This Petra tour from Aqaba Port takes cruise passengers to Jordan’s rock-cut Nabataean city in one private day. You walk through the narrow Siq to the Treasury, then on to the Roman-era theatre and the Royal Tombs, with lunch, a guide and an air-conditioned vehicle, from $240 per person.
Petra is about 125 km north of Aqaba, roughly 2 hours by road each way along the Desert Highway. Your guide meets you at the ship, and the time inside Petra depends on your ship’s hours in port. Wear comfortable walking shoes: the walk from the visitor centre through the Siq to the Treasury alone is about 2 km.
Yes. Your guide plans the day backwards from your ship’s all-aboard time, and we guarantee you will be back at Aqaba Port at least 2 hours before your ship departs. If we ever miss that, Egypt Day Tours takes full responsibility and pays for your hotel and your flight to the ship’s next port of call.
