5.00/5 (2 reviews)

Overview

The Pyramids of Giza are your starting point for eight days connecting Egypt’s ancient monuments with Jordan’s sandstone cities and desert landscapes. Begin in Cairo, with arrival transfers arranged and time to settle in. Your private guide brings context to the Sphinx and Egyptian Museum, while Khan El Khalil Bazaar gives you space to practice bargaining. In Luxor, the Valley of the Kings and Queen Hatshepsut’s temple reveal another side of ancient Egypt. Karnak Temple and Luxor Temple complete your look at both banks. Jordan changes the pace: float in the Dead Sea, then walk through Petra’s narrow Siq toward the Treasury. Your private local guide leads a 2.5-hour visit to Petra, followed by time to explore independently. Bring comfortable shoes and sun protection for the archaeological sites. A night at a Wadi Rum camp includes dinner, and a three-hour jeep ride takes your party to rock inscriptions, dunes, and Khazali Canyon. Aqaba adds the Red Sea coast before your finish in Amman. Seven nights, private air-conditioned road transport, and scheduled meals anchor the package. You’ll arrange and purchase the Cairo–Amman flight separately. Start in Cairo any day, with a minimum booking of two people.
