such a great idea, congratulations to the organisers. walking from the gate down a candle lit path, through the Siq and then the breath taking view of the treasury, lit by hundreds of candles,a brief intro, a cup of sweet tea then a performance of some local music: This would have been the perfect experience if not for a few...

The candles were beautiful and the tea they served at the beginning was nice but the show was not that spectacular. The actual structures in Petra were more amazing.

Petra by night is just magical. I can certainly recommend this as the best introduction to Petra, if your arrival coincides with one of the evenings that it is offered. If not, try it anyway. I am sure you will not be disappointed.

I was really disappointed in this experience. It is not worth the money. The lighting was very poor and I was expecting more lighting on the treasury. The musical entertainment bordered on boring and the ending where they got everyone to use their flashes on their cameras to light up the treasury was pretty lame. Save your money and time,... More

Interesting following the candle lit path through the Siq to arrive at the Treasury. Worth it to be there as soon as the gates open to be able to get to the Treasury before all the people arrive, otherwise it's too crowded and you can't see most of the candles and they don't light up the Treasury very well so...

Don't spend the seventeen dollars. Even though there was a full moon and the paths were light up with candles which created a romantic atmosphere, the Treasury was not lit up enough and the performance was poor.

This is not at all what I thought it would be. But it was a great experience and I am glad I went. I thought more of the caves would have candles in them, but did not... It was still a magical experience... but not to a huge commercial level. If you are too tired, it is missable. But, it... More

The road to the Petra city was poorly lit at the start and people used their mobile phones & torches to look at the road for walking. Given the road's condition (which is not tarred) which is ridden with various sizes of stones, mud & sand, better lighting was expected. Since me & my wife had been to Petra that... More

Walking through the candle-lit siq (a cleft in a hill-sized rock that narrows at points to just a couple meters across), stepping off to the side and stopping to look up at the stars (brilliant in the desert sky), continuing on in anticipation, and finally glimpsing the Treasury is pretty darned special. There is seating on mats among the luminaria... More
