Magic Under the Stars: Petra by Candlelight Experience

Step into a world of wonder with the Petra by Candlelight experience, an unforgettable journey through the ancient city of Petra, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Located in the heart of Jordan’s desert, Petra is a place of stunning beauty and history, but it’s under the stars, illuminated by thousands of candles, that the city truly comes alive.

As you walk through the narrow Siq, a dramatic canyon with towering cliffs, you’ll be guided by the flickering glow of candles. The stillness of the desert night and the soft light create an atmosphere of peace, allowing you to fully absorb the magic of this timeless place. Petra by Candlelight offers a rare chance to experience this extraordinary site in a way that few travellers ever do, making it a must for adventure or history enthusiasts.

The Enchanting Walk Through the Siq

Your journey begins with the walk through the Siq, a narrow gorge leading to Petra. The towering sandstone cliffs on either side create a sense of awe and mystery. As you make your way along the candle-lit path, the anticipation builds. The Siq, carved by wind and water, leads deeper into the ancient city, transporting you back to a time when traders and travellers once ventured to this fabled Nabataean city.

The Unveiling of the Treasury

As you near the end of the Siq, the magnificent Treasury of Petra comes into view, illuminated by the warm glow of candles. The sight of this towering, intricately carved façade under the night sky is awe-inspiring. Seeing the Treasury, or "Al-Khazneh," by candlelight offers a magical and intimate experience. The rose-red sandstone glows softly in the candlelight, creating a moment of pure enchantment that will leave a lasting impression.

Traditional Bedouin Music and Mystical Atmosphere

The Petra by Candlelight experience is accompanied by traditional Bedouin music, played by local musicians using ancient instruments. The haunting melodies of the oud and the rhythmic beat of the darbuka drum echo through the canyon, adding to the mystical atmosphere. As you sit and listen, surrounded by flickering candles and ancient rock-carved monuments, you’ll feel deeply connected to the history and spirit of Petra.

A Journey Through History

Petra by Candlelight is not just a tour—it’s a journey through history that leaves you with a deeper appreciation of Jordan’s cultural heritage. Walking back through the Siq, with the soft glow of the city behind you, the sense of wonder lingers. It’s an experience that stays with you long after you’ve left this ancient site.
