Petra Overday from Sharm El Sheikh
Pick up from your hotel in Sharm El Sheikh and drive to Taba Heights Marina, where you are met and assisted before boarding the ferry to the Aqaba Royal Yacht Club (around 1 hour 15 minutes). On arrival our representative and guides meet you. Passports remain with the immigration officer in Jordan and guests enter without delay, boarding buses and receiving a full briefing about Jordan during the drive. The visit to the ancient Nabatean capital begins at the Visitor Center, where you are assigned a Bedouin guide and a horse. The tour ends back at the entrance with a buffet lunch at the Movenpick Hotel, after which buses return you to Aqaba where our staff assist with departure procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a visa for Jordan?
Most Western and European passport holders receive a visa on arrival at Aqaba free of charge under the Aqaba Special Economic Zone rules. Some nationalities require a visa arranged in advance we confirm your specific requirements when you book.
Is my passport enough, or do I need an Egyptian visa?
Your valid passport is sufficient. If you are staying in Sharm El Sheikh under the Sinai free-zone stamp, a re-entry visa for Egypt may be required and is listed as an exclusion we will advise you based on your circumstances.
How much walking is there in Petra?
A lot. The Siq alone is over a kilometre, and a full visit easily covers several kilometres on uneven ground. Comfortable, supportive walking shoes are essential.
How far in advance must I book?
At least 72 hours. Ferry tickets and Jordanian entry formalities must be arranged in advance, and we need a clear copy of your passport photo page.
Is lunch included?
Yes, a buffet lunch at the Movenpick Hotel in Petra is included. Drinks and any extras at lunch are not included.
Is the horse ride included?
