Day tour to Petra from Eilat

After pick-up you will pass the border and be on route towards Petra passing through the Wadi Rum. Your guide will tell you about the history of Jordan and its culture, as well as the background of the remarkable sights you will see during your trip. The Wadi Rum is where TE Lawrence was based during the Arab revolt and the epic movie about him 'Lawrence of Arabia' was filmed here. After arriving at Petra’s entrance, you will walk to the Siq Canyon together with your guide.
On route into Petra you will discover the first points of interest, such as the Silica Quarries, the Jinn Blocks and the first large site of the ‘Obelisk Tomb’. Within the Siq Canyon itself you will find several deities and ancient carvings adorning its towering canyon walls. As the canyon ends you will see Petra's most renowned and astonishing monument called the Treasury (Khazneh). After you will see the impressive Street of Facades towards the Nabataean Theater and also get an impression of some of the most famous burial sites like the Royal Tombs.
Next you will have lunch at an authentic Jordanian restaurant in Wadi Mussa, before heading back to Eilat. On route you will enjoy the sunset over Wadi Rum and if you will have enough time you will also have the chance to briefly stop at Aqaba’s colorful Arabian market (souq).
