Special offer for the coming 14 days only: book your day tour to Petra from Eilat for 219$ only!!! 
We take your passport details before the tour and arrange the visa for you. You receive it at the border on the day of your trip. The visa costs $60 for visitors to Petra and there is a further $65 charge for the border taxes and tips so the total border fee on the day is $125 (or $133 if paying by credit card). People spending two nights or more in Jordan get the Visa for free and since hotels are more comfortably priced than those in Eilat it's an option that a lot of our guests go for. Just one night in Jordan reduces the Petra Entrance fee by $60, so for most people it's definitely worth staying a night or two and taking in more of the sights. Of course you can arrange a visa in advance if you wish but you'll find it's cheaper and more convenient to simply do it through us.People who choose to spend a night in Aqaba before their tour will receive transportation right to their hotel, including help crossing the border.
Due to recent changes at the border we’d like to point out the following;
1) Visitors to Jordan for less than 2 nights now pay an additional $60 in visa fees, as a result we are currently advising our 1.5 and 2 day tour guests to add an additional night to their stay in Aqaba before the tour. The advantage of staying 2 nights include a free visa to Jordan, better hotel rates than in Eilat, reduced entrance fees to Petra and a comfortable transfer service included in the booking cost. All in all, this option offers the best value for money and saves about $120 on the visa and entrance fees to Petra.
2) People who wish to travel for a one day tour should consider the option of staying overnight in Petra (1.5 day tour below) and benefiting from the reduced Petra entrance fees for overnight visitors ($60 less). This option also gives visitors the opportunity to spend several more hours inside Petra exploring the site at their leisure.
Another option is spending the night before the 1 day tour in Aqaba, this means reduced entrance fees at Petra, better hotel rates than in Eilat and a more comfortable morning pick-up time at the start of the tour.

On our two day Petra and Wadi Rum tours, we spend a whole day exploring the highlights of the spectacular Wadi Rum (8 hours) in new, 4x4, air-conditioned vehicles driven by our local Bedouin English speaking staff. The ancient jeeps commonly used in the Rum by other companies are often driven by local youngsters and spend a maximum of 4 hours touring the Rum itself.
Private tours to Petra from Jerusalem or Tel Aviv: the Monastery
We encourage visitors to Petra to spend an additional night in Aqaba before their tour. Apart from the $60 savings at Petra, people staying two nights also get the $60 visa for free. On top of that hotels in Aqaba are cheaper than those in Eilat and the later morning pickup times mean guests get to enjoy breakfast in their hotel before the tour begins.
One day Petra tour From Eilat, Tel Aviv or Jerusalem
Since there is so much to see in Petra it is important we make good use of our time. The day before your tour, your passport details are sent to the border for the Visa lists, this saves us valuable time at the border crossing. You are collected around 7.00 to ensure we are amongst the first to arrive at the border crossing. Our staff will guide you efficiently through the border procedures, as you cross to Jordan your tour guide and tour staff will meet you. Here your Jordanian guide will take care of the border procedures and once the visas are issued we are on our way to Petra
Your tour is exclusively Desert Eco Tours. We operate daily tours in mini buses’ and places are limited ensuring our tours run smoothly and spend more time in Petra, approx 4 –5 hours.
Once aboard the mini bus, you will receive bottled mineral water. It is not permitted to take food or drink into Jordan from Israel.
You now begin the two-hour drive to Petra via Aqaba and the famous Wadi Rum. Your specialist guide will give you an in-depth briefing on the history of Jordan and its culture. As you reach the Wadi Rum area the red desert scenery is particularly striking and we take a moment to take in the remarkable views. This area was the base of TE Lawrence during the Arab revolt (Lawrence of Arabia). Nearing Petra we stop once more at a viewpoint overlooking the town of Wadi Musa (Moses Valley) and on a hilltop in the distance we can see the shrine, which marks the grave of Aaron, Moses’ brother.
From the visitors center at Petra’s entrance, we walk to the Siq Canyon. Horses are available for this walk but a tip is expected from the handlers ($5). We suggest participants walk with their guide to the Siq. On the route we see the ‘Silica Quarries’, The Jinn Blocks and the first large site the ‘Obelisk Tomb’. At the entrance to the Siq we see the stone damn that protects Petra from floods and the ancient drainage channels of the site. Entering the Siq we see the remains of the Arch that marked the entrance to Petra. We also see the beginning of the Petra’s ingenious water system that runs the whole length of the Siq. Within the Siq we find several deities and ancient carvings adorning its towering canyon walls. At the end of the Siq we find Petra’s most renowned monument, The Treasury (Khazneh). Here we take a few minutes for photographs before continuing our tour along the impressive Street of Facades towards the Nabataean Theater. We get an impression of some of the most impressive graves, the Royal Tombs. If time allows, we walk along the Colonnade Street and visit the Great Temple. From here we head back to the Siq canyon and Petra’s entrance. We take a late lunch at a restaurant in Wadi Mussa, remember that drinks are not included in the tour price (standard practice). Returning from here to Aqaba and Eilat, en route we see the sunset over Wadi Rum and stop briefly at Aqaba’s colorful Arabian market (souq). After getting an impression of Jordan’s only port city, we return to Eilat hotels by evening.
Note: El Deir (the Monastery), only on private tours due to limited time.

