Set your expectations and enjoy!
Very worth it if you are able to withstand the long journey and know what to expect. The tour was a series of well organized and efficient transportation, very knowledgeable guide, good lunch stop and of course the amazing world heritage site of Petra. —>Things to expect: a full 24 hour journey with pickup in the middle of the night with exact time confirmed about 12 hours before, return in the middle of the night, multiple vehicle transfers, multiple passport and security checks, long lines, waves on the sea. Bring enough food and water for yourself to eat between stops. A neck pillow for the van/bus, sweatshirt and nausea medicine if you need it. Each leg is about 1-2hrs between stops, probably 5 each way. One mile walk from Petra ticket station to the treasury, plus return walk. You can pay for a golf cart or a horse if you can’t walk, around $20USD each way. There is food at the Petra visitor center and cafe at the treasury. You will mostly only have time to see the Treasury as the major attraction, as other parts of the ancient site are too far away from the main area to see during the short trip.

Great place to visit
Petra is beautiful and mystical, it will stay in my memory for a very long time. What made it even better was our guide, Kareem. Best guide I’ve ever had.

Petra day tour
A great trip with an extremely knowledgeable guide. Be prepared to be dropped at a "marina" in the middle of nowehere on the Egyptian side which leaves you feeling a bit apprehensive - all part of the experience. Sadly, we were "treated" to two 45 minute "rest stops" which were primraily aimed at selling us souvenirs, thereby reducing the time I would have rather spent at the end point in Petra. There was insufficient time to explore much past the Treasury and an extra 45 minutes would have made a huge difference. When booking, our agent advised the ticket price include a horse and cart to/from the Siq. However, these have been replaced by golf buggies, which charge $15 each way. The guide advised the tickets did include a horseback ride from the visitor center to the Siq, but we were required to give a $5-10 tip each way - hardly free, If I had to do it again, I would hire a car and go in a group,

This experience is 100%...
This experience is 100% worth it but it is not for the weak. You will be tired and you will most likely be hungry. You get picked up around 1am they then hand you all the paperwork you will need and you start your journey to the port to get on the ferry which was about 3 hours then you will go through security before getting on the boat which was about an hour ride after the boat ride you will go through security again and receive your visa to enter jordan which is included in this tour (no extra fee), after that you will meet with your guide which is based on language and get on another bus for about 3 hours they do stop twice one for a view and the other at a shop to get coffee, snacks, and souvenirs, once you arrive to petra they will split you up with your guides again according to language and you then start your journey its about an hour hike (very easy hike) and our guide Zaid was very knowledgeable and informative we loved him! After you get to the wonder itself he gives you about 20 minutes to see it for yourself then continues the tour down to see more of the city itslef which was only about another 10 minutes then you are free to explore for about 2 hours before needing to go back to the bus just remember its about an hour hike back but if needed a horse ride is included in your ticket you just have to tip the guy who brings you on the horse, once back on the bus they will bring you to a restaurant to have buffet style food (included) then you will begin your journey back. All in all it was a very organized and enjoyable trip for us no complaints just keep in mind its long and you may be tired so if thats not for you then i wouldn’t book. We loved it and always remember YOLO.

Petra Sightseeing 1 Day Tour From Sharm El Sheikh: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sharm el Sheikh.
How much does Petra Sightseeing 1 Day Tour 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 Petra Sightseeing 1 Day Tour From Sharm El Sheikh 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 Sightseeing 1 Day Tour From Sharm El Sheikh worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 41 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.9/5 across 29 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Sharm el Sheikh, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Petra Sightseeing 1 Day Tour From Sharm El Sheikh?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Petra Sightseeing 1 Day Tour From Sharm El Sheikh 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 Sightseeing 1 Day Tour From Sharm El Sheikh?
+
Around 10 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 Sightseeing 1 Day Tour 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.
