Petra 1-Day Tour from Tel Aviv with Flights

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.
