Every traveler want to maximize their stay in a new locations, especially locations as magnificent as Egypt. With the numerous sights Egypt has to offer, sailing Nile River to view historical landmarks related to the Pharoanic Egypt takes a week, or since you can only choose to stay near the Red Sea Coastal area, a relaxing time is another option you can select once you arrive in this destination. For example, one of the most frequently visited areas of the country of Jordan is near to the Egyptian border too. This is the site known as Petra or the Rose-Red City thanks to the color of the many sandstone rocks in the area.
Petra in Jordan is the world’s most well-preserved and impressive rock cut architecture, which is the reason that it is also the number one tourism attraction throughout all of Jordan. It is extremely easy for a traveler in Egypt to plan a visit to this part of Jordan, and a full exploration usually takes only a single day. Most travelers will depart from Cairo early in the morning and head to the Taba Heights port. They will take the daily ferry shuttle to the port of Aqaba (Jordan’s only port on the Red Sea) and head northward into the desert.
Because most daytrips from Egypt to Jordan are escorted, it is relatively easy to quickly reach the site in great comfort. Having access to a knowledgeable guide also adds to the value of the experience because the region is home to prehistoric sites as well as locations connected to more modern history too. For instance, the famous historic Englishman known as Lawrence of Arabia was based in this region, and some tours include horseback riding excursions into the Wadi Rum district which served as his base.
Most of the trusted tour companies provide their clients the chance to go on horseback in Siq or the canyon that will take you to the Petra site. This is a wonderful chance to really take in the impressive scenery before actually reaching the Treasury, the Monastery (El Deir) and the amphitheater too.
Opting for a guided tour will also usually include access to the popular Archeological Museum, a chance to take in the local market, and even a meal on the site. Most travelers can be back to their base area within a 24-hour period too!
