Long day but absolutely worth it! The tour operator was well organized. Everything was as described. Tour groups are large (full bus 40+ people). But guided visit groups are smaller as they separate by language. Petra is amazing. Bring some snacks and water, because the trip is long. They make sufficient stops for bathroom breaks and you can buy snacks. Definitely recommend it but it is somewhat exhausting.

Quick fire: Petra is a 7 wonder of the world and rightly so. It's vast in size, simply breathtaking and utterly beautiful. The photos, films and TV shows haven't overdone it, it's full of surprises! The tour was very well organised. Jordan: beautiful country, lovely people. Travelling in December was still great: 24C in Aqaba, 19C in Petra. 26ac in Sharm. All Sunny & dry. I felt safe & welcome from arriving. Egyptian side is different : also a fantastic country however be aware there is a notable security risk for tourists so the drive up from Sharm is relatively slow as we went through checkpoints and awaited a police escort on the highway. Reassuring, but slow. Customs / immigration to get out of Egypt and into Jordan is VERY slow. Almost frustratingly slow: and that's before the staff didn't turn up on time in Jordan to allow us back onto the catamaran and the scheduled departure to come back was missed by some 2 hours. This is quite common. So be prepared and be flexible and patient! The day therefore was a full 25 hours pick up to drop off and exhausting. Beware of this before you book so you're prepared. But my god it's worth it. The guides incl Zaid in Jordan were EXCELLENT. He guided the English speaking group and was SO good. Educational, entertaining and ensured we had a good 90 mins free time in Petra. Lunch - in a Jordanian restaurant in Wadi Musa was average but incl (except drinks). If at all possible, get yourself into Jordan first, stay in earby Wadi Musa, get to Petra when it opens and spend a full day there. Then the next day too. And maybe a third. Bring a packed lunch. It's an awesome place. Despite the situation over the border(s) southern Jordan is very safe and the people desperately need the tourists. Petra is also very quiet so gives us a much better experience.

Amazing opportunity to visit Petra from Egypt, which was stunning. Very long journey from Sharm El Sheik to Petra. Jordanian side of things very well organised with an engaging and amusing guide and comfort breaks built into the journey. Guide also provided a detailed background to Petra when we arrived. Egyptian travel side of things was a little more curt. When we were picked up our driver shouted at us for not meeting him outside the hotel and making them late when the tour operator had told us to meet them in the hotel reception. Which wasn’t the best start or customer service. However, the visit to Petra made the lengthy journey and brusk Egyptian service still worth it. Visit if you have the opportunity, was a great introduction to Jordan.
