An excursion to Petra from Sharm el-Sheikh is one of the most popular and unusual trips. The journey begins at night, when tourists leave their hotels by bus towards the border with Israel.

Petra is an ancient rock-cut city in Jordan that is one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. The main attraction is Al Khazneh (Treasury), known for its magnificent architecture. Also worth seeing are the Rock Facades, the Amphitheater, the Royal Tombs and other amazing structures.

Next, the path leads towards the small village of Ouedi Musa, where the Petra Archaeological Park is located, which was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List and is famous for its beautiful canyons, gorges and the enormous cultural heritage created by the highly developed Nabataean civilization.

Arriving in Petra, tourists can feel the spirit of antiquity and visit the place of those who lived here more than 2000 years ago. One of the main attractions is the grandiose Khazneh, which is called the treasure of the Nabataean capital. This is an architectural miracle made of red sandstone, which amazes with its beauty and power.

Tourists are also invited to go on a hiking tour to Mount Farun, which offers stunning views of the city of Petra. The return to Sharm el-Sheikh is scheduled for the evening, where all guests are delighted with their goal – to see and enjoy the beauty of the ancient culture that lived on these lands many centuries ago.
