Exceptional experience!
I absolutely recommend this to anyone staying in Sharm! Petra was stunning, exceeding my expectations. One of those places that pictures cannot capture the beauty. Our tour guides and transporting was organised, informative and went off without a hitch and we felt nothing but safe! I will add the caveat that this trip isn’t for the weak being 24 hours of non stop (if you’re unable to sleep on transport like myself). My advice would be to bring a neck pillow and eye mask and dress for comfort. That all being said worth every penny and a big check off my bucket list!

What an incredible...
What an incredible experience. If you get the guide Hussain you’ll be the luckiest people ever! Highly recommended

Petra is amazing, journey is arduous.
I did not enjoy the travel, it was long and painful for me as a big person, but seeing the sites definitely made it worth it. I do not regret and so happy that I had to option to do this.

Don't let the time or location put you off
Petra was actually more than expected, ive done many different tours and such as 'mts' its about very little time doing what you paid for and lots of time being hard sold goods for a kickback, this didn't appear on this trip advisor trip, almost 4 hours in petra itself, kept updated and informed along the way, plenty of toilet stops food was excellent too, drinks extra but you don't have to drink, our bus seemed to have a blowout (tyre) very professional, pulled over checked continued to restaurant (not far) while we ate the bus was being repaired, we had to wait maybe 15 minutes after lunch and the bus appeared, how he got it repaired in such a rural area at such speed as it was the inner wheel not external, anyway seemless and didn't affect the day or times in petra, extremely professional. Petra we saw so much more than I expected and had plenty of time with a choice of things to see after the guide has done his bit, don't forget to barter still for that onsite bargain, I may have saved a minimal amout buying elsewhere, but personally I like that I bought it absolutely there, and its literally pennies, i expected to get accosted plenty but apart from the horse riders pestering you continually to ride a horse there was little to no hassle, i did pyramids and valley of the kings last year + others and the pestering was unbearable in the end, but totally different this year. The bus back to ferry was also seamless but when docked in egypt, they knew what busses people should get on (about 100 plus people) we thought homeward bound obviously getting tired now, but 90 minutes in pulled over told 2 cars coming (he spoke no english) just barked 2 cars ? Theres 13 of us? then all the busses turned up, everyone randomly swapped vehicles drove another hour then the same again utter chaos we had 19 minutes till the hotel but then more joined us so doubled the time, the last driver had his phone to his ear and kept shouting what hotel to everyone over and over, doubling back when going past hotels, anyway, don't let that put you off it was frustrating but didn't spoil an otherwise great professional experience and in future my trips will be through trip advisor. Ps Jordan was so friendly had zero issues. So glad I did it ❤️❤️❤️👍🏻🙏

This was even better than seeing the pyramids. One of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen. I recommend it wholeheartedly. The guide was brilliant and spoke amazing English.

1 Day Tour to Petra From Sharm-el-Sheikh: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sharm el Sheikh.
How much does 1 Day Tour to Petra From Sharm-el-Sheikh cost?
+
Prices start at $320 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sharm el Sheikh usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 1 Day Tour to Petra From Sharm-el-Sheikh take?
+
Plan for about 24 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sharm el Sheikh is not rushed.
Is 1 Day Tour to Petra From Sharm-el-Sheikh worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 54 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sharm el Sheikh, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 1 Day Tour to Petra From Sharm-el-Sheikh?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 1 Day Tour to Petra From Sharm-el-Sheikh suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 24-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 1 Day Tour to Petra From Sharm-el-Sheikh?
+
Around 19 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sharm el Sheikh can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sharm el Sheikh and add a light layer if any part of the 24-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 1 Day Tour to Petra From Sharm-el-Sheikh start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sharm el Sheikh within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Sharm el Sheikh?
+
On Outty we rank every Sharm el Sheikh experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sharm El sheikh Safari ATV Quad with Camel Ride & hotel transfer, Sharm El Sheikh: Ras Mohammed Snorkeling, Allah Gate & Magic Lake, Sharm El-Sheikh: Ultimate ATV Quad, Stargazing & BBQ Dinner. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Sharm el Sheikh?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Sharm el Sheikh?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
