Petra by Night
Petra by Night
Depart Amman to Petra and Wadi Musa, known as the Valley of Moses.  In Petra, you will have the option of touring the town, shop, and dine as you prepare for your Petra By Night experience.  
The entire Siq and Treasury are lit with over 1000 candles.  Your evening starts with a stroll down the Siq in complete silence, as to reflect on the beauty and the incredible sights around you.  The nights are clear and full of stars.   Once you arrive at the Treasury, you sit on mats and listen to traditional Jordanian music played by the local Bedouins, all while enjoying a hot cup of tea. Your evening whines down with a story about Petra and the Nabataeans civilization.   Your tour ends with a walk through the Siq back to town.

Start your day early and enjoy Petra By Day.  
The vast and unique city of Petra was carved into the sheer rock face by the Nabataeans, an industrious Arab Civilization who settled in the region more than 2000 years ago.  The Nabataeans were nomadic Arab people from Arabia who began to arrive and settle into the city.  By the 2nd century BC, Petra had become a bustling city center and was the capital of the Nabataean Kingdom.   The remains of the city consist of Royal Tombs, Obelisk, Houses, Streets, Temples, a Theater, a Monastery, and the Treasury.  On its inscription as a World Heritage Site, it was described as ‘one of the most precious cultural properties of man’s heritage.

Petra By Night is offered Monday, Wednesday and Thursdays.
