You will be transferred from your hotel in Sharm El Shiek to Taba by a modern air-conditioned Vehicle; the way takes about 3 hours and a half. You will be met and assisted at Taba to take the boat to Aqaba,
Then you will move directly to Petra for a full day visit.
The tour includes the red rose rock city, the city of the Nabataeans, the lost city which is all carved in the mountains, riding on a horse to the Siq (canyon) which is a natural crack in the rocks, walking through the 1.2 km canyon and enjoying the beautiful carvings of statues, idols and niches..
On your way, you will be able to see the treasury which has been standing there for over than 2000 years,
Then, you will continue along the facades street to the Roman theatre, royal tombs, the Roman colonnaded street and Qasr al-bent. Lunch will be served and then you will be transferred back to Aqaba port to take the cruise back to Taba, finally, driven back to your hotel in Sharm El Shiek Note: In case of an urgent cancellation on the part of the ferry, or booking on other days out of the schedule, you will be transferred through Taba borders to Arava Borders to cross to the Jordanian side.
Al-Khazneh is one of the most elaborate temples in Petra, a city of the Nabatean Kingdom inhabited by the Arabs in ancient times. As with most of the other buildings in this ancient town, including the Monastery (Arabic: Ad Deir), this structure was carved out of a sandstone rock face.
The walk from Al-Khazneh (Treasury) to the center of Petra leads first through the narrow Outer Siq. Where the gorge widens, high tomb facades carved out of the rock on the left side stand next to each other like a row of mansions, for which this part is dubbed Street of Facades.
