Petra & Wadi Rum 2 Day Tour from Tel Aviv
Our two day Petra and Wadi Rum Tour from Tel Aviv (or Jerusalem or Haifa) is a great value way to enjoy the highlights of Jordan. Departing from Tel Aviv and transferring to Eilat, you’ll cross into Jordan, and head to Petra. You’ll be blown away and transferred into a different world as you tour the amazing city of Petra, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, a place that time has forgotten and the feats of mankind have been proven by. After reflecting on this incredible site with lunch at an authentic Jordanian restaurant, you’ll move on, staying overnight in a Bedouin campsite in Wadi Rum, and enjoying the authentic famous hospitality that the desert nomads have to offer. The following morning, the sunrise will breathe light onto this amazing desert landscape, which you’ll then explore with a jeep safari tour. Heading back south, you’ll visit Aqaba’s markets, and then free time to relax in Eilat and see some of its highlights if the schedule allows. You’ll arrive back in Tel Aviv that evening, having had a two day tour to Petra and Wadi Rum that you’ll never forget.
This tour will continue to operate in 2017 with no need to pre-arrange a Jordanian visa
