Busiest around October · quietest in January — in peak season book a sunset slot 4–6 weeks ahead; off-season means soft light, thin crowds and easy availability.

Why Monastery is a great place to shoot

The Monastery (Ad Deir) in Petra is a remarkable and awe-inspiring structure that offers photographers a fantastic photo spot for various reasons. Here are five reasons why the Monastery is an amazing location for photoshoots: 1.) Grand Scale and Architecture: The sheer size of the Monastery is breathtaking. It's one of the largest structures in Petra and boasts impressive architectural details. Photographers can capture the sense of scale by including people or objects in the foreground, emphasizing the monument's grandeur. 2.) Unique Setting: The journey to the Monastery involves a scenic hike through rugged terrain, which contributes to its allure. Photographers can document the adventure of reaching this remote site, showcasing the beauty of the landscape and the historical significance of the location. 3.) Panoramic Views: The area around the Monastery offers panoramic views of Petra's surrounding landscapes. Photographers can capture sweeping shots of the valley below, showcasing the natural beauty and the intricacies of Petra's rocky terrain. 4.) Carved Facade: Similar to the Treasury, the Monastery's facade features intricate carvings and architectural details. Photographers can focus on capturing the ornate carvings, showcasing the craftsmanship of the Nabateans and highlighting the cultural significance of the site. 5.) Golden Hour Photography: The Monastery is particularly enchanting during the golden hour—early morning or late afternoon—when the sunlight casts a warm glow on the rock face. This magical lighting enhances the colors and textures, making it an ideal time for captivating photographs.

Did an engagement photo shoot with Sofia and she was so good! We haven’t done photo shoots before and she directed us where to go for the best light and how to pose and the photos turned out great! 10/10
