About this trip
Two countries in one trip, covering Egypt's ancient monuments and Jordan's desert landscapes over 15 days. This is a history-forward itinerary built around temples, tombs, and one of the world's most recognisable ancient sites.
Expect museum visits and guided sightseeing alongside some time in the water, with the Red Sea offering a chance to snorkel between the heavier history days. A Christmas and New Year departure is available for those wanting to spend the festive period somewhere entirely different.
What you'll do
- See the Pyramids of Giza and other ancient Egyptian sites
- Spend time in Cairo's Egyptian Museum
- Snorkel in the Red Sea
- Explore Petra in Jordan
- Sightsee temples along the Nile Valley
- A 15-day trip spanning two countries, so plenty of ground covered
- History and museum-heavy itinerary, good for those keen on ancient sites rather than pure relaxation
- Christmas and New Year departure available if you want to travel over the festive period
Worth it if you want Egypt's highlights covered thoroughly with strong guides and don't mind early starts, long bus days, and rushed site visits. Think twice if Petra or Dead Sea are your main draw—you'll get minimal time at both.
- Egypt guides Mina and Rey were exceptional—knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely invested in group dynamics.
- Jordan section severely undercooked: only three hours at Petra, thirty minutes at Dead Sea, excessive driving.
- Pyramids visit rushed to one-ish hour; you'll skip two of the three and merely drive past them.
- Book Cairo-Aswan flight upgrade and avoid felucca day; hotel buffet food repetitive—seek local restaurants instead.
