Petra at night: romantic, even when you are by yourself
admin October 4th, 2007
We think it’s fair to say Candace was blown away by Petra on a recent trip to the Rose Pink City. We have seldom read such fulsome praise for the famous old site.
At night they had a “Petra by Night” tour where they line the path through the Siq (a HUGE gorge that leads to ‘The Treasury’ building) with candles and have a performance and tea waiting at the treasury. They ask that you remain silent for the walk so one can really take in the experience. I LOVED it. It might have been one of the most romantic things I’ve ever done…which is sad since I walked alone. Haha. The performance included 2 men sitting in the center of 100’s of candles in front of one of the main buildings, 1 singing and the other drumming. The other performance was a man playing the flute. He started playing inside of the building so that all you could hear was the echo and then came out and played around the people. I could go on and on..so really, you have to go
To sum it up: You must go to Petra! I can’t say enough good things about it. Oh! And, every meal I ate was a buffet. And a delicious one at that. So there it is, Petra is a dream.
That’s telling ‘em.
