Itinerary

Sharm El Sheikh to Petra – Full Day Adventure

Sharm El Sheikh to Petra Adventure

Your journey begins in the quiet hours before dawn as you depart Sharm El Sheikh and head toward Taba. As the sun rises over the Red Sea, you’ll board the ferry to Aqaba — a scenic crossing that sets the tone for the day ahead.

Upon arrival in Jordan, your guide will greet you and accompany you on a drive through dramatic desert landscapes toward Petra. This is where your Sharm El Sheikh to Petra experience truly comes alive.

Entering the ancient city through the narrow Siq, you’ll walk between towering cliffs until the path suddenly opens to reveal the magnificent Treasury — Petra’s most iconic monument.

Continue exploring the vast archaeological site, including the Street of Facades, Royal Tombs, and Roman-style theater. Your guide will bring history to life, sharing stories of the Nabataeans who carved this city into stone.

After a well-deserved lunch at a local restaurant, you’ll have time to soak in the atmosphere before heading back to Aqaba. From there, take the ferry back to Taba and return to Sharm El Sheikh late in the evening.
