You’ll travel from Sharm El Sheikh to Jordan using a well-organized ferry and coach system, allowing you to arrive early at Petra and explore the site before the afternoon crowds. Inside Petra, a licensed Jordanian guide leads you through the Siq, the Treasury, the Royal Tombs, and other major landmarks while sharing fascinating stories about the Nabatean civilization.

this tour truly special is the balance between guided exploration and personal free time. You’ll enjoy expert explanations at the key monuments, and still have time to walk deeper into Petra, take stunning photos, or enjoy a quiet moment surrounded by ancient history.
