Petra by Night
About 1,500 candles light up the Siq and the square in front of Al-Khazneh, accompanied by Bedouin music and storytelling. It is Petra's most romantic night tour.
The night tour usually departs from the visitor center at 20:30 on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Guests walk about 30 minutes through the Siq by candlelight to the front of Al-Khazneh, sit on the ground, listen to Bedouin flute music and stories, and watch light projections. It ends around 21:30–22:30. The ticket costs about 17–20 dinars, is sold separately, and is not included in day tickets or the Jordan Pass. Photography is difficult when crowds are large, so arrive early to get a spot near the front. Use flashlights in the Siq carefully so you do not disturb the atmosphere.
