1 day Petra Tour

 A Daily English tour Departure from Eilat at 07:00.

The ancient city of Petra – the "treasure of Jordan" – is one of  the seven wonders of the world.  It is located  two hours drive north of Aqaba.

Petra is an inheritance that has been left by the Nabataens who were brave  warriors and industrious scabblers settled in southern Jordan more than 2000 years ago.  Petra's peculiarity is its wonderful location, in the heart of the desert.  The city is located in the mountains  which depending on time of the day take a dye into pink, dark red, purple or orange. From the main entrance  the visitors will pass between the precipitous cliffs through the awesome Siq, a huge crack in the sandstone 1,2 km. long.

The most famous Petra's monument – the Treasury – is the completion of the Siq. In addition, hundreds of building, facades, crypts, baths, mourning halls, temples, and, off course, the roman  theater of  three thousand seats built in the 1-st century BC, are of great interest.

After visiting Petra you will have lunch at a local restaurant with an extensive selection of oriental dishes.
