Overview

The Petra 2-Day Tour from Tel Aviv with Flights by Bein Harim is the most comfortable and time-efficient way to experience Jordan’s most famous archaeological treasure. By including roundtrip flights between Tel Aviv and Eilat, this premium itinerary removes long overnight bus journeys and replaces them with a relaxed, well-paced two-day experience focused on depth, comfort, and discovery.

This tour is ideal for travelers who want to explore Petra thoroughly while minimizing fatigue and maximizing time on site.

Day 1: Flight South and Crossing into Jordan

The journey begins with a morning flight from Tel Aviv to Eilat. This short domestic flight dramatically reduces travel time and allows guests to start the adventure refreshed rather than exhausted.

After landing in Eilat, the group transfers directly to the Jordanian border. Tour staff guide guests through passport and entry procedures, keeping the process as smooth and organized as possible.

Once across the border, the group continues by vehicle toward Petra. During the drive, the guide provides:

• Background on Petra and the Nabatean civilization
• An overview of the two-day itinerary
• Practical tips for walking and pacing inside the site

Guided Exploration of Petra

Upon arrival, the Petra visit begins with the iconic walk through the Siq, a narrow canyon flanked by towering rock walls. This dramatic approach gradually builds anticipation as the path leads into the heart of the ancient city.

At the end of the Siq, guests reach the Treasury (Al-Khazneh), Petra’s most recognizable monument. The guide explains:

• How Petra was carved directly into the sandstone cliffs
• The architectural and cultural significance of the Treasury
• Petra’s role as a major trading hub in the ancient world

The guided tour continues further into the archaeological area, introducing additional ruins and helping guests understand the scale and complexity of the city. The pace is relaxed, with time for photos, questions, and rest.

Overnight Stay Near Petra

After a full day of exploration, guests check into a hotel near Petra for an overnight stay. This overnight accommodation is one of the biggest advantages of the two-day format.

Benefits include:

• Time to rest and recover
• No late-night travel
• A more enjoyable and unrushed second day

Dinner and rest prepare guests for further exploration the next morning.

Day 2: Deeper Exploration and Return

The second day allows for continued exploration of Petra at a slower pace. Guests may revisit key areas, explore sections they missed the previous day, or simply enjoy the site without time pressure.

This added time offers:

• Better photo opportunities
• A deeper appreciation of Petra’s layout and details
• Freedom to move at a comfortable pace

After completing the visit, the group returns toward Eilat, crosses back into Israel, and boards a flight back to Tel Aviv, arriving later that day.

Physical Considerations

While walking is required, the two-day format makes the experience far more manageable.

Expect:

• Moderate walking spread over two days
• Uneven stone paths
• Regular opportunities to rest

This tour suits travelers who want depth without exhaustion.

• Bring a valid passport
• Wear sturdy walking shoes
