Take this fantastic Petra tour from Eilat. A 2.5-hour drive through the exquisite, pristine desert landscape, will bring you to the famous lost city.

The Nabataean civilization carved Petra out of red-coloured rock cliffs about 2,300 years ago, and its shrines and temples remained untouched. You'll pass by the mysterious Djinn blocks, used to house desert spirits. You'll see the beautiful Obelisk Tomb and walk down the colourful Siq gorge all the way to the marvellous Petra Treasury - a massive temple with intricate decorations.

Then feel like Indiana Johns in the Petra Royal Tombs, and take awesome pictures in the ancient Nabatean Theater.

After 3-4 hours in Petra, you'll ride back to Eilat, taking in more beautiful wilderness views.
