If you are visiting Israel you have the unique opportunity to include Petra and Jordan in your itinerary. If you have limited time you can fit in a one day tour to Petra but there are also 2-4 day Petra and Jordan tours from Tel Aviv, Jerusalem or Eilat. Jordan and Israel share a border and the two countries have friendly relations so it is a simple process to cross the border for a visit.
The range of Petra and Jordan tours available include 1-2 day tours that leave from Eilat, Israel’s Red Sea resort city. To join a Petra tour leaving via Eilat and the Arava Border Crossing you will need to take a short flight from Tel Aviv’s Sde Dov Airport. Although you will need to reach the Tel Aviv Sde Dov Airport independently there are tours to Jordan that include the Tel-Aviv to Eilat flight and others where you can purchase the flight separately. The one day Petra tours from Tel Aviv, Jerusalem or Eilat return on the same day. 2 day tours can include an overnight stay in Eilat or Jordan and even a jeep safari in Wadi Rum.
3-4 day tour packages to Jordan include pick-up and drop-off service from your Tel Aviv or Jerusalem hotel and take you into Jordan via the Sheikh Hussein Border Crossing. These tours include accommodation in Jordan and visit Jordanian sites like Amman, Madaba and Mt Nebo as well as Petra.
On Petra and Jordan tours you are accompanied by a knowledgeable tour guide; travel in air-conditioned vehicles and have assistance at the border crossing. Tours are available in several languages. Visitors on Jordan tours require a valid passport and some nationalities require a prearranged entrance visa. For more information and any questions you might have contact our customer service staff.
