PETRA & WADI RUM TOUR FROM JERUSALEM BY BUS, 2 DAYS
Experience the mesmerizing landscapes of the Middle East with our 2-Day tour from Jerusalem, taking you on an unforgettable journey through the stunning city of Petra – one of the Seven New Wonders of the World – and a thrilling jeep safari through the moon-like terrain of Wadi Rum.
Traveling south in a state-of-the-art bus, we’ll swiftly cross the border into the Kingdom of Jordan, where we’ll take a stroll through Aqaba’s picturesque alleys to Mamluk Castle – an Ottoman fort overlooking Aqaba Bay’s border nexus.
Get ready for an exhilarating jeep tour of Wadi Rum, a remarkable desert wilderness where several Star Wars movies were shot, providing the perfect opportunity to take some fantastic photos.
After a pampering stay in an authentic Bedouin camp, we’ll head for Petra, the fabulous city carved out of the red-hued desert cliffs 2,300 years ago. Explore its majestic mausoleums and shrines, starting with the breathtaking Petra Treasury. Discover the mysterious Djinn Blocks, explore the ancient Royal Tombs, learn about Nabatean history at the Petra Theater, and take unforgettable pictures of this UNESCO world heritage site.
Beginning in Aqaba, immerse yourself in the vibrant, colorful alleys before heading to Mamluk Castle – an imposing fortress dating back to the 16th century. From its vantage point, you’ll witness breathtaking panoramic views of Israel, Egypt, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia, all in one glance.
The adventure continues with a thrilling Jeep tour through the remarkable Wadi Rum, a desert wilderness often referred to as the “Valley of the Moon.” The otherworldly landscape is truly awe-inspiring and will have you feeling like you’re on a Star Wars movie set – in fact, “The Rise of Skywalker,” “Rogue One,” and “Lawrence of Arabia” were all filmed here.
