Full description
Rise and shine early for a day filled with adventure! Our modern tour bus departs from Jerusalem, offering breathtaking views as we journey south. The landscape transforms as the sun ascends, revealing the stunning Red Sea and the vibrant city of Eilat.
We'll then cross the Israeli-Jordanian border and embark on a 2.5-hour drive through a captivating landscape, leading us to the ancient Nabatean city of Petra – a true wonder of the world. Carved into the vibrant red cliffs over two millennia ago, Petra boasts remarkably preserved temples and awe-inspiring architecture.
Marvel at the Djinn Blocks, make a wish as you touch the stone, and capture incredible photos of the Obelisk Tomb. Venture down the multicolored Siq, a smooth canyon that leads to the renowned Petra Treasury, adorned with massive columns and intricate designs.
Explore the Royal Tombs, Petra Theater, and the remnants of this captivating lost culture. Conclude your day with a return journey to Jerusalem.
Rest assured, our team will handle visa requirements and border crossings for a stress-free experience. You'll meet our knowledgeable local guide on the Jordanian side of the border.
Please note that a 1-Day Petra tour may not provide ample time for a comprehensive exploration of this extraordinary archaeological site. Many travelers recommend a 2-Day Petra tour to visit Ad Deyr (the iconic Petra Monastery), Qasr Al-Bint Temple, and the Great Temple of Petra.
