Overview
Our 3-day tour to Petra and Wadi Rum from Tel Aviv or Jerusalem is the perfect tour for those who want an in-depth exploration of the highlights of Jordan. You will start your day with an early pickup from Jerusalem or Tel Aviv, and make your way to Eilat through the beautiful scenery of the Israeli desert. Our tours leave earlier in order to be the first at the border to beat the crowds. After crossing into Jordan fully aided by our assistant, you will start the day in Aqaba, exploring the city market before heading to Wadi Rum to check into your Bedouin Campsite accommodation. Enjoy time to relax and unwind or explore the area before heading out on an afternoon Jeep Safari tour through the desert landscape. Stay overnight at the Bedouin campsite and enjoy a traditional Bedouin dinner. The following morning you will be touring Petra guided by an experienced and licensed tour guide. The evening and the following day are for independent exploration: enjoy at leisure all the marvels of one of the Seven Wonders of the World. After this, head back to Israel and ending your tour in Eilat, then continue onto Jerusalem or Tel Aviv, with endless memories of Jordan.
