You can choose to spend a free day in Aqaba exploring the city and relaxing on the shore of the Red Sea, or an optional day-tour to Petra. If you coose the tour, we will pick you up from your hotel at 8 am and drive to Petra. There you will ride a horse to the start of the eerie Siq entrance canyon, walk through the Siq to the famous Treasury, then expore the Royal Tombs, the Roman theatre and colonnaded street and Qasr al Bint. You will then have free time to wander on your own; some may choose to climb to the Monastery. After a late lunch at a restaurant, we’ll head back to Aqaba for the night.

We approach Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives, which has the best panoramic view of the city, Temple Mount and the famous Dome of the Rock. We then proceed to the old city Jerusalem, entering through Dung Gate to visit the Wailing Wall, the last remnants of the Jewish temple destroyed by the Romans in 70 AD.
