Wonders of Egypt & Jordan Itinerary

Explore the streets of wonderfully chaotic Cairo, where old-world charm blends with a hubbub of activity to create a truly unique atmosphere. Visit the triangular brilliance of the ancient Pyramids and pause in awe of the incredible Sphinx.

Egypt’s second largest city, Alexandria, is a prominent cultural, intellectual, political and economic metropolis. Discover the Al Montazah Palace and gardens and stop by the fascinating Catacombs of Kom ash-Shuqqafa, the largest Roman burial site in Egypt.

Take time in Aswan to wander around one of the country’s best bazaars and pay a visit to a Nubian village, where dinner with a local family sets the scene for an unforgettable insight into the life and culture of the people.

Built by Ramses II, the temples of Abu Simbel are an amazing spectacle to behold before a relaxing and inspiring cruise down the iconic River Nile.

Arrive in Luxor, an open-air museum that was once the ancient Egyptian capital of Thebes. Witness the staggering temple complex of Karnak and the Valley of the Kings, before perhaps hiring a bicycle and exploring the surrounding area.

Journey back to Cairo and experience the pandemonium of the Khan al-Khalili bazaar before heading onwards to Jordan.

Get to know the bustling and colourful capital of Jordan, a place where ancient and modern worlds collide. Perhaps visit some of the local cafes and bars and sample some delicious local food, or spend some time in an inspiring art gallery.

Stop off at Madaba and pay a visit to the 19th century Greek Othodox St. George’s Church, where the mosaic map offers the main attraction. Continue on towards the Dead Sea and witness the views from Mt. Nebo en route.

Be amazed by Petra, one of the new Seven Wonders of the World and a true highlight of the trip. Explore the surrounds of this ancient site and perhaps embark on a challenging but rewarding walk up the steps to the Monastery.

Discover the less well-known site of Little Petra, home to staggeringly beautiful 2000-year-old cave paintings. After lunch, make tracks to Aqaba – Jordan’s only sea port.

Traverse some of the most sublime desert landscapes on the planet during a 4-hour 4WD safari. Discover lunar-like formations, traces of ancient civilisations, natural rock bridges and rocky peaks.

Why not pick up some souvenirs to mark the end of this adventure, and perhaps visit the Roman Theatre to ensure the tour ends on a high note.
