Petra by Bus and Boat from Sharm El Sheikh
Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt
Trip Type: Day Trips
Duration: 22 hours
What an amazing trip this is. Petra has been described as the city that was lost to the world for 1000 years. Truly a most unusual place and has to be seen to be believed. The Royal tomb, the great treasury, the Roman theatre to name just a few of the places that you will see. The film starring Harrison Ford was filmed there "Raiders of the lost Ark". An early start to the day and also a late finish but worth every minute.
