Two Wheel Drive
... be able to see from the videos, we spent most of our drive on two wheels and at one point, Emma was allowed to drive (...now THAT is scary!). When we weren't dune bashing in the 4WDs, we were snapping photos or walking up to the top of the dunes and sprinting/jumping back down.
We stayed at a local Bedouin campsite in the desert for the night and it was a perfect way ...
Wadi Rum and Petra by Night
... you really can't see anything. When you get to the end you see a thousand candles lit in front of the Treasury. It is a nice site but darned if I could get a picture.
I would suggest doing the Siq and Petra city tour first by day. Then you could decide if you want to do it by night. Many people spend a couple of days and get a multi-day pass. I got a nice little book from one of the people selling - it might be a good idea to get one ...

Camping in the desert
... a standard (i.e., mediocre) mid-Eastern breakfast. At ten, most of us take off in jeeps for a tour of the desert and a meeting with the local Bedouins. The highlight is seeing the spot where T.E. Lawrence met with King Abdullah, even though the carvings were significantly smaller than I had anticipated. By the time we get back to our camp, it's hot enough for me to change into shorts for the brief trip to Aqaba. ...
