Two-day excursion to Petra from Jerusalem

Overview

Depart from Jerusalem for a two-day guided journey to discover the treasures of Jordan. This tour takes you to the ancient city of Petra, one of the seven wonders of the world, surrounded by spectacular desert landscapes. The stay includes an immersion into local culture with accommodation in a Bedouin-style camp and the tasting of traditional cuisine. You will be accompanied by a guide from your entry into Jordan until your return. The offer includes transport in an air-conditioned vehicle, entrance fees to the sites, as well as breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
