Romantic Interlude and other Petra, Jordan Nightlife Tips

Nightlife Spot: Al Magaad Bar

With a Lawrence of Arabia theme (but of course!), you feel like you're smack in the middle of an extraordinary bedouin tent.

We sat outside in the atrium area and enjoyed a milkshake in the late afternoon, but after dinner we peeked inside the bar area and it was gorgeous....dim lighting, perfect ambience, live music.....perfect for an after dinner drink and quiet conversation or some romance....

Dress Code: Pants for men, pants or dress for women. Sleeveless is OK for women because it's inside an international hotel...but if you show up in a t-shirt and shorts, you might embarass yourself because of the sheer elegance of the ambience.

OK, I didn't see this myself BUT that was only because the last time I was in Petra I was 4 months pregnant, tired from hiking and climbing through the park all day AND it was rather cold at night since we were there in December - HOWEVER....had it not been all of the above, I would have loved to experience Petra at night.

Apparently local talent puts on a lovely little cultural show inside the park, with narration and lights....I am sure it must be haunting and beautiful even if it does sound a bit cheesy. Tales of the Nabatean are spun while dances are performed under a canopy of desert stars, amidst the theatre of Petra's rose colored city.

It just sounds really romantic and worth an evening (there's nothing else to do in Petra anyways)
