Take this incredible day tour from Eilat to Petra which starts with a 2.5-hour drive through the majestic, pristine desert landscape, past ruby mountain sceneries, and stunning views on our way to Petra.

The Nabataean culture carved the city of Petra right out of red-colored rock cliffs about 2,300 years ago. Nowadays, Petra is an untouched archaeological site; We pass obelisks and 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 incredible Petra Treasury looms up in front of us. The Treasury's facade is intricately decorated and carved with columns, statues, and a 3.35-meter-high urn.

The tour takes you to tombs that will make you feel like Indiana Jones, and other structures all carved out of the rosy rock cliffs. See the Palace Tomb spires over the ridge, decent to the ancient Petra Theater, and make a wish at the Djinn Blocks.

After 3-4 hours in Petra, we will head south toward Eilat, through the beautiful wilderness.
