Petra and Cairo 3 Days from Eilat Itinerary

Petra is an inheritance that was left by the Nabateans over two thousand years ago. Petra was a refuge or sanctuary in ancient times. By entering what is called the Siq, a long passageway that is a crack between two mountains, get your first look at the Treasury, a facade carved in the mountain.  There is an amphitheater, where you can see the tombs sticking out in between the seating. There are crypts, statues, water cisterns, caves, and more. 

Cairo is the largest city in the Middle East, and the most populated.  It is home to the Egyptian Museum, with the largest collection of artifacts in the world today. They have masks from the pharaohs, statues, ancient coins, crypts, paintings, and much more.  The pyramids were built to house the dead pharaohs.  They designed many pathways to fool robbers.  The sphinx is one of the largest statues in the Middle East, with the body of a lion and the head of a man.
