The 15 Best Petra & Wadi Rum Trips from Israel

22 tours  ·  from $215

Crossing into Jordan takes a border post, a visa and an early alarm, which is why these run as organised trips. The 15 below compare the one-day Petra dashes out of Eilat with the two- and three-day runs that add Wadi Rum, on price and how much of it is driving.

4.Day Tour to Petra by Bus from Tel Aviv

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 149 reviews · from $299

Leave Tel Aviv at 2:00 a.m. for Petra by air-conditioned bus, crossing through Eilat with border assistance. A Jordanian guide, often Kareem or Adnan, leads you through the rock-cut city before the long return trip. Plan for roughly 24 hours door to door, not a leisurely day out.

“Great time; Petra is amazing. Kareem was an amazing tour guide. just know what you are getting yourself into - it is a very long day (25 hours from when we left our hotel to get the bus until we returned to our hotel); and the 3 mile walk in the summer heat is hard. But - it is worth it!!!”

7.Day tour to Petra from Jerusalem

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

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.”
