Our two-day journey starts early in Jerusalem or Tel Aviv as we cross into Jordan via the King Hussein (Allenby) Bridge and travel through the Judean Desert toward Petra. After lunch boxes en route, we arrive at Petra, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Entering through the Siq, we explore highlights such as the Treasury, Amphitheater, and Royal Tombs, with time to wander independently before heading to a nearby Bedouin camp.

In the evening, enjoy a traditional dinner, Bedouin hospitality, tea, and stargazing under the desert sky. After breakfast the next morning, we visit Madaba’s famous mosaic map and Mount Nebo, with views over the Jordan Valley and Dead Sea. After lunch, we return to Jerusalem and Tel Aviv via the Allenby Bridge, arriving in the afternoon.
