About this trip
Ten days that take you through two of the ancient world's biggest names, Egypt and Jordan, with flights included. You'll stand in front of the Pyramids of Giza, cruise the Nile past temple ruins, and walk into Petra through the narrow Siq.
It's a fully guided trip pitched as relaxing rather than rushed, and built with families and groups in mind, so the pace is set to let you take sites in rather than tick them off.
What you'll do
- See the Pyramids of Giza and the ruins of ancient Memphis
- Cruise the Nile, stopping at temples along the way
- Explore Luxor and the Valley of the Kings
- Wander Cairo's markets and museums
- Walk through Petra, carved into the rock by the Nabataeans
- Visit the Roman ruins at Jerash and the city of Amman
- Covers two countries in ten days, so you'll cross a border partway through
- Fully guided throughout, with flights included
- Pitched as relaxing rather than fast-paced, suited to families and groups
Worth it if you're a first-timer wanting efficient coverage of both countries and don't mind paying per-site entry fees. Think twice if you need detailed pre-trip planning or want guides who aren't pushing you towards shops.
- Standout guides like Ilhab and Emad made real difference: early museum access, genuine expertise, actively protected from hassle.
- Every guide took groups to shops disguised as museums or specialty stores; felt like half-tour with 15-30 min rushed walk-throughs.
- Entry fees not included; budget roughly $220 USD per person across sites. Visa and border handling by local operators caused unnecessary delays.
- No detailed itinerary provided upfront; day-to-day planning required. Guide quality varies significantly; Emad and Ilhab exceptional, others mediocre.
