Overview

This private Petra tour from Tel Aviv fits one of the New Seven Wonders of the World into a single day, without the long drive south. You fly from Ben Gurion Airport to Ramon Airport near Eilat, cross into Jordan with your own driver, and explore the rose-red city of Petra on a guided tour before flying back to Tel Aviv the same day.

The day starts with an early flight at 06:30. After landing, your driver takes you to the Arava border, and once the crossing formalities are done you continue by road to Petra. Your guided visit follows the Siq to the Treasury and goes on to the Roman Theatre, the Royal Tombs and other rock-cut temples and tombs. Lunch is at a local restaurant, and in the late afternoon you head back to the border, Ramon Airport and your flight to Ben Gurion.

Because the tour is private, your group sets the pace instead of a full bus, which suits families, couples, friends traveling together and anyone who wants time for photos. Flying cuts out the long road trip from the center of Israel, so you get a proper visit to Petra and are still back in Tel Aviv at night. That makes this private Petra tour from Tel Aviv a smart choice when your time in Israel is short.

The price includes the round-trip flights, transfers in an air-conditioned vehicle and lunch. Choose the private group option, priced per person for 2 to 15 travelers with a lower child rate, or the solo option if you travel alone. The booking form shows the exact price. The Jordan visa and border fees are not included in the tour price. The tour departs on set days, so check the calendar for open dates. Because the flights are pre-paid, the private Petra tour from Tel Aviv is non-refundable. Compare our Petra day tour from Tel Aviv, the Petra 2 day tour from Tel Aviv or the Petra tour from Eilat.
