Experience Petra by Night

On select evenings, the walk through the Siq to the Treasury is transformed: lit by around 2,000 candles, with music and, since its 2025 reimagining, projection and narration adding to the spectacle. Walking the dark canyon by candlelight to the glowing Treasury is genuinely magical, if busier and more staged than the daytime visit. It runs several nights a week and requires a separate ticket on top of a valid daytime one. It's an atmospheric add-on rather than a must-do, so weigh it against your budget. We'll explain the nights it runs, the cost, and whether it's worth it for you.
