Arrive at Ben Guiron Airport in Tel Aviv for your flight to Roman Airport in Eilat, where your driver will pick you up. From there, ride to the Arava border and go through border control and customs at 8:45 AM. On the Jordanian side of the border, transfer to an air-conditioned car/van/bus and head towards Petra.

Simo and Musa are both very entertaining drivers so accommodating and kind too. The tour in general is very informative and interesting at the same time. I highly recommend it worth the travel and hiking challenge. I messaged and tried calling the main office several times but they were very patient with me with my endless concerns. I recommend it.

Trip was taken in Nov 2022. There were a lot of moving parts to this trip from airlines, transfers, border crossings, buses, etc and the logistics were well planned and everything worked; completely turnkey. Other tour companies didn’t always offer full service. Some didn’t include border crossing assistance, transfers, airport pick up etc. At GYG everything was taken care of. Their pre trip communication was good as well. If you only have one day to do this then this is the best option I found. It’s a long day though, but 10x better than riding on a bus both ways. Some advice, eat a big breakfast before you go as the lunch they offer is late in the day. The people in Jordan were very nice and never once did we feel unsafe. The guide was very good. We are very glad we went. Overall a great trip. Petra is nothing short of amazing.
