Itinerary and highlights

Begin your day with an early rise and embark on a full day of adventure. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the changing landscape as our spacious tour bus takes you from Jerusalem to the beautiful south of Israel.

Cross the Israeli-Jordanian border and embark on a 2.5-hour drive through a unique landscape to the lost Nabatean city of Petra.

The city of Petra was carved into the surrounding red cliffs over 2,300 years ago, and many of its impressive temples were left pristine and untouched.

Take in the mystery of the Djinn Blocks, where you can make a wish by touching the stone.

Capture great shots of the Obelisk Tomb and continue down the Siq, a colorful and smooth gorge leading to the famous Petra Treasury.

Here, be awestruck by the amazing huge columns and intricate decorations that will leave you speechless.

Visit the Royal Tombs and Petra Theater, and explore the many shrines, mausoleums, and relics of a lost culture.

After 3-4 hours in Petra, you'll finish your day with a relaxing ride back to your drop-off point in Jerusalem as you see more of the beautiful desert landscape.
