b'connectionsOur trip with Enchanting Travels was truly stress-free with every step laid out for us. Having tour guides who are local or familiar with the area of travel is priceless. Getting tips on where to go and where to stay based on your interests is so valuable. We didnt need to worry about how we would get to tours, where to go, or what time to be ready. Everything was planned out for us. We also had free days to explore where we wanted. Loved it! Let Petra come alive on a Jordan tour.

Avoid the crowds by walking along the 1.5-mile-long Siq in the dark at a leisurely paceit is a surreal experience! When you finally come to the Treasury, lit with over 1,500 candles, it will take your breath away. You sit on mats and are served tea before the short entertainment begins. The evenings entertainment at this UNESCO World Heritage site includes traditional storytelling and live acoustic music performed by local Bedouins. Listen to the gentle, hypnotic strains of the Bedouin flute waft around the small square. With the candles casting light shadows, you feel an uncanny connection to the 2,000-year-old history of this place.Recommended: Petra by Night is open Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday each week, from 8.30-10.30 p.m. It is best to visit in the low season (Mar-May and Sep-Nov) with fewer crowds. 44 \x1a BE ENCHANTED'
