エイラットからペトラの一日ツアー

We went on a day trip to Petra from Eilat in November 2025, travelling together. Departure was early, but the transfer arrived exactly in time, all the information was clear in advance. At the border with Jordan, they helped with the paperwork and explained the order of passage, so the process went smoothly, although it had to wait a little. In Petra, we were accompanied by a guide who talked interestingly about the history of the city and gave time for photographs. Especially memorable is the walk through Sik and the view of the Treasure - impressions are very strong. Itinerary is full, lots of walking, by evening you feel tired. We were generally happy with the trip and can recommend this tour to those who want to see Petra without too much worries in one day

We took Booking tours on a one-day excursion to Petra from Eilat in March 25, the two of us. The departure was early, the bus picked us up from the hotel on time, everything was explained in detail on the way. At the border, staff helped with paperwork and gave directions, so the process went smoothly, although the wait took time. The local guide talked interestingly and without being overburdened with facts, gave time just to walk and take a photo. The most impressive thing about passing through Sik and the treasure trove, in life it looks much stronger than in the photo. It took a lot of walking, tired by evening, but it was lunch, simple but normal. Overall, the tour is well organized.

This was very well organized by the tour provider.petra is amazing 1 day is not enough to see everything in detail still I'm happy with my experience they handled the logistics perfectly. Be careful if you eat or buy anything there since vendors will try to over charge you.

We traveled as a couple and chose Booking-Tours for a day trip to Petra from Eilat in October 2025. The departure was early, but the transfer arrived on time, the bus is comfortable, on the way they gave clear instructions. At the border with Jordan, the company's staff accompanied the team and told them where to go and what documents to show, so the process took a reasonable time and went without stress. In Petra, we were accompanied by a local guide who talked interestingly about the history of the city and took his time, leaving time for photographs. Most impressive was the walk through Sik and the view of the Treasure - it looks much more powerful live than in the photo. It took a lot of walking, by evening you feel tired, but the route is well thought out. Overall, the tour will be great for those who want to see Petra for the first time in one day - the organization was satisfied.

It was very hot, but Meqal, our guide, made it a fun day by telling with great enthusiasm. Anyway Petra is a must to have seen/done tr and an unforgettable experience!

Viator is a complete roll of the dice. Book at your own risk. After having a horrible experience with Viator In our previous booking for this exact Petra trip, when our operator ditched us and Viator refused to provide a refund, we hit the jackpot with this tour, which was wonderful from start to finish. We took our chances because Viator is very convenient and we had no time to re-book (we went to Eilat In part to do this trip and had only 1 day to rebook after the prior operator ditched us), but understand that some tours with Viator are great (as this one was), and some are horrible. It all depends on the actual operator that provides the service through Viator. Viator is just a clearing house, and they wash their hands of the service provided by the operator. The operator we had the first day did not provide instructions on where to meet and didn’t respond to calls, texts and emails. They also made us go through a totally unnecessary passport uploading process, and they told us we needed US dollars for visa, which was not true. The operator for this tour (the next day) was incredible. They picked us up at our hotel and took care of every detail. They did not create obstacles or road blocks like the first one did. Petra is beautiful, and our guide was extremely knowledgeable. We felt safe and cared for. What a difference a day (and the operator) makes.

We went to Petra at the end of January. We were 3 adults from Eilat. The car picked us up from the Eilat hotel at the agreed time and took us to the border. The driver spoke English and explained how to cross the border. Then he said when you come back from the excursion I will take you back to the hotel. When we crossed the border into Israel, we were met by another person from the agency who collected the money for the border fees (when we booked the tour we had chosen to pay the customs fees in cash). Then we crossed the jordanian border and got on a big bus. We went to pick up tourists from Aqaba. Everything went quickly and smoothly. When all the tourists were on the bus, we headed towards Petra. The guide gave each a bottle of water. The guide spoke good English. He told a lot on the way to Petra. The views from the windows of the bus were amazing. There was a toilet stop near the Petra. When we arrived in Petra and got off the bus, the guide showed us the place where we will have lunch and what time we will finish walking around Petra. The time during the whole trip was calculated well, because there were tourists who had to catch the ferry in Aqaba after the excursion. Walking around Peter went at a good pace, we managed to take pictures and admire it. When walking petra, footwear should be sporty. We went forward with the group. then we were given free time to walk back to the place for lunch. Lunch was a buffet. The food is delicious. Drinks at extra cost. In the afternoon we went back to the border. We said goodbye to the guide at the border. When we were in Eilat, the driver took us back to the hotel. The excursion is not cheap, but it is worth the money :)

+8

Our driver to border of Jordania and away from border was really nice and funny. Petra is place to see but waiting in border was waste of time, took 1,5 hours. No matter the company you hire in Israel, one bus take them all to the one bus to Petra. The guide in this bus, Fadi, was really nice and efficient. Petra was cold at this time of year, Feb, since it's in the mountains.

We paid $378.10 for two adults for this tour and then paid another $260.00 for what we were told was the entrance to Jordan and recently to Israel fees. This should have been approximately $65 each. The operator never did give us a breakdown of this charge. We were the only Bookings/Viatour people on the trip and everyone in line in front of us was charged $65 per person. Petra is lovely. The tour was ridiculously overpriced.

Petra is a unique experience. One day probably isn't enough. The tour was ell organised and comprehensive. Our guide Karim was great. Thanks
