A luxury Egypt and Jordan tour: the Nile, Petra and Wadi Rum
This luxury Egypt and Jordan tour links the two great ancient landscapes of the Middle East in eleven private days. In Egypt you see the Pyramids and the Grand Egyptian Museum, sail from Luxor to Aswan on a Nile cruise and fly down to Abu Simbel. Then a short flight takes you to Amman for the Roman city of Jerash, a full day in Petra and a jeep safari in Wadi Rum.
Your trip ends at the Dead Sea. Visas for both countries, domestic flights in Egypt and private guides throughout are included, and you choose from three levels of hotel and cruise, up to the Four Seasons Nile Plaza in Cairo.
