Best of Israel and Jordan: 7-Day Package
Experience Israel and Jordan on a well-paced 7-day journey that combines major cities, historical sites, desert landscapes, and Petra, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.
The trip begins in Tel Aviv, where you’ll spend two nights at Abraham Tel Aviv in a central location. You’ll have free time to enjoy the beach, walk around local markets, explore food spots, or join optional day tours such as the Gaza Envelope or the West Bank for those interested in learning more about the region.
From Tel Aviv, the route continues toward the Judean Desert. You’ll visit Masada, walk through the Ein Gedi Oasis, and float in the Dead Sea. In the evening, you’ll arrive in Jerusalem for a two-night stay at Stay Inn Jerusalem, located near the city center.
In Jerusalem, you’ll join a guided tour of the Old City, visiting its main quarters and important historical and religious sites. You’ll also have free time to explore the city on your own and experience its everyday life.
The journey then continues to Jordan for a two-day trip. After crossing the King Hussein (Allenby) Bridge, you’ll travel through the desert to Petra. Entering through the Siq, you’ll reach the Treasury and explore Petra’s main sites with a guide, including tombs, temples, and ancient structures. You’ll also have time to explore independently.
That night, you’ll stay at a Bedouin campsite near Petra, with dinner, tea, and an overnight stay in the desert.
On the second day in Jordan, you’ll visit Madaba to see its famous mosaic map, then continue to Mount Nebo for views over the Jordan Valley and the Dead Sea. After lunch, you’ll return to Israel via the Allenby Bridge, arriving back in Jerusalem in the afternoon.
The package includes six nights of accommodation, daily breakfast, guided tours, border assistance, and all transportation within Israel and Jordan. Optional upgrades, additional nights, and extra tours can be added during booking or by contacting us directly.

Is the tour suitable for children?

How do we cross back into Israel?
The tour returns to Israel via the Allenby Bridge Border Crossing.
There will be a short stretch of time in which you will be in the crossing without the guide (who will remain on the Jordanian side), while our drivers will be waiting for you on the Israeli side.
For this, it is important to note the following:
* Be patient – during busy periods the crossing might be crowded and slow.
* Returning to Tel Aviv or Jerusalem on your own – there is a small chance that you will be delayed by extra questioning, and have to go back to Jerusalem or Tel Aviv on your own. If you are concerned this may happen to you, please read more about it under “What if I experience issues while crossing the border?”.
This is how it goes, step by step:
Try to stick together as a group to make the process easier, unless someone is delayed for questioning. This is not uncommon, and is not a reason for concern. The group should continue through the border, as the delayed passenger can take a shared taxi back to Jerusalem or Tel Aviv once they’ve crossed the border.
* Please note that our representatives are not allowed into the terminal and cannot
assist you inside.
- Check in your luggage: Once you finish the procedure on the Jordanian side, the bus will transfer you to the Israeli terminal, where you will be dropped off with your luggage. The first queue is to drop off your luggage for security screening and get a sticker on your passport with the number of pieces of luggage. You’ll still need to get the sticker, even if you only have hand luggage.
- First security check: The second queue is to get your passport scanned and put a security sticker on it. Please introduce yourself as a group.
- Hand luggage and personal security check: You will then enter the terminal and put your hand luggage through a baggage scanner, and go through a metal detector. Please remove all metal objects before passing through the detector (coins, belts, phones, etc.).
- Passport control: At this point you might be asked questions about what you have done in Jordan, what your plans are in Israel, etc. Occasionally the immigration asks a person to wait for further questioning. This process may take a while. If you have been delayed, and the Abraham Tours bus has already left with the rest of the group, you can return to Jerusalem or Tel Aviv using the shared taxis (explained further under “What if I experience issues while crossing the border?”).
- Luggage and Passport stamp check: Your luggage and passport will be checked to make sure you have gone through all necessary security procedures.
- Pick up your luggage, pass through customs and you are done! Outside the terminal our driver and bus will be waiting to transfer you back to Jerusalem or Tel Aviv.
