Wadi Musa - Petra by Night

When we arrived at the hotel in Wadi Musa(the city right outside of the ancient city of Petra) we were greeted by a group of singing men dressed in traditional Jordanian clothing playing the bagpipe and some drums. We had 

the opportunity that night to discover Petra by night. We put on our jackets and started walking down a path that would lead down into Petra. We walked down part of a canyon until we turned into a more narrow canyon. These canyons resemble the ones in Lake Powell that have really tall sandstone walls that wind back and forth deeper 

into the mountain. We followed the candle light down the small canyon only seeing what was in front of us until we arrived at the treasury(the stone carved building seen in Indiana Jones). It was lit up by hundreds of candles in white paper bags set up in front of it. It was very beautiful and an experience that I’ll never forget. We listened to native music and then took time for pictures before heading back to the hotel.

 The End!
