Description

Take an unforgettable 3-day tour from Tel Aviv. Your adventure will start with a short flight south, followed by a smooth border crossing into the Kingdom of Jordan. Then you'll walk through the vibrant alleys of Aqaba before progressing to the Mamluk Castle, a 16th-century fortress that presents an awe-inspiring panoramic vista of Israel, Egypt, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia all in one breathtaking sweep. Leisure time awaits, offering beach activities like snorkeling and boating, or a great time at a splendid private beach area with a pool and Jacuzzi. Next, you'll go on an exhilarating Jeep expedition through the mesmerizing expanse of Wadi Rum, a desert wilderness renowned as the 'Valley of the Moon'. The landscape is otherworldly, featuring rock formations that transport you into scenes reminiscent of 'Star Wars' (both 'The Rise of Skywalker' and 'Rogue One' were filmed here) and 'Lawrence of Arabia'. Your journey will uncover iconic sites such as the Seven Pillars of Wisdom rock formation, and the Jeep Safari culminates with an unforgettable sunset over Wadi Rum. Following a night of luxurious Bedouin Glamping, your path winds along the Desert Highway, treating you to breathtaking vistas of desert and mountain panoramas before you arrive at Petra. Here, you can opt to enter the ancient Nabatean capital on foot or by horseback. This archaeological marvel dates back around 2,300 years, with its most remarkable structures hewn intricately from the red-tinged rock cliffs. Traverse the stunning Siq, a polished gorge that leads directly to the renowned Petra Treasury adorned with exquisite ornamentation. Explore the captivating Obelisk Tomb, and the Petra Theater, and be awestruck by the finely adorned shrines as you stroll along the ancient colonnaded avenue. After a night in a splendid hotel right next to the archaeological park, you'll enjoy an entire day of unhurried exploration within Petra. The crown jewel is the Petra Monastery, perched atop a nearby hill, gifting an extraordinary view along the way. Then, bear witness to the enchanting Petra Great Temple, boasting majestic columns and intricate embellishments. Visit the ancient Byzantine Church, delve into Qasr Al Bint Temple—rumored to be a palace constructed for the daughter of a biblical Pharaoh—and unveil the enigmatic Urn Tomb. Traverse towering cliffs, immerse in local lifestyles, and capture the breathtaking panorama of the entire site. Many visitors choose to conclude their day at the Petra Museum, delving into how these splendid relics have molded Nabatean culture across time. Return to Tel Aviv after a perfect trip!
