Egypt and Jordan Experience

16 days - from $2890

From pyramids to Petra, Karnak Temple to the Valley of the Kings and Mount Sinai to the Dead Sea, this is an epic trip through an epic land The histories of Egypt and Jordan stretch back over the millennia, offering a rich and rewarding experience to inquisitive travellers. In Egypt, we visit all the major pharaonic sites in Cairo and along the Nile, take a three-night riverboat cruise, wander the back alleys of the capital’s medieval heart and climb Mount Sinai for a spectacular sunrise. Hydrofoil across the Red Sea to Jordan and usher in another realm of memorable experience – explore the sandstone landscapes of Wadi Rum, ride camels to a Bedouin desert camp and spend a night amongst the dunes. We also spend a whole day in the cooling canyons and intricately carved temples of Petra, before visiting the Crusader castle at Shobak and relaxing in the wooded, rocky nature reserve by Dana Village. The final few buoyant days of our adventure are spent swimming in the Dead Sea and exploring the remarkably well-preserved, 2000 year-old ruins of Jerash.
