Eilat, Israel and Aqaba (Petra), Jordan in one trip from Sofia for only €7!
CHEAP!
Great opportunity to visit two amazing countries in one trip! Fly from Sofia to Eilat, Israel and return from Aqaba, Jordan for only €7!
Located at the southern-most tip of the country, within its small “window on the Red Sea”, Eilat is a resort town devoted to sun, fun, diving, partying and desert-based activities. The city is rich with excellent hotels, restaurants, fantastic beaches and a variety of activities. The warm and dry desert climate and the splendid Red Sea surrounded by beautiful mountains, make Eilat the number one resort town in the area.
Known for its authentic Middle Eastern culture and hospitable locals, Jordan is a land of fascinating contrasts and history. Apart from the legendary rock-cut temples of Petra and the very site where Jesus Christ is thought to have been baptized, you can explore the Roman, Ottoman, Persian and Egyptian relics, as well as deserts and beach resorts.
This vast desert valley (wadi) on the eastern fringes of Aqaba is surely one of the most awesome natural wonders in Jordan. Mythic petroglyphs carved into the cliffs’ soft sandstone are the evidence for the fact that this area has been inhabited for thousands of years. This protected UNESCO World Heritage Site with towering monoliths was chosen as the backdrop to many movies (e.g. 'Lawrence of Arabia', 'Prometheus, 'Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen' and 'The Martian').
Don’t pass up an opportunity to stay at one of the many Bedouin camps. Hike in Wadi Rum to see the breathtaking White Desert, Khazali Canyon, Um Frouth Rock Bridge, Al Mahama, and Lawrence's spring. A camel ride to watch the sunrise at the sand dunes glowing deep orange and red is an experience you’ll never forget.
