Private opening of Edfu Temple at sunrise
Three-night Nile River cruise from Aswan to Luxor
Guided tour of Petra and Petra by Night visit
4x4 tour and stargazing in Wadi Rum desert
This 16-night escorted tour by G Adventures charts a route through two countries rich with history. It begins amid the pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx in Cairo, moves south with an internal flight to Aswan, where travellers board a three-night Nile cruise touching temples like Philae and Kom Ombo. A dedicated visit to Abu Simbel stands out, with its colossal rock temples relocated from the floodwaters.
Journeys
Continuing to Jordan via Amman, the tour takes in Roman era ruins at Jerash and dusk visits to Petra, illuminated as night falls against the sandstone cliffs. Sleeping under the stars is possible with a desert camp stay in Wadi Rum, where silence and stargazing come naturally. Interspersed with community visits and private openings, such as Edfu Temple at sunrise, the holiday mixes iconic archaeology with quieter, human moments.
The travel style is small-group and expert-led, with included internal flights, a variety of transport modes, and hotel, cruise vessel, and camp accommodation. The itinerary reflects an extensive cross-section of ancient empires and modern cultures, connected by landscapes both Nile riverine and desert.
