Exploring Petra is an enchanting and unforgettable adventure, achievable in a single day with this Petra tour from Eilat. As one of the Seven Wonders of the World and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Petra is a must-see treasure when visiting Jordan. The Petra 1-day tour from Eilat includes all transportation, guiding, a snack box, and a water bottle.
The journey begins with a pickup from Eilat, heading towards the border between Israel and Jordan. With full assistance, cross the border (note that visa and border fees are not included in the tour price). Once in Jordan, travel past the breathtaking Wadi Rum desert landscape on the way to Petra. With an experienced and English-speaking guide, enjoy a guided tour throughout the protected park. Enter through the Siq, a long and narrow passageway at the entrance, filled with unique details including carvings and shrines. Discover the history of the “lost city” of the Nabateans by visiting historic and ancient sites like the Treasury, Obelisk Tomb, Jabal Madbach (the sacrificial palace), Roman Theater, and Mountaintop Tombs. After two hours of guided exploration, enjoy time to discover Petra at your own pace, taking the opportunity to explore leisurely and admire the beauty. Later in the afternoon, it will be time to return to the border, passing by Wadi Rum again for a quick view before arriving at the border and crossing back into Eilat. This Petra day tour can also start or end in Tel Aviv or Jerusalem. The tour price includes $130 USD worth of entry fees!
