Ancient Encounters
If your travel dreams include both pyramids and Petra, the "Ancient Encounters" tour delivers an epic 16-day odyssey across Egypt and Jordan. This active and outdoor trip is ideal for those wanting the full sweep of ancient wonders, stunning landscapes, and immersive cultural experiences.
Begin in Cairo, standing before the Pyramids of Giza, Sphinx, and marveling at treasures in the Egyptian Museum. Wander the vibrant Khan el-Khalili bazaar before embarking on a luxurious five-star Nile cruise from Luxor to Aswan. Along the way, explore Karnak Temple, the Valley of the Kings, and the temples of Edfu and Kom Ombo. In Aswan, sail a felucca and consider an excursion to Abu Simbel for a true highlight.
Fly to Amman and discover Jordan’s capital, the historic town of As-Salt, and embark on a food tasting tour. Hike in the Dana Biosphere Reserve, relax in Aqaba on the Red Sea, and experience a night in a Bedouin camp in the magical Wadi Rum desert. Petra’s back-route hike brings you face-to-face with the Treasury and Monastery, far from the crowds.
Float in the Dead Sea, hike Wadi Mujib’s scenic gorge, and explore Madaba’s mosaics, Mt. Nebo’s panoramic views, and the impressive ruins of Jerash. With carefully chosen accommodations and expert guides, this trip is both comfortable and richly rewarding.
