Petra Tour from Sharm El Sheikh by Cruise

Your adventure begins with an early morning pickup from your Sharm El Sheikh hotel at 1:00 am (01:00), followed by a comfortable 3.5-hour journey in our modern air-conditioned bus to Taba. Upon arrival, we’ll assist you with boarding the ferry across the Gulf of Aqaba to Jordan’s Aqaba port, where our expert guide awaits.

Your full-day exploration of Petra begins with an optional horse ride through the first 700 meters (2,297 feet) leading to the famous Siq canyon. Walk through this natural geological wonder – a 1.2 km (0.7 mile) narrow gorge adorned with ancient Nabatean carvings, statues, and sacred niches carved into the canyon walls.

The highlight moment arrives as you emerge from the Siq to witness the iconic Treasury (Al-Khazneh), standing majestically for over 2,000 years. Continue your journey along the Street of Facades to discover the Roman Theatre, Royal Tombs, the Roman Colonnaded Street, and Qasr al-Bint temple complex.

After enjoying lunch at a local restaurant, we’ll return to Aqaba port for the ferry back to Taba, then drive back to your Sharm El Sheikh hotel, arriving at 1:00 am (01:00).
