Was pleasantly surprised after the reviews I read here. The experience is mostly the thrill of being able to walk around at night, but that’s pretty amazing. The show isn’t too flashy but a good experience, with simple instrumentals and singing that highlight the culture and seem like you could be taken back 2000 years. Only the treasury is lit up and toward the end, but the experience isn’t a light show really. Yes, there were likely hundreds of people but I actually enjoyed and preferred that at times. People were for the most part polite and while going down just ambled together at a relaxed rate. It felt safer that way in the dark and part of a communal experience… easy to imagine a pilgrimage years ago. Just leave a little earlier than 10 and you’ll have the walk going up almost to yourself. Just be careful in the dark! The lanterns are lovely but almost entirely decorative. Especially once in the canyon w less artificial light, it is very very dark and one must be careful for sure. I wouldn’t recommend this for those with mobility issues, unfortunately. I would say that this was an easy adventure… relatively easy hiking but enough of adventure, navigating the dark, nonetheless. The tip I read here about trying to get a seat at the far left is great… nice padded benches outside the shop. Also, contrary to what I had thought, you did not need a day pass as well… so the price isn’t cheap but it’s a nice supplement to a trip to Petra! Enjoy the scenes at night, w the lovely stars above!
