Petra is magnificent. History, nature of canyon. Plan to spend there more than a day. Take good shoes, water, camera...

Located in Jordan but easily accessible from Eilat Israel, this is an amazing trip. It can be done as a full day but to really get the most out of it you should spend two - 4 days here. There are first rate hotels very nearby. All the hotels in Eilat can arrange a trip and guide. If you go... More

This place is incredible! every corner blows your mind - from entering through the Siq and seeing the treasury to climbing 800+ stairs to get to the Monastery. Wear your sneakers, pack a snack and get ready for 7 hours of climbing.

I have visited Petra on two separate occasions and I still saw things I must have overlooked the first time. If you are on a time cramp, you can see the main sites in around 5 hours round trip. However, I would recommend... More
