Petra and Jerash Tour from Tel Aviv: Route and Highlights

Day 1 starts early with a transfer from Tel Aviv or Jerusalem to the Sheikh Hussein crossing on the Jordan River. After the border you visit Jerash for about two hours, then drive south to Petra for dinner and the night. Day 2 is Petra day: about six hours with a horse ride, the Siq, the Treasury, the Roman Theatre and more, followed by the drive to Amman for dinner and a second night. On day 3 you tour Amman's Roman amphitheater and the Citadel, visit the Folklore Museum, see the mosaic map in Madaba and look out from Mount Nebo before returning to Israel in the evening.

Jerash in the north and Petra in the south are far apart, so three days is the comfortable way to see both from Israel. The tour suits history lovers, Bible readers who want to stand where Moses looked over the Promised Land, and travelers who prefer a guided package with hotels and dinners already arranged. With transport, guides and most meals covered, this Petra and Jerash tour from Tel Aviv keeps your costs predictable.

Departure is early in the morning from Tel Aviv or Jerusalem, and exact pickup details are confirmed after booking. Prices are per person in a double room for 2 or more travelers, with lower child and infant rates, or for a single room if you travel solo. You can upgrade both hotel nights to 4-star or 5-star on the booking form, which shows the exact price for your option and number of travelers. The tour departs on set days, so check the calendar for open dates. Because the hotel nights are pre-paid, this Petra and Jerash tour from Tel Aviv is non-refundable. Short on time?