1.5 day tour to Petra & Wadi Rum
Two Day tour to Petra only form Israel: (Eilat, Tel Aviv or Jerusalem)
With optional Monastery and/or High place of Sacrifice and/or Aaron tomb.
We offer a range of two day tours that are entirely focused on Petra. The first option listed here is particularly popular with people who are keen to cover as much as they can of Petra's astonishing sites and to get the best from their tour budget. It is a more pocket friendly tour and is particularly appealing to the more outgoing and independent travelers. It allows visitors to get a more comprehensive view of Petra's legendary attractions that are not covered by the one-day tour and to see the sites that most appeal to them. The first part of the tour is with the daily group from Eilat and lead by the specialist tour guide that accompanies the tour. The rest of it spent exploring Petra independently, you have the chance to see all the major sites according to your preferences. Lunch at the main restaurant inside Petra is included and once the one-day tour heads back to Eilat you have the rest of the day to continue through Petra at your leisure. Time allowing you can choose to hike up to the Monastery but you must consult with your guide to ensure there is enough time, this depends on the time of year and whether the tour has run in good time on the day of your visit. After the first day exploring Petra you are driven to your hotel or Bedouin camp in the nearby Wadi Mousa.
With optional Monastery and/or High place of Sacrifice and/or Aaron tomb.
Day two is a full day touring Petra independently or with a local Bedouin scout (no guide); Our staff take you from your accommodation back to Petra and you spend the day exploring yet more of the major sites, you may choose to get a closer look at the Royal Tombs and the archeological ruins on the lower grounds, or for the more energetic the 'High Places' of El Deir (Monastery) and the High Place of Sacrifice are particularly popular, you should be aware that to cover both of these high sites on a single day requires an early start and a high level of physical fitness as each one requires a good uphill hiking ability and for most people one 'high place' is enough on a single day. Please advise our office in advance if you wish to see both sites on the same day so we can prepare the early transportation. Lunch is again included. And by afternoon you meet up with our tour staff and join the one day tour for the drive back to Eilat. The cost of a local scout to lead you on your route on the second day is $88 inclusive for the whole group. The local scout is generally a young person from the local village with limited English. Their role is simply to accompany the visitor and lead the way to the requested sites, don't expect a local scout to offer guide services or briefings about the places visited, he's just there to keep you on the right track. More details of our two day Petra tour options are available on request.
Price: $382 p.p, children under 12: $322

We leave the vehicle where the jeep trail ends and begin the half hour ascent to its summit on foot.
