Tour to Petra Jordan from Cairo Via Taba

Tour to Petra Jordan from Cairo Via Taba

A tour to Petra, Jordan, from Cairo via Taba offers a remarkable journey through some of the most breathtaking landscapes in the Middle East. The adventure begins with a scenic drive from Cairo to Taba, located on the Red Sea coast. This portion of the trip allows travelers to enjoy views of Egypt's desert landscapes and the serene waters of the Red Sea. The drive typically takes about 4 to 5 hours, and upon reaching Taba, travelers can take a ferry across the Gulf of Aqaba to the Jordanian port city of Aqaba. From there, the journey continues by road to Petra, a journey that adds a touch of adventure to the experience.

Arriving in Petra, visitors are immediately struck by the awe-inspiring beauty of this ancient Nabatean city, famously carved into the rose-red cliffs of southern Jordan. The entrance to Petra, known as the Siq, is a dramatic narrow gorge that leads to the heart of the city. As visitors walk through the Siq, the anticipation builds until they finally emerge at the Treasury, one of Petra’s most iconic and elaborately carved structures. This grand façade, etched into the sandstone cliffs, offers a stunning first impression of Petra’s architectural marvels.

Exploring Petra reveals a wealth of historical and architectural treasures beyond the Treasury. The site includes the impressive Roman-style theatre, the intricate royal tombs, and the Monastery, which requires a climb but rewards visitors with panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. Petra’s extensive network of pathways and steps showcases the ingenuity and artistry of the Nabateans, offering a comprehensive glimpse into the city’s rich past. The blend of natural beauty and human craftsmanship makes Petra a captivating destination.

After a full day of exploring Petra, the return journey involves retracing the steps: traveling from Petra back to Aqaba by road, then taking a ferry from Taba back to Egypt, and finally driving back to Cairo. This tour not only provides an unforgettable experience of one of the world’s most extraordinary archaeological sites but also offers a scenic and culturally enriching travel experience across the borders of Egypt and Jordan.
