Seeing all the ancient wonders, eating amazing food and exploring great cities with an awesome group of people just makes the best memories. Everything was so easy and well organised. Highly recommend
This was a great trip to explore each city. Personally, this felt a bit more independent type travel (exploring the city by yourself or if you made a friend with them) vs other Contikis (more time with the group). Hotels were great and fantastic locations (centrally located near metros and the main train station). Fantastic free time add ons as well.
We couldn’t get you a time machine. But this? This is the next best thing. Over 10 days, you’ll uncover three of our planet’s most renowned ancient civilisations with your 35-45s crew. Zipping through the skies from one historical spot to another - you’ll see the ruins of the Roman empire. The mighty buildings of the Greek world. And of course, the magnificent Pyramids of Giza (all with local guides!). Trust us, your bucket list is gonna love this one.
Discover the amazing wonders of Egypt and Jordan in class and comfort on this extraordinary journey. Face the breathtaking Pyramids, where history comes alive in their towering presence, and greet the enigmatic Sphinx, guardian of these ancient monuments. Uncover the jewels of the Nile on a luxurious 5-star Nile Cruiser, gliding along the river as you take in the timeless beauty of Egypt’s most iconic landmarks. Recharge at the Red Sea paradise of Dahab, where crystal-clear waters and serene beaches offer the perfect escape before your adventure continues.
Cross into Jordan and feel the thrill of a jeep safari in the stunning desert landscape of Wadi Rum, with its dramatic rock formations and vast, echoing expanses. Make your way to magical Petra, the ancient city carved into rose-red cliffs, where every step reveals a new marvel. Stop over at the Dead Sea for a rejuvenating mud bath.
This journey promises an unparalleled exploration of two of the most captivating countries in the Middle East, ensuring memories that will last a lifetime.
