About this trip
Fourteen days across Egypt and Jordan, covering the big names in both countries without you having to sort out the flights or logistics between them.
You start in Cairo with the Pyramids of Giza and the Grand Egyptian Museum, then head down the Nile by cruise boat, taking in temples and markets along the way, before a detour into the White Desert's strange rock formations. From there you cross into Jordan for Petra and a night at the Dead Sea.
It's a lot of ground covered — history-heavy in Egypt, then a shorter, sharper look at Jordan's highlights — so expect a packed schedule with guided excursions built in throughout.
What you'll do
- See the Pyramids of Giza and the Grand Egyptian Museum in Cairo
- Cruise the Nile past ancient temples
- Explore the White Desert's rock formations
- Walk through Petra, carved into rose-red cliffs
- Float in the Dead Sea
- Covers two countries in 14 days, so it's a fast-moving itinerary with domestic and international flights included
- Mixes a slower-paced Nile cruise with more intensive sightseeing days on land
We started tracking this trip on 22 Jul — the chart appears once a few days of real history build up. Every point is a price we recorded ourselves.
Your free day in Cairo
Landing early, staying on, or filling free time? The best-rated day experiences in Cairo — you book on Viator (we may earn a commission).
Worth it if you're flexible, have patience with poor comms, and prioritise Jordan over Egypt. Think twice if you need reliable logistics, English-speaking guides throughout, or decent sleep.
- Communication is genuinely chaotic: last-minute pickup times, 4am starts, no advance notice of itinerary changes or missing facilities.
- Desert guide often speaks no English, won't explain sites, sleeps in, skips meals. Sleeping bags inadequate for cold nights.
- Egypt section plagued by long gaps between meals, cancelled tours, substandard Cairo hotel with noise issues. Jordan section markedly better.
- When crisis hit, managing director Eyad and team showed genuine care, reorganising entire trip to accommodate guests' needs seamlessly.
