Insider's view Egypt and Jordan - Two countries with ample natural beauty, teamed with some of the most spectacular sites. What I like about this tour is that there is something for everyone, from the overpowering architecture of the pyramids and trekking Mt. Sinai, to the crystal waters of the Red Sea and the salt laden waters of the Dead Sea. Plus much more!
