9-Night Israel Tour with Petra from Tel Aviv
This 10-day guided tour covers the full length of Israel from the Mediterranean coast to the Negev Desert, and crosses into Jordan for a two-day visit to Petra, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. You start and finish in Tel Aviv, with 9 nights of hotel accommodation, daily breakfast, professional English-speaking guides, all entrance fees, and coordinated transport between every destination.
The itinerary is built to show you the country properly, not just the postcard version. You'll walk through 3,000 years of history in Jerusalem's Old City, float in the Dead Sea at the lowest point on earth, ride a cable car up to the fortress of Masada, explore Roman ruins at Caesarea, stand at the edge of the Golan Heights looking into Syria, descend into the sea grottos at Rosh Hanikra, and walk the Crusader tunnels of Acre. In Nazareth, you visit the Church of the Annunciation. In Bethlehem, the Church of the Nativity. In Jericho, the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world.
Then the tour heads south to Eilat and crosses the border into Jordan for two full days in Petra. Day one is a guided tour through the Siq canyon to the Treasury, the amphitheater, the royal tombs, and the ancient Nabataean city center. Day two is yours to explore independently, hike to the Monastery, or revisit your favorite sections at your own pace.
Every logistic is handled. Hotel pickups, border crossing assistance, guide rotations, entrance tickets, and transport are all pre-arranged. You focus on the experience, not the planning. The tour operates with daily departures year-round and welcomes all ages.
Whether you're a first-time visitor to Israel or returning to see the parts you missed, this tour delivers the most complete overview of the country available in 10 days, with Petra as the grand finale.
