Visitors to Israel who are based in Jerusalem can make a
side trip to Jordan. 1-2 day Petra and Jordan tours from Jerusalem cross into
Jordan from the Arava Border Crossing in Eilat. Arriving at Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport independently you will take a short flight to Eilat where you will be
met by a tour representative and transferred to the Arava Border Crossing then
continue on to Jordan.
There are one-day tours from Jerusalem to Petra that include
the Tel-Aviv to Eilat flight and a two-day tour to Petra that includes an
overnight stay and free day in Eilat or accommodation in Petra, Wadi Rum, or
Aqaba, Jordan.
On two-day tours, you can explore Petra and even experience a jeep
safari in Wadi Rum. With 1-2 day tours that do not include the Tel-Aviv to Eilat
flight, you have the option of purchasing the flight separately. 3-4 day Petra and Jordan tours from Jerusalem take a
different route. These tours include pick-up and drop-off services from your
Jerusalem hotel.
The tour proceeds across the Sheikh Hussein Border Crossing
and continues on to Jordan. The 3-4 day Jordan tours from Jerusalem include
overnight accommodation in Amman and at Wadi Musa near Petra. On these tours, you’ll see sites like Mt Nebo, Madaba, Jerash, and of course Petra.
All Petra and Jordan tours from Jerusalem include the
services of a professional tour guide; assistance with the border crossing and
air-conditioned transportation. The tours are available in several languages
and on most days of the week. Prices do not include border crossing fees and
visa fees.
Holders of some passports require a pre-arranged visa to enter
Jordan and other nationalities can be issued a visa at the border. For more
