7 Days in Israel & Jordan, incl. Jerusalem and Petra
A comprehensive 7-day tour through Israel and Jordan takes you to Jerusalem's Western Wall, Bethlehem's Church of Nativity, and Petra's Treasury. The route spans 10 cities with domestic flights, 3* hotels, and expert guides, costing approx. $220 per day.
- Day 1
Tel Aviv to Jerusalem
Land at Ben-Gurion Airport where your transfer will be waiting. The drive to Jerusalem takes about an hour. Plan to arrive before 3 PM to avoid rush hour traffic. Your evening is free to explore the Mahane Yehuda Market. After sunset, the market transforms into a lively spot full of local restaurants and bars.
- Day 2
Masada and Dead Sea
Leave at 7 AM for Masada. Take the morning cable car for the best photos before the harsh desert sun hits. One traveler shared: "Bring at least 2 liters of water per person and a hat - the desert heat is intense even in winter." For your Dead Sea experience, head to Ein Bokek beach with its modern facilities. Skip shaving for 24 hours before swimming to protect your skin from the salt water.
- Day 3
Bethlehem and Jericho
Remember your passport for crossing into Palestinian Territory. Visit the Church of Nativity before 9 AM to avoid the crowds. Your day includes ancient Jericho with its Mount of Temptation and the world's oldest city ruins. Border crossings take 30-45 minutes each way, so plan accordingly.
- Day 4
Jerusalem Old City
Visit the Mount of Olives viewpoint early for the best morning light. You'll walk the Via Dolorosa, a 1.2 km path through narrow market streets. Wear good shoes as the stone streets can be slippery. Visit the Western Wall before 11 AM to avoid intense sun. Remember to dress modestly with knees and shoulders covered.
- Day 5
Nazareth and Sea of Galilee
The northern drive takes about 2 hours. Start at the Church of Annunciation in Nazareth before exploring the Sea of Galilee sites. Visit Yardenit baptismal site where you can rent towels and white robes if you want to participate. End your day at Eilat airport for your flight to Jordan.
- Day 6
Petra
Cross into Jordan early when the border opens at 8 AM. The visa process might take an hour. Start your Petra visit by 9 AM through the Siq canyon. A visitor advises: "The walk from the entrance to the Treasury is about 2 km on uneven ground - wear proper walking shoes and bring snacks as food inside is limited."
- Day 7
Wadi Rum to Amman
Take a 2-hour jeep tour through Wadi Rum's red desert. Bring a scarf to protect yourself from sand and sun. The drive to Amman airport takes 4 hours, so book flights after 4 PM. This week-long journey through Israel and Jordan is fast-paced with several border crossings and early starts, but you'll see all the major highlights.
6 Day Israel Itinerary, incl. Jerusalem and Galilee
Religious sites and ancient wonders fill this 6-day tour across 11 biblical cities in Israel and Jordan. Visitors walk through Jerusalem's Church of Holy Sepulcher, float in the Dead Sea, and marvel at Bethlehem's Church of Nativity. Package includes 3-star hotels, daily breakfast, and expert guides.
- Day 1
Jerusalem Old City
Head to the Western Wall early around 7:30 AM to beat the crowds. Walk the Via Dolorosa's 14 Stations of the Cross in comfortable shoes since the stone streets can get slippery. Visit the Church of the Holy Sepulchre before 9 AM to avoid the midday rush. A previous visitor shared: "The Old City market streets are narrow and can be overwhelming - stick close to your group and keep your belongings secure."
- Day 2
Bethlehem & Jericho
It takes about an hour to drive from Jerusalem to Jericho through the Judean Desert. Start with Mount Temptation in the morning while it's still cool. When you reach Bethlehem, expect to wait 15-20 minutes to enter the Grotto under the Church of Nativity during busy times. Pack a shawl or modest clothing since you'll need to cover shoulders and knees at religious sites.
- Day 3
Mount of Olives & Garden of Gethsemane
Start your morning walking down the Mount of Olives for great views of Jerusalem's Old City. The path has steep, uneven steps so wear shoes with good traction. Visit the Garden of Gethsemane before 10 AM to enjoy it before tour buses arrive. Bring plenty of water since Jerusalem gets hot even in winter.
