Overview

This petra tour from tel aviv by flight swaps the long desert drive for a short domestic flight, so you reach Jordan fresh and ready to explore. You fly south to Ramon Airport, cross the border near Eilat, spend the day in Petra with a guide and lunch, then rest overnight in an Eilat hotel before flying back the next day. Flights, the hotel night, border transfers, entrance fees and a short horse ride are all included.

On day 1 you land at Ramon Airport, are taken to the border and drive about two and a half hours on the Desert Highway to Petra. A guided walk leads you through the Siq to the Treasury, the theater and the royal tombs, followed by lunch at a local restaurant. On the way back you stop at viewpoints over the Wadi Rum landscape and take a short panoramic tour of Aqaba before crossing into Israel for your night in Eilat. Day 2 is yours until your flight back to Tel Aviv.

It suits travelers based in Tel Aviv who want to see Petra without a very long day on the road. Flying both ways and sleeping in Eilat turns a draining marathon into two relaxed days, and you can stretch your time in Eilat on day 2 by choosing a later flight. If you are comparing options, this Petra tour from Tel Aviv by flight is the most comfortable way to fit Petra into a short stay in Israel.

Your trip starts with the flight from Tel Aviv, and our team meets you at Ramon Airport. Choose a 3-star, 4-star or 5-star hotel in Eilat with breakfast, per person in a double room for 2 or more travelers or a single room if you travel solo. A lower child rate applies on the double room options, and the booking form shows the exact price for your hotel level and number of travelers. The tour departs on set days, so check the calendar for open dates. It is non-refundable because the flights and hotel are pre-paid. Prefer to go by road?
