Petra 1-Day Tour from Tel Aviv with Flights

Tour Overview

Your journey will start with a short flight from Ben Gurion Airport ,Tel Aviv to Ramon Airport, situated just on the outskirts of the city of Eilat. From there, you will make your way to Arava border where our representatives will assist you in obtaining your visa and crossing the border. Once on the Jordanian side of the border, our local tour guide will accompany you on the two-hour drive along the Desert Highway into the city of Petra and you will get to sit back and enjoy the awe-inspiring views of the desert and mountain scenery unfold before you. We will arrive at Petra and you will be given the option to continue the crossing by either foot or horseback. A city carved from the distinct red cliffs by the ancient Nabataean People over 2,300 years ago, Petra’s ancient beauty rises up and all around you in the form of the ornate tombs and striking temples as you make your way down the city’s colonnaded street. It is during this trek that you will catch a glimpse of the dominating Treasury, Petra’s most ornate tomb, and Deir Monastery, which is elevated 40 meters above you. As we make our journey back, there are a number of observation points overlooking Wadi Rum, known as “The Valley of the Moon” and if time permits, we may be lucky enough to enjoy a short but spectacular tour of Aqaba, Jordan’s Red Sea Port. This concludes our tour, and you will make your way back to Ramon Airport for your flight back to Tel Aviv after having spent a day fully immersed in all the ancient beauty that Petra has to offer.

Itinerary

The Petra tour starts from Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport to Ramon Airport, located near the city of Eilat. Although the flight is included in the final price of the tour, you will be responsible for making your own way to Ben Gurion Airport. You will be transferred from Ramon Airport to the Arava border crossing and it is here that our representatives will be able to assist you with the border crossing process and you will make your way across to Jordan. Our local tour guide will welcome you into Jordan and accompany you through the Desert Highway to Petra. Once you arrive, you will enter the city by choice of foot or horseback and be make your way through the Siq, a narrow passageway through the towering rock face, and the main entrance to Petra. Often called The Rose City, the Nabataean people sculpted the city of Petra right out of the region’s distinct red cliffs over 2,000 years ago. One of the first sights to catch your eyes will be the Treasury, a majestic tomb carved deep into the rock face with intricate detail. With its unforgettable columns and sculptures, you may already know it from the film Indiana Jones. Our tour continues down Petra’s ancient colonnaded street which is lined with more tombs and temples sculpted right from the cliff faces all around. Despite being a desert city surrounded by domineering mountaintops and canyons, Petra was once the center of Nabataean civilization. Thanks to the unique way that they collected water, this metropolis was considered an important trading stop between the Arabian Peninsula and Mediterranean world. Having spent the day immersed in the ancient beauty of Petra, you will end your tour with one last crossing of the dramatic desert highway to Eilat before boarding your flight back to Tel Aviv.
