Can I book a tour to Petra from my hotel in Eilat?

You come to a vacation in Eilat, and you want to go to a Petra tour.

I recommend you to find a reliable and reputable tour operator online at a website like TripAdvisor.

If you wondered, then all the hotels in Eilat will offer you to book a tour to Petra from them at the reception.

The price of Petra tour at the hotel’s reception can be the same as the price that you can find in the internet, or a little bit higher or lower.

Yet, as you may understand the hotels just sell you tickets to a tour to Petra for one of the tour operators who operate this tour from Eilat, and they get a commision for each client.

However, the receiptionists at the hotel don’t care about the quality of the tour or about the reputation of the tour operator. They will just sell you tickets to the cheapest tour operator that offers them the highest commission, and you will have absolutely no idea who will be your tour operator.

The price of the tour doesn’t indicate about its quality. I mean that if you pay at the hotel an expensive price for the tour, then it doesn’t mean that you get a good tour operator. The hotel will send you to the same cheap tour operator, but they will justr get a bigger commision.

You can also just end up in some unknown group that isn’t even organized by a licenced company.

So, don’t book a tour without knowing who will be your tour operator!

Have a nice tour! 🙂
