Egypt & Jordan Exploration (14 Days)

Egypt & Jordan Exploration (14 Days)

Egypt & Jordan - considered two unbelievable wonders of the world - provide thousands of years of history. This 14-day itinerary has been put together based on a group trip I led for clients back in 2022. It was my 2nd time to Egypt and my first-time to Jordan - both countries should definitely be visited. The itinerary is set-up in a way that you could separate out each country if your schedule only allows for minimal travel days. So in essence, you get 2 country itineraries for the price of 1! Throughout you will experience a dramatic world beyond what you can think, as you enter into two countries filled with legends, history, and indescribable natural beauty. The itinerary includes a visit to the famous Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx and includes a 4-night Nile River Cruise. In Jordan, you will visit Petra, the “Rose Red City” that appears as if it emerged straight from the rock bed. Admire the ethereal landscape of the desert city of Wadi Rum, the “Valley of the Moon.” And, indulge at a deluxe spa resort on the Northern shore of the Dead Sea. We have also added in some key tours, unique experiences and the opporutinity to delve into the culture and flavours of these lands. Hundreds of thousands of years of history and iconic wonders, delicious cuisine, and stretching sunsets fading against the desert horizon – this is Egypt and Jordan. Note, throughout the itinerary we have listed options available for tours or additional stays to extend your trip and encourage a greater experience and immersion into the countries.

Day - 1 - Arrival into Cairo

Most international flights from the U.S. entering into Cairo are overnight. So your international departure from the United States should be booked one-day prior from your planned arrival day.

Today you will land in Cairo and be met prior to immigration and customs by a private guide who will assist you with processing through customs and collecting your luggage. Your driver and guide will bring you into the city center of Cairo to check-in to your hotel for your 4-night stay.

After you check-in and get settled in your hotel, we recommend checking out the hotel's jazz bar for a nice cocktail and evening views of the Nile. If you are feeling a bit more adventurous, there is a great Lebanese restaurant walking distance from the hotel.
