Star Wars 2020: The Rise of Skywalker

Star Wars 2020: The Rise of Skywalker

The film ‘Star Wars: Rogue One’ featured Wadi Rum in Jordan (AKA “Valley of the Moon”) as the fictional moon of Jedha.

Jedha is a small desert moon located in the Jedha system of the galaxy’s Mid Rim. It is considered as the spiritual home of the Jedi, and it is the first place where individuals began exploring the nature of the Force.

People usually travel in Wadi Rum by jeeps or camels. But, Star Wars really took it up a notch!

If you consider a tour to Petra, then we definitely recommend to add also one day in Wadi Rum with an overnight at a Bedouin camp in Wadi Rum, enjoying a special Bedouin dinner and a jeep tour in the spectacular landscapes of Wadi Rum nature reserve.

When you go to Wadi Rum Tours, you can take a photo like this, and pretend that you are on Jedha.

Book our two days tour to Petra and Wadi Rum or our three days tour to Petra and Wadi Rum!

Important announcement for Israelis who visit Jordan

Important announcement for Israelis who visit Jordan

This is an important announcement that was issued by the Jordanians on May 2nd 2019:

1. All Israelis who visit Jordan, including Israelis who just go to Aqaba, must coordinate in advance a Jordanian guide.

2. In addition, everyone who will stay at a hotel must bring with them a hotel’s invitation document for a hotel that was prepaid in advance.

Any passenger who won’t be allowed to enter to Jordan, and will be sent back to Israel by the Jordanians because of any reason, won’t get a refund for the paid border fees!

This is an official statement that was issued by the management of Itzaac Rabin terminal.

Even if you just booked a hotel in Aqaba and you don’t need a guide, you still need a Jordanian guide who will meet you at the border crossing, arrange the necessary documents and state that he is your guide.

You won’t be able to get a guide after you crossed the border to Jordan. You must arrange a Jordanian guide in advance, before crossing the border to Jordan, who will arrive to the border crossing with a copy of your passports and the necessary documents.

In case that you don’t have a Jordanian guide, you can contact us, and we will arrange for you a Jordanian guide who will meet you at the border crossing, issue all the necessary documents, help you with the border procedures and also take you to your hotel in Aqaba and back to Eilat. In addition, our representative in Eilat will meet you at the Israeli side of the border crossing, and explain to you everything that you need to know.

It’s better to arrange everything in advance. But, sometimes, we are able to arrange a Jordanian guide who will meet you at the border crossing in a short notice. So, you can call us when you are at the entrance to the Israeli side of the border crossing.

We also recommend you to book our private tours to Petra and our flagship tours – the one day tour to Petra and the two days tour to Petra and Wadi Rum. These tours are also available from Aqaba.

Please be aware that if you stay in Jordan for 3 nights or more, then you won’t have to pay the Jordanian departure tax.

How to Booking Tours Israel

How to Booking Tours Israel

Where can you book tours to Jerusalem and tours to Petra?

First of all, you will really like Eilat. It’s sunny 335 days in a year with a beautiful sea and nice people.
I live in Eilat, and about 90% of the tourists who I meet in Eilat want to visit Jerusalem – the City of Gold.
It’s also very recommended to travel from Eilat to Petra, the Red-rose City, which is one of the Seven Wonders of the World, for at least one day.
Where can you buy a tour to Jerusalem and a tour to Petra from Eilat?
Well, there are many websites that offer Booking Tours Israel. You can also buy these tours from your agent at your hotel or from your tour operator.
I will tell you a little secret. Your “tour operator” in Eilat is not really a tour operator. He is just a local agent who buys a list of tourists from agencies in Europe or Russia. Your agent in Europe or Russia sells your information (name and hotel) to agents in Eilat.
Your agent will meet you at your hotel in Eilat and convince you to pay him a lot of money, and get vouchers for the tours. They tell people that you must buy the tours from them right now, because that afterwards they won’t be available, and if you buy the tours from someone else, then you won’t have an insurance and probably nobody will come to pick you up to the tour and you will lose your money.
The truth is actually the opposite. These agents don’t have any license. They just charge you excessive rates, and pay a small amount of money to the cheapest tour operator in Eilat, leaving a huge commission for themselves. Of course that this tour operator is far of being the best.
Most of the agents in the hotels send their tourists to some tour operator called Fun Time. You can read the reviews of tourists about the services of that company on TripAdvisor.
The best tour operator in Eilat, according to LTG (Luxury Travel Guide) magazine and TH (Travel & Hospitality) magazine is Mantis Tours & Travel. You can be impressed by the super great reviews of this company on TripAdvisor.
When you book a tour online directly from a good reputable tour operator, you actually pay less and get much more.
So, for a conclusion, have a great vacation and enjoy your tours!
See you in Eilat! 🙂
