Petra Excursion Sharm El Sheikh
Rated 5.00 out of 5
Sale! $235,00
If you're dreaming of a breathtaking adventure, you cannot miss the magnificent stone marvels of Petra. The journey may require a bus, boat, horse, or camelback travel over the six-hour trip from Sharm El Sheikh in Egypt, but trust us when we say that the experience is worth every effort. Petra is more than just a popular tourist destination in Jordan. It's a historical gem that boasts immensity, beauty, and significance incomparable to any other archaeological site worldwide. You'll have the chance to explore the city of Petra, carved into the mountains almost 2,000 years ago, and witness its grandeur firsthand. Our itinerary includes pick-up at your hotel, a bus to the borders, a ferry to Petra, and a two-hour drive to Petra to start your adventure with an English-speaking guide. Petra was once home to 30,000 people who thrived in this desert and quenched their thirst through a channel and cistern system that harvested and stored winter rains for future use. The Nabateans were incredibly skilled engineers who even built gardens amidst the harsh environment. Your first walk in Petra will be through the stunning Canyon of Siq, a natural geological feature formed from a deep split in the sandstone rocks. This Canyon is one of the main reasons Petra was an alluring site for the Nabateans, behind a narrow and easily defensible canyon known as the Siq. Your next visit should be to the Pharaoh's great treasury, Al Khazneh. It has classical Greek-influenced architecture and was built initially probably between 100 BC and 200 AD. The Nabateans were excellent engineers; they made water conservation and irrigation systems and carved their homes, temples, graves, and tombs out of the rocks. Let's not forget about the Roman Theater, where a period follows in which the dominant civilization combines Greek, Egyptian, and Syrian elements, pointing to the age of the Ptolemies. With the fantastic skill of the Nabateans, they built water conservation and irrigation systems and carved their homes, temples, graves, and tombs right out of the rocks. After a memorable day of exploring, you'll enjoy a delicious lunch in a fantastic restaurant in the city centre. But before we head back to the port, we'll take you to visit Al Habis Fort, where you'll have a fine view over the entire central Petra basin, where the Al-Habis Crusader Fortress is located. It is a secondary fortress designed and sited to control the strategic communication route within the Petra basin that was not in sight of the Al-Wu'eira Fortress. Petra is not just a destination; it's an experience of a lifetime. Petra is worth the journey if you're looking for a trip that will leave you with lasting memories and a sense of wonder.

Moses Mountain Trip Sharm El Sheikh ($0,00 – $30,00)
reviewed by Imtiaz Ahmed
I recently had an incredible adventure visiting Mount Sinai. During my trip, I saw many historical sites such as the place of the golden calf, Moses Well, burning bush, and St. Catherine Monastery. Hiking up Moses Mountain was quite a challenge as it stands at 2250m above sea level and requires starting the ascent at night. However, the African night sky was breathtaking, making the journey even more magical. The final 752 steps were the most difficult, but the sunrise at the top of the mountain made it all worthwhile. It was indeed an unforgettable experience.

Petra Excursion Sharm El Sheikh ( $235,00)
reviewed by Eman
It was a long day, lasting for 26 hours, but the visit was definitely worth it. The guide in Jordan was excellent, and the program was designed to provide the maximum viewing experience. The lunch provided was also excellent. However, the Egyptian side was not well-organized, and we had to wait an hour on the road after hotel pickups for a disorganized guide. The ferry terminal was chaotic with security and passport checks, insufficient seating for everyone and unpleasant toilets. Nevertheless, the Jordan side of the trip was very enjoyable and will remain in our memories forever.

Monastery of Saint Catherine Trip Sharm El Sheikh ( $30,00)
reviewed by Subhan
I was fascinated by the Burning Bush, which turned out to be a massive tree associated with Moses. Additionally, there were some stunning architectural structures to admire. The displays of ancient texts and icons were meticulously documented and very captivating. I had a great experience at this place and wish we had more time to explore fully.

The mountains in Sinai are genuinely breathtaking. Along the coast, they're rugged and rocky with scarce vegetation. But if you venture to areas with more greenery and water, you'll come across authentic Bedouin villages. These are genuine Bedouins who live off the land, with camels and goats and improvised housing mixed with cinderblock homes provided by the government. It's not a Hollywood set but a genuine way of life.

Cairo Trip by Plane Sharm El Sheikh ( $200,00)
reviewed by Sania
I must say that my experience was nothing short of amazing, and the package undoubtedly offered exceptional value for its price. It is worth mentioning that the camel ride to the other side of the pyramids and the River Nile trip were not included in the package, but they were absolutely worth the additional expense. Our guide, Surwat, was outstanding and went above and beyond to ensure our comfort throughout the day.
