About this trip
Fifteen days across Egypt and Jordan, built around some of the most significant ancient sites in the world, with local leaders on hand to explain what you're actually looking at.
The pace mixes guided excursions with pockets of free time, so you get context at the big sites but also room to wander markets or just take things in on your own.
This is a fully guided group trip travelling by coach, so days are structured but sociable, with the ancient wonders doing the heavy lifting rather than manufactured extras.
What you'll do
- Explore the ancient city of Petra with a local guide
- Visit the Great Pyramids of Giza
- Tour the temples and tombs of Luxor
- Wander and haggle in Cairo's bazaars
- Watch the sun set over the desert
- Moderate activity level — expect walking and full days at archaeological sites
- Coach travel between destinations, so some days involve longer transfers
- Guided excursions are balanced with free time to explore independently
Worth it if you get good guides and luck out on accommodation; think twice if you're food-sensitive, need creature comforts, or value customer service.
- Accommodation quality is wildly inconsistent: no AC in 100+ degree heat, broken showers, unsafe pool ladders reported.
- Entire tour group got food poisoning at a G Adventures–selected restaurant; company denied accountability in follow-up emails.
- Jordan guides push vendors aggressively with suspected kickbacks; customer service unresponsive to complaints and refund disputes.
- When guides are strong, the pace and itinerary deliver: sights are impressive and local insights genuinely enriching.
