“A rose-red city half as old as time,” in the words of the British poet John William Burgon, Petra has appeared in many films and TV shows, most famously Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
Its desert location makes Petra hard to reach for independent travelers, which is why we designed this one-day tour from Israel. Our driver picks you up in time for an early-morning flight to Eilat, where our guide meets you and takes you across to the Jordanian side.
