Petra By Night

You cant finish your tour experience in Petra without visiting Petra by Night Show

This event is a magical way to see part of the rock city by candlelight and explore the old city 
which has become a world wonder, the incomparable experience starts by walking the entire Siq to the Treasury
light with around 1,500 candles and nothing else but their small reflections on the rocks.
After walking in the dark for around 30 minutes you will arrive at the entrance to the treasury where even more candles will great you, lighting it up (kinda, but hardly) in all its (pretty dark) glory
Here you will be (demanded) to sit and wait until the “show” starts.
The show is a man playing the flute, then another man playing the flute. For 30 minutes. Then one of the Bedouins tells a short story of the history.
Following that, you will feel the beat entertainment with a story about Petra and the Nabateans where it adds more interest when you know the nice informative and cultural about the past.
Petra by Night runs every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday of each week
starts at 20:30 PM from Petra Visitor Center and delivers you back by licensed guide to the Visitor Center around 22.30 PM.

The faces of the sheer rock cliffs have been eroded by the wind into faces of men, animals, and monsters. Wadi Rum is probably best known because of its connection with the enigmatic British officer T.E. Lawrence, who was based here during the Great Arab Revolt of 1917-18, and as the setting for the film that carried his name "Lawrence of Arabia". Everywhere in this moonscape place ar...

Qasr Kharana

Qasr Kharana Located in the middle of a vast, treeless plain, this imposing thick-walled structure was the most likely inspiration for the ‘desert castle’ moniker and is arguably the most photogenic of all the desert castles. There is controversy about its function and purpose, but this important Umayyad structure remains an interesting sight for visitors, of the main Azraq–Amman road.  Although it clearly isn’t a castle, Kharana was a vital building for the Umayyads as evidenced by its dramatic size and shape. Despite the fact that it has the appearance of a khan (caravanserai), Kharana wasn’t located on any major trade route, and there appears to be a total absence of structures for water storage. That just leaves the supposition that the building served as a meeting space for Damascus elite and local Bedouin. Named after the harra (surrounding gravel plains), Kharana lords imposingly over a harsh and barren moonscape that appears inhospitable for human habitation. Inside...
