Picture exploring two complex countries with a small group for easier logistics. Head to Jerusalem's religious sites, Tel Aviv's beaches and Bauhaus architecture, and cross into Jordan for Petra's Rose City, and Wadi Rum desert camping. The combination works geographically and historically. It’s fascinating, complex, and sometimes intense.

Reviews of Small Group tours to Israel And Jordan
- 11 Days Highlights of Israel and Jordan (Multi country)
It was a great tour packed with many different activities on the itinerary. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable on history, sites, recent media news ... we did learn a lot. For your consideration: the choice of meals to accommodate folks with allergies, diabetes or different diets would be appropriate A choice of snacks, fruits and vegetables at a local market would be appreciated at times for lunch as not everyone wants a big buffet or restaurant lunch.
- Israel, Jordan and Petra 7-Day Experience
I can honestly say that this was one of the best trips of my life! I thoroughly enjoyed every day of the holiday. I attended during a challenging time (during the protests) but everything worked out well in the end. I can't choose between Jerusalem and Petra being my favourite trip. Thoroughly recomended!
- Petra and Madaba 2-Day Tour from Tel Aviv
Great tour, and I typically don’t like tours. Mahdi was fantastic, and I was luckily to be with a friendly and cultured group from all parts of the world.
