The charming land of Egypt is a great place to explore. With the numerous locations this place may offer, you drown with the number of captivating sight your eyes will catch. Most of their time may be spend on travesing the Nile River enjoying the attractions related to the Phraonic Egypt, or most spend their time on a pleasurable trip in a resort near the Red Sea Coastal area. 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. A visit to Jordan is relatively easy for any visitor; you can even fully explore the place within one 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.

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!
