Full description

Start your tour with pickup at the David Citadel Hotel in Jerusalem. Then, drive through the desert in a comfortable vehicle until you reach the Arava Border. Cross the border with assistants, a procedure which may take up to an hour.  At 8:30 AM, transfer from the border to Petra in a new air-conditioned vehicle. This ride takes approximately 2-3 hours.  Enjoy the scenic route along the mountainside before arriving at Petra's historical site, known as one of the New7Wonders of the World.   At approximately 11:30 AM, begin your tour of Petra at the entrance to the site with a maximum group size of 25 people. Explore the highlights of this impressive site with your guide. Next, start your journey towards Aqaba at 4:30 PM. Make a few stops at certain observations points along the way to appreciate the beautiful landscapes that Wadi Rum has to offer. 

At 7:30 PM, return to the Israeli territory with the assistance of your guide and arrive back at the pickup location in Jerusalem by midnight.

I have to agree with the guide; a one day trip from Jerusalem or Tel Aviv is too short, it took 21 hours in total and we had only two hours to rush through Petra in order to make it back to the boarder before it became temporary closed due to the Ramadan. But good guides and an experience for life

Booking a one day tour to go see Petra is a tall order, so the value of what we got was to be expected. There were a lot of things I didn’t like, but they were more due to the time crunch than they were to problems with the actual tour. Given the context of the situation, the value is great! This is the main thing I will warn of: You WILL NOT be given an opportunity to really eat until almost 5 PM. This is insane to me because you start the day by being picked up at 3 AM. They do stop along the way, but the first few stops are so early that no food is available and the rest of the stops only have snacks, nothing with substance. They also only give you a short amount of time to eat at the stops and tell you that you can’t eat on the bus. Make sure to pack food. With that being said, our tour guide in Jordan was great and we had an unforgettable experience once we actually got to Petra. This one day tour is NOT for the faint of heart though.

Amamos la experiencia! Recontra recomendado ir a Jordania y a Petra. Toda la gente en Jordania fue demasiado amable, humilde y hospitalaria. Gracias, nuestro guía fue demasiado amable, conocedor de todos los detalles. Volveríamos pero a un tour más largo de 3 días o más.
