What to bring
Petra — from the Greek for “rock” — is an ancient city in today’s Jordan carved into the cliffs. It is called the rose-red city because its rocks turn pink and red at sunrise and sunset, and it is one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.
The Treasury and the Siq
You walk about a kilometre through the narrow Siq gorge until it opens onto Al-Khazneh, “the Treasury”, carved by the Nabataeans in the 1st century. Legend says a pharaoh’s or bandits’ treasure was hidden there, but nothing was ever found and its true purpose remains a mystery.
Roman Petra
The Colonnaded Street and the theatre date from the Roman period, which began in 106 AD. You also see the Royal Tombs and climb Al-Habis for the view.
The journey
A night departure, a ferry from Taba to Aqaba and a full day with a guide and lunch, returning to Sharm late at night.

Such beautiful places on this trip. I've only just been, but I already want to go again. The walk through the canyon was my favourite part.
Rachel DavydovaJuly 2023 · Translated from Russian
The highlight of the tour was without doubt the walk through the mesmerising Siq, the narrow gorge leading to Petra. About a kilometre along this beautiful natural path was a thrilling experience. As I came out of the Siq, the iconic Al-Khazneh, the Treasury, came into view. Its intricately carved rock façade, shrouded in mystery and legend, left me in awe of the ancient craftsmanship. Our guide gave a fascinating account of the history and meaning of this architectural marvel.

Tell me, are there any problems crossing the border after the ferry, and then will there be any problems entering Israel?
