Petra

Petra by night

We had read in advance that this spectacle would not be very impressive. But as always, I like to judge this for myself, so we decided to go anyway, also because the curiosity about Petra was so great now that we were finally here in this historic place ourselves. Even the manager of our hotel whispered just before we left that Petra by night is really not worth the money (we would be better off spending this on a wellness evening at the hotel :)). Luckily we were on time, we had one of the last seats, for at least an hour after we had arrived the people kept pouring in. It was so bad that we couldn't see the lights in the square any more and people were crammed up against the Treasury. First impression: oh my god, this is chaos! Illuminating the Treasury was very beautiful, the musicians who were playing probably had an off day, so we decided to turn back earlier, because if all those 100's of people have to go back together through the siq ... that seemed just a little too stuffy for us. Conclusion: glad we saw it, but no need for a second time.
