3.Day tour to Petra from Jerusalem

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 60 reviews · from $299Best value

Leave central Jerusalem at 3 a.m. for Petra, crossing into Jordan with tour assistance and riding air-conditioned vehicles through the desert. Visit the Treasury and temple with a local guide, enjoy free time, see Wadi Rum, and return the same day. Expect a long, tiring schedule and possible border delays.

“We thoroughly enjoyed the experience our guide, Mishkal - who was absolutely fantastic, there was too much "down time" in traveling from Jerusalem to Petra. The rest breaks were too long, too much wasted time at the border just going through administrative things that could have been avoided and just too much waiting around. It took us over 10 hours to get to Petra leaving us only a couple of hours to explore. I would not recommend this to anyone. We would have been much better off, even with a greater expense, in doing this privately.”
