From Sharm El Sheikh: Day Tour to Petra by Ferry

About this activity

Explore Jordan’s most popular attraction, the world-famous Petra, and discover more about the Nabatean lost city.

Begin your journey to Petra with a modern air-conditioned vehicle pickup from Sharm El Sheikh between 1:30 AM and 2:00 AM. Travel to the Taba border, arriving around 6:00 a.m. Be met and assisted at the border, and then travel to the port of Aqaba in Jordan. Take the ferry to Jordan’s “Rose City,” Petra, which is known around the world.

Discover the Nabataean lost city, which was carved into the mountains many ancient times. You can choose to walk or ride a camel to the Siq (canyon), which is a natural crack in the rocks. Follow the trail to the city and marvel at the intricate carvings of statues, idols, and various structures.

At the canyon’s end, you’ll be able to see the famous “Al Khazneh,” which has stood for over 2000 years. With a guide, visit the Roman theatre, royal tombs, Roman colonnaded street, and Qasr al-Bent. After exploring Petra’s many beautiful sights, have lunch in a local restaurant before returning to the port of Aqaba to board the cruise back to Taba. Finally, after arriving in Sharm El Sheikh, you will be relocated back to your hotel around 11:00 p.m.
