The Pyramids & Petra tour starts in Cairo and ends in Amman. The Pyramids & Petra is a cultural, religious and historic sites tour that takes 8 days taking you from Cairo to Amman and through other destinations in Africa.

This week long tour to Egypt and Jordan takes you to some of the most popular attractions in both of these beautiful countries, with activities and experience geared to giving you an authentic Middle Eastern experience.

The Egypt leg stays in Cairo, as we explore its Great Pyramids, Sphinx and Egyptian Museum, along with a day in beautiful Old Cairo.

The Jordan leg of the tour takes you to the lowest place on earth at the Dead Sea for a swim and float in its incredibly salty waters.

We'll explore the hills around the restored Dana village amidst the Dana Biosphere Reserve en-route to Jordan's biggest highlight, the hidden city of Petra. After spending some time in the rose-red city, we'll head into the Wadi Rum Desert, where we'll camp underneath the stars with the local Bedouins, learning about their nomadic desert lifestyle.
