Description

Take a tour bus from Tel Aviv to the southern border, then cross and start your adventure in the vibrant alleys of Aqaba, leading to Mamluk Castle.

From there, get ready for a thrilling Jeep tour through the awe-inspiring Wadi Rum, a desert wilderness that's known as the 'Valley of the Moon'. The landscape is otherworldly, with rock formations that will make you feel like you're on the set of 'Star Wars' or 'Lawrence of Arabia' (both were filmed here).

After spending the night in luxurious Bedouin Glamping, you'll head down the Desert Highway, where you'll be treated to the breathtaking desert and mountain scenery before reaching Petra. Upon arrival, you'll have the option to explore the Lost Nabatean capital on foot or on horseback. The archaeological site, dating back around 2,300 years, boasts remarkable structures carved out of the red-hued rock cliffs. Traverse through the stunning Siq, a smooth gorge that leads all the way to the famous Petra Treasury adorned with intricate decorations. Take in the captivating Obelisk Tomb, Petra Theater, and marvel at the intricately decorated shrines while strolling down the ancient colonnaded street. Learn about forgotten times and capture unique pictures to remember your trip. Conclude your day with a relaxing ride back to your drop-off point in Tel Aviv.
