Full description
Embark on our incredible Petra tour from Eilat, commencing with a 2.5-hour drive through the majestic desert landscape, offering breathtaking vistas along the way to Petra.
The Nabataean culture carved this city directly from the vibrant red cliffs over two millennia ago, leaving Petra an untouched archaeological wonder. You'll traverse the Siq, a narrow gorge flanked by towering rock formations, leading you to the awe-inspiring Petra Treasury, adorned with intricate carvings, columns, statues, and a 3.35-meter-high urn.
Explore tombs reminiscent of Indiana Jones, and discover structures skillfully etched into the rosy rock cliffs. Witness the Palace Tomb spires, descend to the ancient Petra Theater, and make a wish at the Djinn Blocks.
After spending 3-4 hours in Petra, we'll journey south toward Eilat, passing through the stunning wilderness.
Enjoy a Worry-Free Vacation: Our tour begins with a transfer from Eilat to the Arava border, where our representatives will meet you, assist with visa formalities, and guide you through the border crossing. On the Jordanian side, our expert local tour guide will join you, marking the start of your adventure.
Please note that a 1-Day Tour of Petra may not provide enough time to fully explore this remarkable archaeological site. Most travelers recommend the 2-Day Tour to Petra, which includes a visit to Ad Deyr, the iconic Petra Monastery, Qasr Al-Bint Temple, and the Great Temple of Petra.
