Eilat Airport Transfer (ETM Ramon) — Fixed Price

Eilat is Israel's Red Sea resort town, served since 2019 by Ramon Airport (IATA: ETM), 18 kilometres north of the city. Ramon replaced the old in-town Eilat airport (ETH) and Ovda (VDA) and handles direct European winter-sun charters plus domestic flights from TLV. From Ramon, the journey to the North Beach hotels takes 20 to 30 minutes on Highway 90; to Taba Border Crossing (for onward travel into Egypt's Sinai coast and Dahab) is 30–40 minutes; to the Wadi Araba crossing (for Petra in Jordan) is 10–15 minutes. Taxis queue at the terminal but availability during Shabbat and Jewish holidays is inconsistent — a LocalsRide pre-booking covers these dates and quotes the USD fare in advance.

Wadi Araba (Yitzhak Rabin) border is 22 km south of ETM. Israeli-side driver to the crossing (10–15 min), walk-through with passport and Jordanian visa, then a Jordanian driver to Petra (130 km, 2 hours). Total airport-to-Petra is 3.5–4.5 hours with border queues. A coordinated two-leg booking is the safer option.
