Jordan - Petra

It is not so complicated to go in Jordan from Egypt. 

How to go in Jordan from Egypt? You can go from Nuweiba, by having a ferry boat that will arrive in Taba (in Jordan). The price for this travel is around 70 US dollars and the duration around 2 hours and a half. The ferry shop is very clean, and for those who are worried about their seasick….the ferry boat is very big, so there is scarcely any turbulence!

You don’t need any Visa, everything is going to be done at the border (as for us, we had just the students Visa for Egypt). You just have to pay entering fees…

What we planned to do was visiting Petra, one of the seven world wonder. So to go in Petra from Taba, you can easily find a taxi…but you will have to negotiate the price! (2 hours for the trip in Taxi).

Petra, meaning rock, is a historical and archaeological city that is known for its rock cut architecture  and water conduits system. UNESCO has described it as "one of the most precious cultural properties of man's cultural heritage." Petra was chosen by the BBCas one of "the 40 places you have to see before you die". 

That’s why we have to see this history heritage, and please if you are around there, have some time to visit the site. Tickets are 50 Jordan Dinar, it is expensive but the ticket is available 3 days (the site is very big).

But be careful to book a hostel before, because it is a huge touristic place!

Petra is not the capital. Amman is, but let me tell you that it is useless to go there….we went there 2 days, and there is nothing to see!!
