November 18, 2010: This day we offer the optional tour to Petra in the country of Jordan (approx. $200 per person). A rose-red city half as old as time, discover the ancient world of Petra. See the multicolored sandstone high mountains: secluded steep rocky slopes and craggy mountaintops which celebrated tombs, facades, theatres and stairways are carved. This experience is unforgettable. If you decide to stay in Eilat and choose to discover the treasures of the region, consider a glass bottom boat ride or the Coral Beach Nature Reserve where protected reef and myriad fish can be observed by all. The possibilities are endless. Overnight at the Royal Beach in Eilat. (B,D)

November 19, 2010: Relax and reflect on all the biblical places you have visited... In Eilat,  nature has carved out a remarkable haven; violet-hued desert mountains meeting white sands on the edge of clear, coral filled sea.  With 365 days of sun a year, the choices of any water sport or sun activity is limitless.  Coral and marine life is bountiful in the Red Sea making this perfect for sailing, scuba diving or snorkeling.  A day trip to Saint Catherine's Monastery on Mount Sinai in Egypt might be an interesting option for you as well.  Overnight at the Royal Beach, Eilat.

Dubbed the lifestyles of the rich and famous for the Middle East, every type of spa treatment is available to you. You may choose to quietly reflect on your Holy Land experience or spend the day shopping. Eilat is a Free Trade Zone so no V.A.T. is collected. Shopping is a rare treat with unique items being sold at a multitude of shops. The Red Sea is where God parted the water for a fleeing Moses and the Israelites, so a rejuvenating swim each morning or evening will be an experience you will never forget. Overnight in Eilat.
