Feel like Indiana Jones in 'The Last Crusade' with this day trip to Petra, the Jordanian city which was once the capital of the Nabataeans.
Day Trip to Petra
At the indicated time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Sharm El Sheikh to begin this excursion.
We'll arrive at the Nuweibaa port, around two hours away on the Sinai Peninsula, where we'll board the ferry to Aqaba, taking approximately two hours.
From Aqaba, we will take a bus for a 2-hour trip to Petra to explore the archaeological site, the ancient capital of the Nabataeans. The site is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, known for 'The Treasury' (Al Khazneh), a remarkable temple carved into sandstone, and featured in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
We will also visit the remains of the amphitheater and the Corinthian tomb, significant archaeological sites. We will learn about the Nabataean civilization and the site's historical significance.
Post-visit, we will enjoy an all-you-can-eat buffet lunch in Petra.
After lunch, we'll return to the port of Aqaba by bus, then take the ferry back to Nuweibaa. Finally, we will take a bus to your hotels, expected to arrive around 10 pm.
After eating, we will transit back to the Aqaba port for the ferry to Nuweibaa, followed by a bus ride to Sharm El Sheikh, arriving at your hotel around 10 pm.
