Tour · 14 nights · with Explore Worldwide
An escorted tour by Explore Worldwide combining Jordan’s Petra and Wadi Rum with Egypt’s Cairo, Luxor and the Red Sea coast, offering archaeological sites, desert nights and Nile felucca sailing over two weeks.
Highlights
Ancient city of Petra and the Siq canyon
Overnight in traditional Bedouin tents in Wadi Rum
Swimming and snorkelling at the Red Sea’s Blue Hole
Sunrise climb of Mount Sinai (optional)
Pyramids and Sphinx at GizaWith the Egyptian Museum
This small-group tour from Explore Worldwide begins in Amman, winding through ancient Jerash and Madaba with its Byzantine mosaics before reaching the rose-red cliffs of Petra. Days here give time to follow candlelit trails through rock-carved tombs and to sleep under canvas in the dunes of Wadi Rum, where Bedouin tents come with mattresses and rugs.
Journeys
Crossing into Egypt by ferry, the pace shifts to the Red Sea coast at Dahab with its coral reefs and the Blue Hole’s vertical drop. Climbing into the Sinai mountains, the chance to wake early and see the sunrise from Mount Sinai contrasts sharply with the restless buzz of Cairo and its sprawling souks. In Giza, examining the Pyramids and Sphinx precedes an overnight sleeper train to Luxor.
Luxor and the Nile bring a pause to the desert heat: temple columns wide enough to drive a chariot between, a felucca sail flapping on the river breeze, and tombs hewn beneath the West Bank cliffs. There are optional hot air balloon flights and local restaurants sitting close to where pharaohs once ruled. The trip ends here with time to roam the bazaar or linger by the pool.
