About this trip
Fifteen days across Egypt and Jordan, built around the ancient sites that draw people to this part of the world in the first place, the Nile temples and the Great Pyramids of Giza.
A stretch of the trip is spent aboard a 5* cruise, giving you a slower, more comfortable way to move between sites along the Nile, with time built in to just watch the Red Sea coastline go by.
This is a fully guided group trip, sightseeing and history-led rather than beach or activity-focused, with a Christmas and New Year departure for those who want to spend the holidays somewhere different.
What you'll do
- Visit the Great Pyramids of Giza
- Explore ancient temple sites along the Nile
- Cruise the Nile aboard a 5* ship
- Take in views along the Red Sea coast
- Sightseeing-heavy and guided throughout, suited to those who want the history explained rather than self-directed exploring
- Combines Egypt and Jordan, so expect a border crossing partway through
- Available as a Christmas and New Year departure
Worth it if you want comprehensive Egypt-Jordan coverage with standout guides and luxury accommodation. Think twice if you dislike early starts, buffet meals, or prefer flexibility over tight scheduling.
- Guides like Remon, Ahmed, and Mina consistently transform the experience; travellers mention feeling safe, learning deeply, and forming lasting bonds.
- 5-star Nile cruise and hotels are genuinely excellent; luggage handling and spacious buses remove practical friction from the journey.
- Very early starts and tight pacing mean your brain is packed full by trip's end; some waited hours before lunch on certain days.
- Upfront USD payment required on arrival for entry fees and tips; buffet meals throughout are convenient but food quality varies noticeably.
