Overview

Petra Day Trip from Sharm El Sheikh – Explore the Rose City

Embark on a breathtaking Petra Day Trip from Sharm El Sheikh and explore one of the most iconic archaeological treasures in the world — the Rose City of Petra. Known for its rock-carved facades and advanced water systems, Petra is a UNESCO World Heritage site that leaves every traveler in awe.

This unforgettable adventure to Petra begins with a morning pickup from your hotel and a scenic drive to Nuweibaa Harbour. There, you’ll board the ferry to Aqaba. Upon arrival at the Royal Yacht Club, our friendly representatives will assist you with all arrival formalities.

Journey Through History

From Aqaba, enjoy a comfortable coach ride through Jordan’s dramatic desert landscapes. Soon, you’ll reach Petra — once the capital of the ancient Nabatean kingdom.

Your guided tour begins at the Petra Visitor Center. As you walk past carved tombs, you’ll enter the legendary Siq — a narrow, winding gorge framed by towering sandstone cliffs. After a kilometer of walking through the Siq, Petra reveals its crown jewel: El Khazneh, also known as The Treasury — a majestic structure carved into the rock, nearly 40 meters tall.

Explore More Than Just the Treasury

But the adventure doesn’t stop there. Petra is filled with astonishing sights, including:

• Elaborate royal tombs

• Rock-cut temples

• A Roman-style amphitheater

• Carved burial chambers and homes

As the poet Dean Burgon wrote:

“A rose-red city half as old as time.”

You’ll walk ancient trade routes once traveled by Nabatean merchants, gaining insight into a civilization that thrived over 2,000 years ago.

After exploring Petra, return to Aqaba, where we’ll assist you in boarding the ferry back to Egypt and then transfer you to your hotel.
