We have one day port stop in Aqaba and are hiring a taxi to take us to Petra for the day. Official Petra website seems to indicate entrance fee for one day visit for someone not staying overnight in Jordan is 90 JOD but several blogs seem to indicate entrance is 50 JOD for cruise passengers. I'd appreciate some clarity from someone who has visited Petra on their own recently on a cruise port day.

Hi, we are booked on a cruise that departs from Europe, has one port day Sharm El Sheikh (Egypt) and then ends in Safaga (Egypt). From Safaga we go via road to Cairo for a few more days before flying back to Canada. Would we need single entry or multi entry visa for Egypt? I’ve heard Canadian may still be eligible for 72 hour cruise port exemption for Sharm and we can get away with just single entry visa but I would appreciate if experienced cruisers could confirm. Also if the last two stops of the cruise are both Egyptian, could this be considered just one entry as you don’t actually leave to go to another country in between? Appreciate the help!
