Safe and easy trip to view the Treasury from Sharm El Shiekh
We were a bit hesitant doing a day trip from one foreign country to another foreign country but I’m glad we did. Everything felt safe and easy. Our English-speaking guide was excellent and Jordanian immigration control had no delays other than the volume of people. Itinerary starts past midnight on a bus to the coast (about 4 hours drive). Then an hour on the ferry (not enough seats for everyone) to Jordan. Once through immigration control we were split into groups based on language and then driven to Petra. We stopped off for a toilet break and some mountains which are believed to hold the resting place of Prophet Harun (Peace Upon Him) which can be seen in the distance. Arrived in Petra for lunch (which was excellent) and then went to the main part of the trip to the Treasury. From the start of the Trek to the treasury is around hours walk and the guide will talk through the sites along the way. The Treasury is as breathtaking as you can imagine. One of our intentions was to have reference to the people of Thamud as the Treasury is one of a series of buildings in Petra that was built by the Nabateans who followed a pagan religion and were closely linked to the people of Thamud. They were renowned for their elaborate skill of carving into rocks You can go also go up to the top rocks near the treasury for an additional fee (around £10 Jordanian pp) to get the best shots. You can also get a buggy back to the top for same amount. The horses are not free as the bedions will claim as they expect a tip at the end. Worth noting that besides the treasury this there isn’t much else that’s really interesting that you can see in the time period. We had about 3 hours there before returning to the coach and repeating the journey home. There was a museum at the start of the Trek but no time to visit. Only negative was most of the group we travelled with were Russian who had no interest in respecting queues. You could be waiting for the toilet and they push in aggressively. Also on the Ferry they put bags on seats and refused to move them when asked so we had to sit on the floor. I appreciate this is no fault of the guide or company. I’m glad we did this trip from Sharm El Sheikh when closby to Petra as I think it would have been more difficult to pack into a separate trip had we been in Amaan Jordan. Would recommend if you want to see the Treasury specifically
Response from the operator: We sincerely appreciate your great review! We’re very happy to hear that you had such a positive experience. Knowing that our trips and team contributed to your memorable holiday means a lot to us. We hope to welcome you back again in the future

Petra Full Day Trip from Sharm El Sheikh with Lunch and Transfers: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sharm el Sheikh.
How much does Petra Full Day Trip from Sharm El Sheikh with Lunch and Transfers cost?
+
Prices start at $300 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 Petra Full Day Trip from Sharm El Sheikh with Lunch and Transfers take?
+
Plan for about 22 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 Petra Full Day Trip from Sharm El Sheikh with Lunch and Transfers worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 1 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 Petra Full Day Trip from Sharm El Sheikh with Lunch and Transfers?
+
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 Petra Full Day Trip from Sharm El Sheikh with Lunch and Transfers suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 22-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Petra Full Day Trip from Sharm El Sheikh with Lunch and Transfers?
+
Around 0 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 22-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Petra Full Day Trip from Sharm El Sheikh with Lunch and Transfers 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.
