Israel
is undoubtedly among world's most beautiful countries and being home to
Jerusalem, it is visited by numerous tourists. Israel Petra itineraries are
among the most sought after one as the latter is located close by and has
remained a keen subject of interest among travelers. Here is a simple travel itinerary
that you can follow if you are planning an Israel and Petra trip soon.
Start with Aqaba:
Before
you reach Petra, Aqaba is the place you can't miss! From scuba diving and
snorkeling to amazing sites like the Aqaba Castle and Sharif Hussein Bin Ali,
Aqaba will throw you a surprise at every corner. But most Petra tours will
include a brief visit in this port city which has some great beaches so make
sure that you pick out the attractions you visit on the Israel Petra Tours
beforehand.
Next Stop: Petra, the
guided tour:
Mantis Israel Petra
Tours have a convenient service
where they pick travelers from the hotel and provide them with seasonal gift
fruits. The routine is amazing as it is enthusiastic so you can begin your
routine with some delicious fruits and have the convenience of being driven
around. Since Petra is in Jordan, you
will have to cross the border with complete legal and travel assistance of the
allotted Jordanian representative.
The beautiful Wadi Rum,
Wadi Arabia and the glowing deserts of Petra:
Calling
Petra beautiful would be an understatement. The city famously referred to as
half as old as time is well known for its sandstone buildings and architecture.
From the beautiful canyon Siq that gives you the way in to the city to the
wonderfully grand Treasury; the city has an array of places that you should
visit. Enjoying a guided tour is just the most amazing thing anyone could every
do in Jordan so take the guide along and get to know about the majestic
architecture of the city that has been abandoned and ruled time and again.
If
you want a wonderful view from atop the hill then visiting the town in
proximity, Wadi Musa, is recommended. However, other than the amazing view,
there is nothing much to look forward to. The city also has an enchanting
street of facades which is a vast canyon adorned with numerous tombs. Another
beautiful carved monument which is often said to be the most beautiful among
all in Petra is the Monastery. Said to be as old as 1 AD, the Monastery has
some great interior architecture too.
Another
must visit are the Royal Tombs which you can walk to all the way from the Roman
Theatre. Petra by Night which really
lightens up the city at night is also a must visit for anyone looking for the
perfect Bedouin experience.
It's always recommended
to go with a guide since understanding local language might be a struggle for
some. Once your Petra expedition is over, you will be driven back to your hotel
in Eliat.
