The tour itself so great, informative, and sights that make people go in « awe »when they see the pictures. The overnight in Wadi Rum is a must!!! I would like to thank out Petra guide and also the gentleman who helped us through the process of going into the Jordanian customs. They were really helpful.” – Caroline, Canada

Essential Information

Pickup from 4 centralized pickup points in Eilat in order to reduce pickup time, arrive at the border early and maximize time spent in Jordan.

Our tour departs as early as possible to ensure timely arrival to the border crossing. By arriving first this means a quick crossing procedure and more time spent in Petra.

From November to March, the standard overnight accommodation is a 3-star hotel in Aqaba, due to very low temperatures in Wadi Rum. For travelers who still wish to stay in the Bedouin camp, please notify our reservation team via email

Maximum of 25 passengers per group (in Petra). Please note that while in transportation, groups may be larger. We find that larger buses are more comfortable and accommodating.

This tour itinerary maximizes time spent both in Petra and Wadi Rum. Enjoy a full day in Wadi Rum including a Jeep Tour as the sun sets, and two days in Petra. One day in Petra is guided, and the second day allows for more freedom and exploration at your own pace.

Guided tours in other languages (Russian, Italian, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Hebrew, Romanian, Bulgarian) is available. Please contact us for pricing.

Please note, border fee is NOT included in the tour price and is paid directly at the border, in cash. Border fee is for departure tax from Israel, the departure tax for operated groups from Jordan, arrangement, and preparation of Jordan visa, assistance service from border representative on departure from Israel, assistance service from border representative on arrival in Jordan, and assistance service from border representative on departure from Jordan.

Israeli passport holders (or holders of dual passports with an Israeli passport) must use their Israeli passport at every border crossing.

We are able to arrange a visa for most nationalities (including USA, Canada, all European countries, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, Brazil, Singapore, Japan, China, India). Certain nationalities are required to arrange a visa in advance. Please contact us in case of questions.

Please note that during Ramadan the tour itinerary will change due to earlier closure of the border.
