About
Visit Petra — one of the Seven New Wonders of the World — on a full-day tour from Jerusalem. Travel south to Eilat, cross the Arava border, and spend the day exploring the 2,300-year-old Nabatean city carved from rose-red rock. Includes transport, Jordanian guide, entrance fees, and lunch. Departs daily.
Petra — the rose-red city half as old as time — is within reach of Jerusalem on this full-day adventure. Your air-conditioned bus heads south through the Negev Desert to Eilat, then crosses the Arava border into Jordan. The 2.5-hour drive through dramatic Jordanian desert and mountain scenery builds anticipation before you enter Petra through the legendary Siq gorge — a 1.2-kilometer serpentine passage between towering cliffs that suddenly opens to reveal the magnificent Treasury. Your Jordanian guide leads you through 3,000 years of history: the Obelisk Tomb, Djinn Blocks, Nabatean Theater (seating 2,000), Royal Tombs, and the Colonnaded Street of the ancient city. Lunch is included at an authentic local restaurant. Return to Jerusalem in the evening. Departs every day in English and Spanish.
