-this-world experience. Petra by Night is an after-dark guided excursion into the ancient city that adds an entirely new dimension to your experience in Petra; the candlelit walk, leaving the lights of Wadi Musa behind to enter the split of the siq in silence, is magical. Nothing can match the atmosphere of walking through fabulous monuments to the Siq at night, with only the light of candles placed every few meters to guide the way. The climax comes as you reach the Treasury plaza, where candles throw flickering shadows onto the great facade as a Bedouin musician plays on a pipe, following that. You will be entertained with a story about Petra and the Nabateans where it adds more interest when you know the friendly, informative, and cultural about the past. Petra by Night runs every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday of each week. It starts at 20:30 from Petra Visitor Centre and delivers you back by a licensed guide to the Visitor Centre around 10.30 pm. The incomparable experience begins by walking the entire Siq to the Treasury, lit with over 1,500 candles to bring the significant attraction due to the spectacular view.
