Petra Sightseeing Tour de 1 día desde Sharm El Sheikh

Very worth it if you are able to withstand the long journey and know what to expect. The tour was a series of well organized and efficient transportation, very knowledgeable guide, good lunch stop and of course the amazing world heritage site of Petra. —>Things to expect: a full 24 hour journey with pickup in the middle of the night with exact time confirmed about 12 hours before, return in the middle of the night, multiple vehicle transfers, multiple passport and security checks, long lines, waves on the sea. Bring enough food and water for yourself to eat between stops. A neck pillow for the van/bus, sweatshirt and nausea medicine if you need it. Each leg is about 1-2hrs between stops, probably 5 each way. One mile walk from Petra ticket station to the treasury, plus return walk. You can pay for a golf cart or a horse if you can’t walk, around $20USD each way. There is food at the Petra visitor center and cafe at the treasury. You will mostly only have time to see the Treasury as the major attraction, as other parts of the ancient site are too far away from the main area to see during the short trip.

the return and return transportation are appropriate. The recommendation to take food and water is not necessary in my view because there is a stop on the way and back where it can be made the supply with snacks , water coffee etc. I don't think it is necessary to stop for shopping on the walk because this results in less time to explore the ruins of Petra ; the ideal is to spend about 4 hours there within at least what was not possible . The catamaran departure from Taba was delayed and there was still a stop for shopping on the go route , which as I said above , is unnecessary . The guide (English) was extremely kind and attentive, Elli save misleading his name. A very important point is to take money in kind to pay the ride in the carriages that exist in the park , because going down the whole city and climbing to explore the mountains and going to the Monastery is , in fact , very tired to return on foot and on the rise all the time under the very hot sun .

Petra is beautiful and mystical, it will stay in my memory for a very long time. What made it even better was our guide, Kareem. Best guide I’ve ever had.

A great trip with an extremely knowledgeable guide. Be prepared to be dropped at a "marina" in the middle of nowehere on the Egyptian side which leaves you feeling a bit apprehensive - all part of the experience. Sadly, we were "treated" to two 45 minute "rest stops" which were primraily aimed at selling us souvenirs, thereby reducing the time I would have rather spent at the end point in Petra. There was insufficient time to explore much past the Treasury and an extra 45 minutes would have made a huge difference. When booking, our agent advised the ticket price include a horse and cart to/from the Siq. However, these have been replaced by golf buggies, which charge $15 each way. The guide advised the tickets did include a horseback ride from the visitor center to the Siq, but we were required to give a $5-10 tip each way - hardly free, If I had to do it again, I would hire a car and go in a group,

This experience is 100% worth it but it is not for the weak. You will be tired and you will most likely be hungry. You get picked up around 1am they then hand you all the paperwork you will need and you start your journey to the port to get on the ferry which was about 3 hours then you will go through security before getting on the boat which was about an hour ride after the boat ride you will go through security again and receive your visa to enter jordan which is included in this tour (no extra fee), after that you will meet with your guide which is based on language and get on another bus for about 3 hours they do stop twice one for a view and the other at a shop to get coffee, snacks, and souvenirs, once you arrive to petra they will split you up with your guides again according to language and you then start your journey its about an hour hike (very easy hike) and our guide Zaid was very knowledgeable and informative we loved him! After you get to the wonder itself he gives you about 20 minutes to see it for yourself then continues the tour down to see more of the city itslef which was only about another 10 minutes then you are free to explore for about 2 hours before needing to go back to the bus just remember its about an hour hike back but if needed a horse ride is included in your ticket you just have to tip the guy who brings you on the horse, once back on the bus they will bring you to a restaurant to have buffet style food (included) then you will begin your journey back. All in all it was a very organized and enjoyable trip for us no complaints just keep in mind its long and you may be tired so if thats not for you then i wouldn’t book. We loved it and always remember YOLO.

Spectacular, good price quality ratio (after negotiating) Comfortable travel from Egypt. Jordan most expensive country mostly for those coming from Egypt

Absolutely incredible I could not have asked for more the guide was incredible took lots of pics for me you have to get the camel pic in front of the treasurer I paid £10 for it the treasury is breathtaking

Bad company, the guide tried to give us a blow, agreed a time to leave and when we arrived at the parking lot the bus had already left. The guide was there without the bus, said we'd have to pay $50 by taxi to get to the bus. Since we had no other option we had to pay. During the whole journey he was making jokes and evil comments about us and our country .

I was very happy to take part in this tour. Our guide on the bus until the port in Egypt was not very nice and only spoke Russian, but in Jordan we had a guide for Petra and he was very nice. On the way to Jordan there were waves so the boat was moving a lot and I was very sick, bring motion sickness medicine although the way back was very calm. Petra was amazing, we had 4 hours there, 2 with the guide and 2 on our own.

Truly fantastich, thanks to our guide kareem who knew exactly how to increase the tension, you just don't know where to look
