Good afternoon. Petra is definitely worth a visit. If possible, book an Israel + Jordan tour for 2 days right away, it will be cheaper, but if you don’t plan to visit Israel, take a Jordan ferry, it is much more convenient than the same, but a bus tour (crossing the Israeli border). Other excursions - depending on preferences - Pharaoh Island (coral reef and fortress of Salah el Dina), Monastery of St. Catherine, Mount Moses, Regarding price and safety - a moot point. The safest, of course, is to book excursions with a tour operator, but it is also the most expensive. Local guides are always cheaper. Optimally - upon arrival, get to know those who have already bought excursions from locals and act on their reviews.

For your own peace of mind, it is safer, but more expensive for hotel guides.
Cheaper for everyone else.
Only St. Catherine is better from Sharma. From Taba by bus 4-5 hours drive.
Being in Taba, except for Israel, I would definitely go to Jordan.

From taba to St. Catherine is even closer than from Sharm.
Of course, it is better to take a combined tour of Israel and Jordan. For prices I wrote in a personal. Read reviews on the Internet and decide for yourself with whom it is more convenient for you to go.

At one time, I traveled from Sharm to Petra on my own. It is definitely a must to visit there. But I don’t even know if one day is enough for Petra. Two was not enough for me. Quite a large area, large elevation changes. If you walk cleanly through the central part, then 2-3 hours will be enough, but if everything is normal to look at and listen to, then in one daylight hours it is simply not realistic. Some places need to be photographed at sunset, others very early in the morning. Even in summer, day and night temperatures are quite different, this must also be taken into account.
And Israel is generally at least a separate active holiday.
Unless of course you need these trips not for show.
