1 Day Petra

 

Beyond the towering mountains and rock formations of Wadi Rum, which mesmerised Lawrence of Arabia, lies the Siq Canyon, where a short walk along a narrow winding passageway leads to the magnificent Rose Red City of Petra.

No site in Jordan captures the imagination as dramatically as the breathtaking Nabataean structures carved into the brilliantly coloured rocks which rise toward the skies in continually changing shades of red, orange and pink. Fly from Tel Aviv, Sde Dov Airport to Eilat and transfer to the Israel/Jordan Border and begin your Jordanian adventure travelling along the Kings Highway to Petra, passing Wadi Rum.

 

In Petra visit the Treasury and Amphitheatre whilst wandering around the ancient rock tombs and burial places, hearing the amazing story from your Jordanian guide before returning through the canyon for a buffet lunch (included).

 

After lunch drive south to Aqaba - Jordan’s only seaport - to gaze across the gulf whilst enjoying a short panoramic city tour before returning to Eilat for your return flight to Tel Aviv.
