Discover the Story of Petra Like Never Before: A New Projection Experience at Petra by Night This season at Petra by Night, we’re offering something truly special — a powerful new projection show that tells the story of Petra using light, sound, and holograms. Set against the dramatic backdrop of the Treasury, this show brings Petra’s history to life in a magical and unforgettable way. 1. The Carving of Petra The show begins by showing how the Nabataeans carved Petra’s buildings directly into the rock. Through creative light projections, you’ll see the process come alive, as if ancient stonemasons are carving the Treasury before your eyes. 2. The Story of King Aretas IV We then introduce you to King Aretas IV, one of Petra’s greatest rulers. Using 3D effects and holograms, we tell the story of his leadership and how he turned Petra into a powerful and rich capital. His rule marked the golden age of the Nabataeans. 3. The History of Petra Next, the projection takes you on a journey through Petra’s rich history. You'll see how it became a center of trade, culture, and architecture. The show highlights the many civilizations that influenced Petra, from the Nabataeans to the Romans. 4. The Great Earthquake One dramatic part of the show recreates the powerful earthquake that damaged Petra centuries ago. With sound effects and shaking light visuals, you’ll experience the moment the city was forever changed. 5. Petra’s Amazing Water System Finally, the show explains how the Nabataeans built a smart and advanced water system in the desert. Using animated theories, we show how they collected, stored, and moved water, a key reason Petra was able to survive and grow in such a dry area. Art and Imagination After the Show At the end of the show, guests can enjoy a 15-minute photo session while we display artistic versions of Petra on the Treasury. These include colorful, dream-like, and traditional styles — showing Petra not only as it was, but as it continues to inspire the world today.
