What people are saying about Eilat

The sites and the tour once on the Jordanian side was amazing. There was a bit of a wait on the border as there were at least 70 people gathered from different tours. This caused us to skip Aquaba, only have lunch there, and reach Wadi Rum around 3:30PM. That gave us time to see the red dune, the little bridge and the sunset. I was hoping to have more time there. The accommodations on both the beduin camp and Petra were amazing. We then had two full days to see Petra as the return is not before 5 o’clock. That was great because I got to do most of the trails, had time to see everything I wanted and that includes the Little Petra. The tour through Jordan was so great and the sites were so impressive that it made up for the late start. The tour operators are also very responsive over email until late evening.

Magnificent Tour, Magnificent Landscapes and Incredible and Surprising City of Petra! The Bedouin camp is amazing! Electricity and Wi-Fi and private tiled bathroom. Refectory under tent with a magnificent buffet! Crossing the Israeli-Jordanian border a little laborious but it gives you time to get to know the other companions… If you go around in winter, bring warm and waterproof clothes and a light pair of gloves because it is very cold once the sun has set… Beware also of the Bedouins who, despite their legendary sympathy, do everything to rip you off because no price is displayed… Apparently everything is fake and comes from China… to see… The 15-minute horseback ride in 20 dinars ends in 40 with a welcome tip for the Canasson…:-) After calculation, it represents almost $60 for 15 minutes… easy enough !

All very good. The organization was impeccable and the guide 5 *. The visit to Petra is very worthwhile.

Petra and Wadi are worth the trip. Our tour guide is friendly, knowledgeable and so helpful.
