Tour to Petra and Shobak 2 Days from Eilat Itinerary
Petra is also called the rose colored city, because of the rose color of the mountains. The mountains change color according to the time of day from red, to pink, and to orange. The famed Treasury is cut into the sandstone to create an enormous façade in the mountain. The amphitheater is most unusual because of the tombs visible between the seating. The city of Petra was once used as a refuge or sanctuary by kings and nobles.
Shobak is at the highest elevation in Jordan. The city is know n for their apple and fruit farms. Shobak is famous for its crusader castle the Montreal. It was built over a thousand years ago by Baldwin 1 of Jerusalem. There is not much left but the ruins, and a lot of history to go with it.
