Day trip to Petra — Jordan's Lost City and one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.
Embark on an unforgettable journey from Sharm El Sheikh to the ancient city of Petra, one of the world's most extraordinary archaeological treasures and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Your adventure begins with an early morning transfer to Nuweiba Port, followed by a scenic ferry crossing to Aqaba in Jordan. Along the way, enjoy spectacular views of the Gulf of Aqaba and the surrounding landscapes. Upon arrival in Jordan, travel through breathtaking desert scenery towards Petra, the legendary "Rose City" carved directly into the mountains by the Nabataean civilization more than 2,000 years ago. Enter Petra through the famous Siq, a dramatic natural canyon that leads to the iconic Treasury (Al-Khazneh), one of the most photographed monuments in the Middle East. Continue exploring the Roman Theatre, Royal Tombs, the Colonnaded Street, and other remarkable archaeological sites while learning about the fascinating history of this ancient kingdom. After your guided tour, enjoy lunch at a local restaurant before heading back to Aqaba for a short sightseeing stop and your ferry journey back to Egypt. Return to Sharm El Sheikh late in the evening with unforgettable memories of one of the world's greatest historical wonders.
