A private Egypt, Jordan and Israel tour: pharaohs, Petra and Jerusalem
This private Egypt, Jordan and Israel tour joins three of the oldest lands on earth in one unhurried journey. Egypt comes first: the Pyramids and Saqqara, Old Cairo and the Egyptian Museum, a night in Luxor and four nights aboard the ultra-luxury Historia, ending with Abu Simbel.
From there you fly to Amman for Petra and Wadi Rum, then cross into Israel for five nights in Jerusalem at the American Colony, with Bethlehem, the Mount of Olives and the Old City, before a final day in Nazareth and Galilee. Each country has its own private guide, and visas for all three are included.
Journey highlights
- The Pyramids and Saqqara, with a camel ride on the Giza plateau
- Four nights on the Historia, one of the finest boats on the Nile
- Abu Simbel before you leave Egypt
- Petra and Wadi Rum, the rose-red city and the desert beyond
- Five nights in Jerusalem: the Old City, the Western Wall Tunnels and the Mount of Olives
- Bethlehem, Nazareth and the Sea of Galilee to close the journey
