Overview

This private Petra tour from Eilat gives you your own guide, your own pace and a night in a hotel at Petra, so you see the Rose City without a big group around you. You are picked up at your Eilat hotel in the morning and helped across the border, then guided through Petra, with a second day to go back in on your own before a photo stop over Wadi Rum.

Day 1 starts with pickup in Eilat at around 08:00, the Arava border crossing and the drive to Petra, where your private touring day begins at about 10:30. After a late lunch at a local restaurant you check in to your hotel and have the evening free. On day 2 you have the day to explore Petra or the nearby markets, then at 16:30 you drive to a Wadi Rum lookout, pass through Aqaba and reach the border at around 19:00.

This is the right choice for couples, families and small groups who want a guide focused only on them, travelers who walk slower or faster than the average group, and photographers who want time at each spot. A private Petra tour from Eilat over two days also avoids the long same-day return, so you are not watching the clock while you explore.

Pickup is from hotels in Eilat. Choose a 3-star, 4-star or 5-star hotel for your night at Petra, priced per person in a double room for 2 or more travelers or as a single room if you travel solo. Children pay a lower child rate, and the booking form shows the exact price for your hotel level and travelers. The Jordan visa and border fees are not included. Because the hotel night is pre-paid, this private Petra tour from Eilat is non-refundable. Prefer a group trip?
