The program:
Wednesday 31.7.19
06:00 The group meeting at the Arlozorov train station in Tel Aviv and heading towards Eilat with modern buses (so as not to get stuck at the border crossing - they leave earlier than the other groups).
*** If there will be enough subscribers from the Jerusalem area, there will also be exit and return from Jerusalem.
12:00 Arrival at the Arava border crossing
The border crossing to Jordan - we hope that we will be able, as last year, to arrive before the groups of haredi men who also arrive at the border crossing. Since they are usually not willing to change their clothes, and do some problems and noise, and therefore get stuck in the crossing for many hours. (Last year they stuck there for five hours and arrived at the hotel only late at night without visiting Wadi Rum at all).
* Only if time allows - a visit to Wadi Rum and a jeep tour (at no additional cost)
* An air-conditioned bus ride to Wadi Musa (very close to the Nabatean city of Petra) - an area full of Biblical memories. The town is named after Moshe Rabbeinu, and so is the small stream that flows from its center - Ein Musa (the spring according to the local tradition where Moshe hit the stone), where we will visit.
* From there we will continue to stay at the 4-star Petra Hotel - the hotel has a pool and Turkish bath.

Thursday, 1.8.19 - Shacharit, Petra and Etria, on the grave of Aaron the Righteous, Arava border crossing
* 04:00 Early wake-up
* 04:30 Departure to Petra - the capital of the Nabateans, which is one of the seven wonders of the world (accompanied by guides). We will recognize the temple of Pharaoh's daughters. We will see the tombs of the kings until we reach the treasure is the "chest" which became the symbol of Petra and perhaps of Jordan as a whole. We will leave the city via the Seik - the narrow passage leading to the city itself.
* Departing cars 4 * 4 in the direction of Aharon Hacohen's grave in the mountain of the mountain - Jebel Aron.
* Arrival of vehicles to Jabel Arun. Rise in the special way to the mountain mountain Tomb of Aharon. Climbing up the mountain is about 40 minutes. pay attention! The climb is hard - it's for the extreme!
The buses will remain attached all the time at the foot of the mountain so that the bags can be left while climbing to Aharon's grave
* Drop from the mountain and exit towards the border
18:30 Arrival at the border crossing
24:00 Arrival in Tel Aviv
