An Amazing Petra by Night Experience

Petra by Night Photo Guide: How to Avoid the Crowds and Capture the Perfect Atmosphere ✨ Recommended Entry Times • For the relaxed traveler: Enter a bit later. You don't have to watch the whole show. First, take photos in the Siq, and then, after the crowds have dispersed, use the candles on the ground in front of the Treasury to create a stunning atmosphere! • For the eager traveler: Buy your Petra by Night ticket before entering during the day. When the staff clears the site, show your Petra by Night ticket to stay inside. However, policies sometimes change, so it's best to confirm the details with the ticket staff when purchasing your ticket. This way, you can be among the first to take photos as soon as the candles are lit, without any crowds! 📸 Photography Tips 1️⃣ Low-angle shots: Get close to the candles on the ground to capture more dreamy light and shadow effects. 2️⃣ Use the light: The candlelight is soft, so use it to take silhouettes or portraits. 3️⃣ Tripod + long exposure: Ensures stability for night shots and clearer pictures! ⚠️ Tips • Remember to bring a jacket, as the temperature difference in Petra at night is significant. • The lighting is dim, so adjust your camera or phone to night mode in advance. 📍 To capture stunning night views of Petra and avoid the crowds, remember to plan your time in advance.

Petra By Night

Petra, one of the 7 Wonders of the World. I’ll never forget this memorable day. I woke up really early to watch the sunrise from the Treasury and running towards the Monastery just in time to watch the sun coming out behind this “huge-rock”. I’ve walked more than 21km for about 15 hours that day, it felt like I was in a movie! one of my favorite moments was definitely seeing Petra by night! the Treasury in the dark brought a whole new experience, with over a thousand of candles lined the path from the Entrance of Petra through the Sun leading up to this magical view!
