Where Candlelight Meets Culture and Innovation

Step beyond the daylight and into the magic of Petra after dark. Petra by Night invites visitors to witness the ancient city like never before—guided by the gentle glow of 2,000 candles through the legendary Siq, culminating in a breathtaking encounter at the iconic Treasury.

First launched in 1998 and reimagined in May 2025, this immersive experience now combines the timeless charm of candlelight with modern projection mapping and immersive narration. Whether you’re a first-time explorer or returning traveler, Petra by Night offers a fresh and unforgettable connection to the Nabataean legacy.
