 Day 1: Day of Leisure in Eilat

Eilat is Israel's No.1 beach resort city, the pearl of the desert – with countless attractions for every taste. 

Visit the fabulous Coral Beach, considered among the most beautiful and diverse underwater reserves in the world. Snorkel and get close and personal with unique animals, or see them through the huge windows of the Eilat Underwater Observatory - the best way to meet the aquatic wildlife without getting wet. 

Visitors love the Eilat Dolphin Reef where you can observe and swim with dolphins in their natural environment; the dolphins in Eilat are free to move between the reef area and the open bay. 

Eilat's shores are among the best in the middle east: Get some tan on Dekel (Palm) Beach, enjoy watersport activities at Kisuski Beach, try great Greek food at Mykonos Beach, and relax at the laid-back local favorite - Mosh Beach. 

After a 20-minute drive from the city, you'll reach Timna Valley Park, where you can see King Solomon's Pillars, The famous giant Mushroom, and many more incredible rock formations. 

And we have some awesome news for Fashionistas and shopping lovers: Eilat is a tax-free city where you can shop til you drop in over 12 Malls, Markets, and Outlet centers. Numerous international brands await you, alongside local designs.

Overnight stay: Eilat

 

 Day 2: Tour to Petra

Traveling along the Desert Highway we pass breathtaking desert and mountain scenery you won't forget. When we arrive in Petra you can choose to enter the city on foot or on horseback.

The Lost Nabatean capital is a magnificent archaeological site dating back about 2,300 years - and its most impressive structures were all carved out of the red-hued rock cliffs.

Here you will travel through the Siq, a beautiful smooth gorge that serpentines all the way to the famous Petra Treasury with its exquisite decorations.

See the captivating Obelisk Tomb, explore the Petra Theater and learn about forgotten times, take unique pictures, and marvel at the intricately decorated shrines as you walk down Petra’s ancient colonnaded street.
