Tour E

Day 1 – Eilat/Petra

Transfer from your Eilat Hotel or from the Eilat Airport to the Arava Border Crossing. Enter the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. Meet your driver and continue to the “hidden” city of Petra. Your local guide will take you on a tour into the “rose red” city beginning at the “Siq”, a winding canyon road. At the end of the passage you will see Petra’s most impressive monument, the Treasury, carved out of solid rock from the side of the mountain. Beyond the Treasury (made famous in the movie “Indiana Jones”), you will discover soaring temples, elaborate royal tombs, shrines, palaces, and even a theater. Your guide will explain the history, legends, myths and truths of this astonishing city. Lunch is included in Petra. Dinner and overnight at your hotel in Petra. (L.D)

Day 2- Petra/Wadi Rum/Eilat (Israel)

Meet your driver after breakfast and and continue to Wadi Rum for a jeep tour in the area that so inspired T.E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia). This enchanting desert is almost surreal with its distinctive beauty. Cross red sand dunes and explore the beautifully eroded pillars of sandstone rock known as “The Seven Pillars”. Enjoy lunch in an authentic Bedoin Tent! Continue to the border crossing at Arava for re-entry into Israel (Eilat); you’ll be met by our representative Eco Tours, and transferred to your Eilat hotel or the Eilat airport (B.L)
