Take this incredible Petra tour from Eilat which starts when you are picked up from your Eilat hotel and taken swiftly across the Arava Border into the Kingdom of Jordan. We take a 2.5-hour drive through the majestic, pristine desert landscape, past ruby mountain sceneries, and stunning vistas on our way to Petra.

The Nabataean people carved the city of Petra out of red-colored rock cliffs about 2,300 years ago. Today Petra is an untouched archaeological site; We pass obelisks and the cave tombs then enter Petra on foot or horseback via a long narrow gorge or “Siq” flanked by high rock cliffs. As we reach the end of the Siq the Treasury looms up in front of us. The Treasury façade is intricately decorated and carved with columns, statues, and a 3.35-meter-high urn. The tour takes you down Petra’s colonnaded street past temples, tombs, and other structures all carved out of the red rock cliffs.

Stop at the monumental El Deir Monastery created in the 1st century with a façade that’s 50 meters wide and 40 meters high. You’ll even see the Roman theatre built many years after the Nabataeans abandoned the city. After 3-3.5 hours in Petra, we will head south toward Eilat, through the beautiful wilderness.
