I did the two day tour and had a great time but if I knew better, I would probably had done the three day instead just because Jordan was amazing and two days wasn't enough! Crossing the border was easy and our guide, Ali was the best! Great food, definitely worth it.

The trip to Petra was amazing. This was a once in a lifetime experience. Our tour guide was nice and knowledgeable, hats off to our driver who drove us safely back and forth. Our journey to Petra was very long, but all worth it. Don’t expect a nice toilet on your bathroom stops. Our driver and bus change in the border went smoothly. Just have enough money for the border taxes. So much to see in Petra, you have to walk at least 1hr in and 1hr out. Wear comfortable shoes. Or you can ride a gulf cart for $15 one way. People will keep asking you to buy stuff, ride a camel, or a horse.
The Bedouin camp was wonderful. We were served tea in a campfire after dinner. The atmosphere was very soothing. The mountains were lit up at night, and it looked magical while eating dinner. The food was delicious.
The bathrooms in the camp was very clean. The camp that we chose didn’t have AC, but it gets cold at night..
It was worth spending money .

Great tour from Eilat to Petra, starting with a 4x4 tour in Wadi Rum in open Jeeps with sun protection. The bedouine tents are also nice but you should not be too picky regarding hygiene aspects. One night is definitely enough for the experience. The day in Petra was fantastic . With temperatures way above 40+ it is really exhausting.

The tour was good, but the tour company was completely incapable of transferring bus loads of people. They failed miserably at informing anyone about where the pickup point was at the Israeli border. The bus drivers - rather than looking for the passengers were either waiting inside the bus (w/out signage) or sipping coffee and smoking cigarettes talking to one another. There was no pre-coordinating, whatsoever. Instead, the guests were required to wander around the terminal on their own trying to find the transportation. Also, the company, rather than scheduling multiple busses for each tour, they took the cheap way and relied on one bus to transfer folks to Tel Aviv and one to Jerusalem. That would have been fine but for the fact that they were waiting on 2 different tours to complete the transit across the border and make it through passport control. The tour that finished first was waiting to be transferred back to Jerusalem for more than 2 hours for the people from the other tour to all arrive. If anyone has tried to cross at Allenby Bridge - a brain dead way to handle the handover. The experience utterly ruined the trip and I will never take another Abraham tour again - I recommend you steer clear of them and go with another company.
