lancanyinzkk:“Generally, everyone is advised to eat a full dinner before the night tour, because the normal tour ends at 17:00 in the afternoon, and the area will be cleared and reopened at 20:00 in the evening. Tourists need to walk the road to Khazneh Temple again to participate in the night tour~
I remember it was 19:30, waiting at the entrance to open on time at 20:00. Arriving at the gate early is to seize the opportunity and occupy a good geographical location. The number of tourists for night tours increases year by year, and the place is so small. In addition, in order to take a closer and clear photo of the candlelight on the ground, it is definitely advantageous to sit closer. However, the opposite happened. Their arrangement was very strange. The earlier you arrive, the further back you sit. This is also the strangest thing about the night tour for me.
Because there were so many people, everyone wanted to reach the destination as soon as possible, so the pace was getting faster and faster, and finally it became a forced march... Despite this, while my footsteps became more frequent, my hands were not idle, and the phone in my hand was in PHOTO mode from beginning to end~
As I got closer and closer, the light of the candlelight penetrated into my eyes little by little. When the Khazneh Temple was fully displayed, the unhappiness of the road ahead disappeared, and there was only endless admiration for what I saw in front of me. How many people have come all the way here just for this night, for this world of this night!
There are only two performances in the actual night tour, a long piece of Bedouin music and a Bedouin chant. If you don't understand the Bedouin language and culture, the actual significance of the program may not be great.”

It has all kinds of brands, including H&M, Zara, Starbucks, McDonald's, Xiaomi, etc. There is also a cinema on the top floor. There is also a local dessert gift shop on the first floor, which was founded in 1942. You can try it for free. Chocolate desserts are 23 JD per kilogram, and boxed biscuits and desserts range from 7 to 25 JD. They are very suitable for bringing back home as gifts.”

一直在路上的猫:“Environment:
In the town of Petra, most people who come to Petra are in the scenic area. It takes about one kilometer to walk along the scenic area to get to the town. It is an uphill road and it is very difficult to walk. I came to this restaurant because of the good reviews from the public. The environment is just on the edge of the top of the mountain, and it is quite pleasant to overlook the night view.
Service:
The service is very enthusiastic. The clerk kindly recommends that you must order the local specialty camel meat, and you will be given free black tea after eating.
Mutton bibimbap 10JD A whole lamb leg is stewed in sour cream soup. It tastes very good. The lamb is very tender and can be eaten with soup.
Camel meat set 12JD Highly recommended local specialty camel meat, the meat is beaten into meat paste and then made into meat rolls. It tastes good, very tender and juicy, and the rice is the local specialty long rice.
Mango juice 2JD, a little expensive, not freshly squeezed, but the kind of juice. Overall, the meal is satisfactory. If you come to Petra, you can try it.”

爱的康乃馨:“The restaurant is on the second floor of the Fairmont Amman Hotel. The environment is nice and the service is good. But the portion is a little small for me. The seven of us spent more than 500 JOD in total. Because it was quite exquisite, I didn’t seem to be full. Next time I will go to the third floor to try the Arabic food. You can try it if you have time.”

