  • Keith,

    Thanks for your suggestion about Wadi Musa. I am still figuring out the logistics.

  • Anil: I think you should stay overnight at Wadi Musa (I don't think you can stay in Petra itself) anyway ... it was a city, not just a building, and will take a considerable time to explore fully. Not sure if there's a sound and light show *every* night; it would be wise to check before you go.

  • Does any one have a first hand experience of photographing Petra, Jordan at night ? Is it worth it for a non professional photographer to spend big buck and stay overnight for just the experience ? Any suggestion where to  stay overnight to get an opportunity to see Petra and then photograph on top ?

    I do not have experience with  night photography, all suggestions are welcome.
