| Grand Egypt & Jordan Adventure Tour |
16 days |
Statue at Karnak temple, Egypt
Throughout history Egypt’s vast array of breathtaking monuments has proved an irresistible draw to travellers from all over the world. Jordan's treasures are different, and newer to the world's tourists, but equally impressive and interesting in their own right. Combined with warm and friendly people, Egypt and Jordan are countries you cannot afford to miss. So, let us take you on a journey back in time to some of the most amazing sites of the ancient world, and leave you with memories you will treasure for a lifetime.
We begin in Cairo where we take time to visit possibly the most famous of ancient monuments, The Pyramids and Sphinx. We also allow time to explore the city and its many interesting sites like the Citadel of Saladin, the mazy alleyways of the Khan al Khalili bazaar, and the Cairo Museum with its huge collection, including the treasures of Tutenkhamun's tomb.
Felucca on the Nile, Egypt
Next we head south for
Aswan and the peaceful beauty of the Nile. Here you will find lush green islands and traditional felucca sailboats set amid cascading rapids.
We visit the tranquil island
Temple of Philae and the immense
High Dam, before boarding feluccas on a cruise down the Nile (luxury cruise upgrade available). We visit the temples at
Edfu &
Kom Ombo en-route to
Luxor, where we have plenty of time to visit the massive temples of Luxor & Karnak, the tombs in the Valleys of the Kings, and the temples of Queen Hatchepsut and Medinat Habu.
From Luxor we return to Cairo before saying farewell to the Nile Valley and heading for the coast and the wonderfully laidback beach resort of Dahab where we have a couple of days to relax and enjoy some snorkelling at the Blue Hole. There is also an option available to climb Mt. Sinai and visit St. Catherine's monastery.
The Treasury, Petra, Jordan
Next we head by ferry from Taba to Aqaba in Jordan and have an afternoon jeep safari amidst the stunning desert and mountain scenery of Wadi Rum. We spend the night at a Bedouin camp here before heading to Petra, where we have a full day tour of this world famous Nabatean city.
From Petra we head north up the scenic King's Highway to Amman, with stops to visit the crusader castle of Kerak, the intricate Byzantine mosaics at Madaba, and the peaks, churches and distant views at Mt. Nebo.
We take a day trip out from Amman to bathe in the Dead Sea, and visit the Roman Ruins at Jerash. The tour finishes in Amman.
Note: This is an updated itinerary which will start operating from the 1st May 2008. The tour no longer uses the long overnight coach from Luxor to Dahab, and uses the quicker ferry from Taba to Aqaba instead of from Nuweiba to Aqaba. We're confident these changes will increase your enjoyment of the tour even further.