Knight Rider:“Jordan's only seaport, a famous tourist destination on the Red Sea, Tala Bay is a must-visit
Want to know how it feels to stand on the border of four countries? Come to Tala Bay. The west coast is Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, the south is the Saudi border, and the northwest is Israel's Eilat.
🌊Tala Bay is only a dozen kilometers away from the city of Aqaba. It is a famous diving resort on the Red Sea and is famous for its beaches and luxury resorts. When you arrive at the entrance of Tala Bay, you need to show your passport to register before entering.
🏠Stores and shopping streets are lined up one after another. The trees are trimmed into squares like Morocco, like a big hat. The milky white low buildings and brick red and pink small buildings are hand in hand and shoulder to shoulder, together with the beach and dark blue sea water, forming today's Tala Bay Beach.
🌮There are really not many restaurants to dine in the bay. De Soto is probably the only choice. Two people ordered drinks + seafood salad + sandwiches, which cost about 280 yuan, which is not cheap. Fortunately, the quantity is large, and it was packed.
The service is very good. Please note that the next dish will not be served until you finish the previous one, so don't wait and ask for it to be served together.
💗Tips:
⏰1. Best travel season: Jordan is summer from mid-March to October. November and April of the following year are the best travel times. I suggest avoiding the coldest winter. September-November and March-April are the best. It is too cold to go into the water and the scenery is also affected.
⛵2. You can book water and underwater projects at the store in Tala Bay or at the hotel in Tala Bay, such as the underwater glass boat. You can sit in the glass-bottomed boat to see fish and corals. It costs 20JD per person and lasts 1.5 hours. It is not bad.
🏠3. In winter, almost all shops are closed and there are few restaurants. There are about two or three. There is a small supermarket where you can buy things.
🏨4. It is recommended to stay in Tala Bay, not in the city. There is really nothing to see in the city. Tala Bay is beautiful and suitable for taking pictures”

The Cave Bar
5.0/52 Reviews
Open at 15:00 today
bluecrane:“【Location】After the security check of Petra scenic area, but not to the ticket gate, it is very conspicuous. Next door is the guest house, go from the right side of the railing.
【Environment】The gimmick is the cave, but in summer everyone sits outside, so I took a photo of the cave. I saw the cave a lot this day, so it is not fresh.
【Food】There is food before 10:30 pm. There are relatively few dishes, mainly salads, sandwiches, hamburgers, and Middle Eastern dishes. The Jordanian dish is different every day. I encountered a lamb tajine pot once. The lamb was stewed very well. Although it was light overall, it was still delicious. Another time it was barbecue, but I didn't order it. There was also chicken liver, which was delicious. A portion of five chicken wings with fries is also good, and the grilled shrimp is a bit light.
Cocktails are very based on mood. The first time there was very little alcohol, and the second time the total amount was less, but the alcohol concentration was much higher.
【Service】A bit greasy. There was a waiter who only knew five words: watermelon and cantaloupe, and he kept saying it. When I went there for the second time, we were given a plate of watermelon.”

Knight Rider:“The most famous Chinese restaurant in Amman to relieve homesickness
It is difficult for Chinese people to accept Middle Eastern food. Judging from the Jordanian food we have eaten these days, it is easier to accept than Morocco, Tunisia and Israel, and it is similar to Turkey. But after a long time, when instant noodles can no longer be adjusted, you need to arrange a Chinese meal to revive. At the end of Rainbow Street, No. 25, there is Ren Chai, the most famous Chinese restaurant in Amman.
🍳The restaurant is so beautiful. This is what Chinese food should look like abroad, not those carved beams and painted buildings with too many Chinese elements, red lanterns and big dragons. It was Christmas, and the colorful lights and decorations were still there. There were not many Chinese guests who came to dine, but more foreigners. Adults and children ate with relish.
🍜When we drank the long-awaited hot and sour soup, the taste was comparable to that in China. The steamed dumplings and spring rolls tasted good, but a few stir-fried dishes were unsatisfactory, too salty, and there was no taste of the dishes themselves. There is no Chinese waiter in this Chinese restaurant, and the menu is only in English, without pictures, so it is difficult to order.
🍽The dishes are mainly Chinese, and they also serve Southeast Asian dishes. After asking, I learned that the chef is Thai, and the boss is not Chinese, but Jordanian. He is well-known in the catering industry and has opened several Japanese restaurants. It would be better if Chinese guests could find faults with the dishes.

Jordan Petra Al Khazneh!!! This place, famous for being the filming location for the Indiana Jones movie, was hard to find, but every photo becomes a work of art!!! It's good to ride a donkey and climb the rock mountain, but Night Petra is a must-see!!!
