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.

I will never forget the night she and I spent in Petra, admiring the Treasury with candles all over the floor and the starry sky. At this moment, who would you take to share this romantic evening with you? . “Petra by Night” is another must-see when visiting Petra. Although the opening time is 8:30 pm, there is usually a long queue waiting to enter, so if you want to take a photo without the crowd, you should go to the entrance early to queue up. . #mideast #jordan #petra #treasure #unesco #night #lantern #coupleshot #petraByNight

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!

Jordan in the Middle East is a travel destination where you can experience breathtaking views and emotions beyond your expectations. Here are three places that we visited and were impressed by! ⸻ 🕌1. Petra Ruins | The "Rose-Colored Temple" Carved into the Rock After walking through the narrow rock valley "Siq", you will come across the temple "El Hazneh", which looks like a scene from a movie. The rock surface illuminated by the sun shines a slightly pink color, and is breathtakingly beautiful. History buffs and photography lovers alike cannot miss this place! 📍How to get there: Accessible on foot or by horseback from Wadi Musa 🕰Recommended time: Recommended time to visit is in the morning when the soft light shines in✨ ⸻ 🌄2. Wadi Rum Protected Area | It's like you're not on Earth! ? Spectacular views like Mars The red desert and huge rocky mountains spread out before you. Wadi Rum, driven by a jeep, is truly a different world! A series of moving experiences, with Mars during the day and a starry sky at night. The experience of staying in a Bedouin tent is also special. 📍How to experience: You can book a jeep tour and camping from a tour company 🌌Attention: You can see the Milky Way and shooting stars! Don't forget your tripod to take pictures of the starry sky📸 ⸻ 🌊3. Dead Sea | Not only do you float, but your skin will also become smooth! ? "Does it really float?" ... The answer is YES! It's a strange feeling as if your body is floating in the air. Your whole body is supported by the salty water, and just floating around is healing. Don't forget to take care of your skin with the famous "mud pack"! No matter where you look, your trip to Jordan is dramatic. Be sure to experience history, nature, and healing all in one place on your next trip🌍✈️ #Europe trip #trip

🇯🇴-1.1 Finally, we arrived at the highlight of #Petra in #Jordan. This was the place I was most looking forward to on the entire #trip (because after visiting the neighboring countries, I liked them all). Ever since I watched Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade released in 1989, my childhood dream has been to become an archaeologist (of course, I didn’t become one later 🤷🏽♂️), but the magnificent scenery has always been deeply imprinted in my heart. Little Kerry hoped that one day he would be able to see this historic site, which was designated as a World Heritage Site in 1985, with his own eyes. Finally, 34 years later, I fulfilled a distant wish. For me, Petra is divided into Petra with Al-Khazneh and Petra without Al-Khazneh. The reason is that most people only walk to the temple and then turn back, but in fact, the monastery (Ad-deir / Monastery) at the very end is actually much larger and more stunning. Khazneh is also known as the "Treasure" ( #Treasury ). Legend has it that the urn atop the building contains heirloom jewels, and still bears the marks of bullets fired by Nabataeans’ guns. Looking at those bullet marks not only reminded me of the plot of the Indiana Jones movie, but also immersed me in the memories of my youth. Passing through the winding #SnakePath (Al-Siq), which seems to be a road carved out of the towering rock wall, it coils like a snake on the way to the Khazneh Temple. Looking at the strange rocks on both sides, my heart is filled with admiration for the Bedouins. As we walked along the road, a ray of light shone on the ground in the distance ahead, and the magnificent building that came into view was the "Temple of Khazneh" that I had been dreaming of. That's exactly where they chose the Holy Grail in "Independence Day"🤩! The 39.5-meter-high Khazneh was built during the Nabataeans period between 60 BC and 50 AD. It is carved into the cliff, and many of the architectural details have been eroded over the past two thousand years. These sculptures are believed to be figures from various myths related to the afterlife. Walking along the ancient Bedouin roads under the scorching sun, I felt as if I had traveled back to Greece two thousand years ago, exploring this ancient rose city along the land trade route. The rest of Petra is... to be continued!
