Keith,

Thanks for your suggestion about Wadi Musa. I am still figuring out the logistics.
Keith Kellett September 14, 2012 at 10:43am

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.
Anil September 14, 2012 at 5:17am

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.
