The pyramids, Valley of the Kings, Karnak Temple, Mount Sinai, Wadi Rum, Petra and the Dead Sea this is an outstanding adventure!
The histories of Egypt and Jordan stretch back over the millennia, offering a rich and rewarding experience to travellers. In Egypt, we visit all the major pharaonic sites including the pyramids and Sphinx, Karnak Temple, the Valley of the Kings and the splendid Temple of Queen Hatshepsut. The Egyptian Museum, a three-night Nile cruise and a day visiting medieval Cairo are additional highlights before we drive to Mount Sinai for a spectacular sunrise climb. A hydrofoil then takes us to Jordan where we explore the sandstone landscapes of Wadi Rum, ride camels to our Bedouin camp and spend a night amongst the dunes a memorable experience. We also spend a whole day in the fascinating city of Petra, visit the Crusader castle at Shobak and relax in Dana Village. The final days of our adventure are spent frolicking in the Dead Sea and exploring the remarkably well-preserved Jerash an antediluvian site dating from 70AD.