- Day 4
Masada & Dead Sea
Take the first cable car to Masada at 8 AM to avoid peak heat. You'll need 2-3 hours to see the fortress properly. For the Dead Sea, bring water shoes to protect against sharp salt crystals. Skip shaving for 24 hours before swimming and keep your head above water. The water feels best between 3-5 PM when it's warmest.
- Day 5
Nazareth & Sea of Galilee
The trip north to Nazareth takes about 2 hours from Jerusalem. Visit the Church of Annunciation first thing since tour groups fill it by mid-morning. Jordan River baptism sites at the Sea of Galilee are quieter in the afternoon. If you plan to be baptized, bring modest swimwear.
- Day 6
Mediterranean Coast
See Caesarea's Roman ruins early before it gets hot. You'll need advance reservations to visit the inner areas of the Bahai Gardens in Haifa. Finish your day in Acre's Crusader city and its underground tunnels which stay cool. Pack a light jacket for the Rosh Hanikra grottoes since they can be cool and damp.
7 Days in Israel & Jordan, incl. Jerusalem and Petra
Sacred sites and natural wonders highlight this 7-day tour featuring Jerusalem's Old City, Petra's rock formations, and Tel Aviv's vibrant culture. The itinerary includes Masada fortress, Dead Sea floating, and Ein Gedi's oasis. Six nights' accommodation, professional guides, and modern transport provided.
- Day 1
Jerusalem or Tel Aviv Arrival
Land at Ben Gurion Airport. Book a VIP transfer service if arriving after 2 PM to skip long immigration lines. The trip to Jerusalem takes 1 hour, Tel Aviv just 30 minutes. Get some money changed at the airport for your Jordan border fees. Bring clean, new USD bills for the Jordan visa.
- Day 2
Jerusalem Old City
Head to the Western Wall at 7:30 AM before the crowds show up. Pack modest clothes covering shoulders and knees for all religious sites. Wear solid walking shoes since the Old City paths can be slippery. Walk the Via Dolorosa through the Christian Quarter in the morning to beat the heat. Visit Machane Yehuda Market around 4 PM when locals are shopping and the energy picks up.
- Day 3
Dead Sea Region
Visit Masada early - take the first 8 AM cable car in winter, or catch sunrise in summer. Drive 45 minutes to Ein Gedi Reserve and hike before it gets too hot at 11 AM. Go for your Dead Sea float in late afternoon when the sun is less intense. Pack water shoes to protect your feet from sharp salt crystals.
- Day 4
Petra Day Trip
Get ready for a long day starting at 3-4 AM with a 4-hour drive each way through the Negev Desert. Bring your passport and cash for the Jordan border - $60 for visa and $65 for taxes. The walk through Petra is 8-10 km on rough ground. Pack lots of water and a hat since there's not much shade.
- Day 5
Tel Aviv Free Day
Take it easy after your Petra adventure. Walk the beach promenade before 11 AM or after 4 PM when it's cooler. Try exploring by bike on the city's bike lanes. The nightlife really picks up in Florentin after dark.
- Day 6
Tel Aviv & Jaffa Exploration

What people love about 7-day Israel and Jordan tours
- Israel and Jordan in 7 days
In the beginning of the tour was not well organize. Nobody was waiting for us in the airport but in the parking lot. It was really stressful to me because I waited 2:30 minutes for them to pick me up. The hotel was dirty and there was no restaurant to eat. I had to walk a block away to have breakfast from a restaurant that they partner.

It was a good tour. Must see
- Israel, Jordan and Petra 7-Day Experience
We explored parts of Israel and Jordan in early October 2023. The trip was coordinated by Tour Radar and Abraham Tours. We stayed at two Abraham Hostels on this tour ( one Tel Aviv and one in Jerusalem) as well as a Bedouin Camp in Jordan. The tours in Israel included Old CIty of Jaffa, Old Jerusalem, Masada and the Dead Sea. All amazing sites to see. We travelled into Jordan on the three day tour and saw/explored Mount Nebo, Petra and Wadi Rum. I can honestly say that all of the tours we did were some of the best i have ever done. The history and the scenery was spectacular. The food that was included/served was a little repetitive at the various places, however was pretty good (nobody got sick) and it would appear that Abraham Tours had sourced some of the cleanest/nicer places to eat. I would certainly condsider booking with Tour Radar/Abraham Tours in the future.
