From Amman: Petra by Night Tour with Optional Day Visit

Start your visit to the astonishing rock city of Petra by yourself or with your local guide if hired. This fascinating ancient Nabatean capital dominated the Arabian trade routes and is a must-see in the Middle East. You will pass the Siq, a narrow gorge where you get the first close views of the colorful sandstone, ending at the beautiful Treasury. Walk along the Street of Facades to the Royal Tombs, the Theater, and Qasr Al Bint. Free time on your own, then walk the same way back to the entrance gate. The average time customers spend in Petra is 5 hours, but you are free to extend the length of your stay if you are willing to visit Petra by night.

Experience a unique and magical way to see Petra. This nighttime experience begins at 8:30 PM from the visitors center and lasts for about 2 hours. Your experience starts with a pickup from your hotel or accommodation in Amman. 

Begin your unique experience with a stroll along Al-Siq in complete silence to indulge in the mesmerizing sights around you. Hundreds of candles light the path on either side. Upon arriving at the treasury, sit down and enjoy listening to traditional Jordanian music played by local Bedouins while being surrounded by candles. 

Gaze at what’s left of the natural landscapes, rocks, and mountains, and experience a star-lit sky. The candles and moon create stunningly beautiful and magical scenes all around. When the event ends, head back toward Amman in a climate-controlled vehicle.
