5.00Its an amazing opportunity to see another country in a short space of time. You need stamina that might dwindle at the end, as it is a pick up 00.45 and you return roughly the same time. Petra was awesome. And the English speaking guide Eddy was cheerful and informative. I was worried about the walk to the treasury and back as a middle aged lady with knee problems. But i made it ok. The walk is around 45 minutes each way and is uphill coming back. Go me! There are golf carts and horses if you don't prefer to walk. The bus stops for toilet breaks and you can browse the bazaars and buy snacks. The ferry ride is great and you get the fresh sea air and views approaching Jordan. Two things I didn't like. Firstly the immigration and customs process (particularly coming back into Egypt) was slow. You feel it at the end of a long day standing forever in a massive queue. Secondly the coach drops you off at the end point in Sharm el Sheikh and you get in a minibus to continue the final hotel drops, this transfer went smoothly, however the minibus driver had his phone in one hand and a piece of paper in the other whilst driving he was on his phone the whole time!

5.00Great experience and memories. Definetly worth the expense. Get plenty of rest before you begin your journey and 1 am pick up. Physically challenging (62 yr.old female) however thank God I survived. 😀🙏🏾 Alot of movement charter bus & ferry. Stay sober and vigilant. I walked to and fro the Siq and ampitheater took great photos. The lunch stop restaurant food was delicious be sure to try the lentil soup. Beverages arent included in the meal. Outstanding overall experience.

4.00Petra itself is incredible and well worth the trip. Seemed to be quite a lot of waiting around and the food inc was cold and not the best. The guides were very informative and helpful.

5.00If you're in Sharm el Sheikh and like to explore, this is a must. It's a long journey but you are looked after all the way in both countries. Petra is breathtaking and so worth the journey

3.00Petra itself is amazing, but the ride is time-consuming and too tiring, and everything is wrapped up, it ends up tired more ........
