"Otherwise cloaked by night, the towering crimson walls of the slot canyon are revealed by the 1,500 flickering candles that flank the footpath leading to the ancient Nabatean city of Petra. As I rounded the bend, a luminous sliver of the Treasury presented itself through a wavy chasm. Upon emerging from the gorge, known as the Siq, I was granted the full, illustrious view of Petra's most famous facade aglow with the light among hundreds of candles blanketing its foreground." - Travel + Leisure Editors
