The festival will take place in Petra next year.

The EDM scene is constantly expanding, conquering new feats and surprising even the most seasoned partygoers. Enter Medaina — the latest addition to the electronic music festival scene — set to make its dazzling debut in Jordan.

This five-day festival, taking place from 22 to 27 May 2024, is set to unfold against the awe-inspiring backdrops of Petra and Wadi Rum. That's right! The historic sites of Petra, renowned as one of the Seven Wonders of the World, and the visually stunning Wadi Rum, often called the Valley of the Moon, will serve as the stages for this unprecedented spectacle.

At Medaina, you will be treated to an immersive experience. The event begins with a grand opening in the rock-carved marvel of Petra.
