Description

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. As the sun rises, witness the Arahav Valley and catch a glimpse of the Red Sea and the Riviera of Eilat, Israel's best resort city. Cross the Israeli-Jordanian border and embark on a 2.5-hour drive through a unique landscape to the lost Nabatean city of Petra - a destination considered one of the 7 New Wonders of the World. Carved into the surrounding red cliffs over 2,300 years ago, 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. Finish your day with a relaxing ride back to your drop-off point in Jerusalem.
