Itinerary
This 16-day tour offers a captivating journey through Egypt and Jordan, exploring ancient wonders, vibrant cultures, and stunning landscapes. You'll begin in Cairo, where you'll witness the iconic Pyramids of Giza and delve into Egyptian history at the renowned Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM). But it's not just about the sights, you'll also have the opportunity to savour the local flavours. During your time in Cairo, a traditional Koshary lunch awaits. This beloved Egyptian dish is a delightful mix of rice, lentils, macaroni, and chickpeas, topped with a tangy tomato sauce and crispy fried onions. It's a true culinary adventure for your taste buds!
An overnight sleeper train then transports you to Aswan, the gateway to Nubian culture. Here, you'll visit the majestic Philae Temple, dedicated to the goddess Isis, and experience the unique charm of a traditional Nubian village. Immerse yourself in the vibrant local life, surrounded by brightly painted houses adorned with symbolic patterns. Explore the bustling local markets, brimming with handcrafted souvenirs and aromatic spices, and in the evening, share a delicious home-cooked dinner with a Nubian family, savouring traditional dishes and enjoying their warm hospitality. This immersive experience allows you to connect with the Nubian people and their rich cultural heritage.
Next, you'll embark on a felucca sailing trip down the Nile, offering a tranquil and authentic perspective of rural Egyptian life. You'll continue to Luxor, exploring the magnificent Karnak and Luxor Temples, as well as the Valley of the Kings, before returning to Cairo for further exploration.
The journey then takes you from the shores of Egypt across the Red Sea to Jordan. You'll board a ferry that will transport you to the captivating desert landscapes of Wadi Rum. Here, you'll spend a night in a Bedouin camp, enjoying traditional Jordanian cuisine like 'Zarb', a dish of lamb and chicken cooked underground in Bedouin style. The next day, embark on a jeep safari through the dramatic desert landscape, stopping to climb sand dunes and admire towering rock formations. You'll also have the chance to engage in authentic Bedouin activities, like walking with a shepherd, learning about sheep shearing, and even trying your hand at bread making.
From Wadi Rum, you'll journey to the lost city of Petra, exploring this ancient Nabataean wonder via a less-crowded back route that offers breathtaking mountain views. You'll also visit Little Petra and the Monastery, before descending into the heart of Petra to marvel at iconic sights like the Treasury. The adventure continues with a visit to the Dead Sea, where you can experience the unique sensation of floating effortlessly in its salty waters. You'll also hike the Siq Trail in Wadi Mujib, a thrilling gorge walk through shallow waters and past cascading waterfalls.
The tour concludes with explorations of Jordan's historical and religious sites, including the Byzantine mosaics of Madaba, Mount Nebo where Moses viewed the Promised Land, and the well-preserved Greco-Roman city of Jerash. After a final night in Amman, you'll depart with unforgettable memories of your journey through Egypt and Jordan
