Egypt: Luxor & Aswan Itinerary

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.

10 Days in Egypt

Egypt, where the mighty Nile weaves its tale through golden deserts and fertile valleys, stands as a beacon of wonder and discovery. For five years, I was blessed to call this place home.

Abu Simbel

Abu Simbel is an ancient temple complex located in southern Egypt, near the border with Sudan. Carved into the sandstone cliffs on the western bank of the Nile River, the temples were built during the reign of Pharaoh Ramesses II in the 13th century BCE. The main temple is dedicated to the gods Amun, Ra-Horakhty, and Ptah, while the smaller temple is dedicated to Ramesses II's wife, Queen Nefertari. Abu Simbel is renowned for its colossal statues of Ramesses II, standing at over 20 meters tall, and its remarkable preservation despite relocation efforts in the 1960s to save it from flooding caused by the construction of the Aswan High Dam. Today, Abu Simbel is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Egypt's most iconic and visited attractions, offering visitors a glimpse into the grandeur of ancient Egyptian civilization.

Huge 13th-century BC monument to Ramesses II, one of two temples relocated when Aswan dam was built.

3 hrs from Aswan BUT worth the Indiana Jones moment!
