13-Day Egypt and Jordan Landmarks Tour with Cairo to Amman Flight
This 13-day Egypt and Jordan tour combines the ancient monuments of the Nile Valley with the red-rock landscapes of southern Jordan, linking both countries by direct flight from Cairo to Amman. The itinerary travels by sleeper train, five-star cruise ship on the Nile, and modern road transport, keeping logistics seamless throughout.
Egypt occupies the first eight days, taking travelers from the Giza Plateau and the Grand Egyptian Museum through Luxor, Edfu, Kom Ombo, and Aswan aboard a five-day Nile cruise. Every meal on the cruise is an open buffet, and evening entertainment ranges from belly-dancer performances to traditional Nubian shows.
Jordan fills the final five days with trekking in Dana Nature Reserve, a full day inside the Nabataean city of Petra, a jeep safari and overnight Bedouin camp in Wadi Rum, and a guided city tour of Amman covering the Citadel, Al-Balad downtown, and the Roman Theater. The program ends with a transfer to Queen Alia International Airport.
Accommodation throughout is rated four stars on land and five stars on the Nile cruise, and every guided excursion is included in the single published price, with no supplementary charges added at the sites.
Tour Highlights
Walk among the Pyramids of Giza and the Great Sphinx, two of the most recognizable structures in human history, with an Egyptologist guide explaining their construction and significance.
Sail the Nile for five days on a five-star cruise ship, stopping at the temples of Karnak, Edfu, Kom Ombo, and the Philae island sanctuary of the goddess Isis.
Travel between Cairo and Luxor, and later between Aswan and Cairo, aboard Egypt's iconic overnight sleeper train, with meals served on board.
Enter the ancient Nabataean city of Petra through the Siq canyon and stand before Al-Khazneh, the 45-meter carved Treasury that is counted among the Seven Wonders of the Modern World.
Explore Wadi Rum on a two-hour jeep safari across multi-colored canyons and sandstone dunes, followed by a barbecue night at a Bedouin camp inside the protected reserve.
Trek through Dana Nature Reserve, Jordan's largest protected natural area, discovering canyon landscapes and biodiversity on the way to the Petra region.
A direct flight connects Cairo to Amman mid-tour, removing the need for any overland border crossing between Egypt and Jordan.
