14 Day Jordan Egypt Holiday

DAY 1 – Your Jordan and Egypt Trip Begins

When you arrive for your 14-Day Jordan Egypt Holiday, your tour manager will be at Cairo International Airport to meet and greet you, and to assist you in any way possible. Then, in a deluxe air-conditioned vehicle, you will be transferred to the hotel where you will be staying during your time in Cairo.

When you reach the hotel, your tour manager will assist with check-in, and then he or she will discuss the following day’s activities with you, and confirm a pick up time. After this, you will have the rest of the day and/or evening to yourself. You can either relax at the hotel, or else you can head out to explore your surroundings and maybe have a nice dinner at a local restaurant.

Included: Free Welcome Drink

DAY 2 – Visit the Giza Pyraminds, Sakkara, and Memphis

Today is the day your Egypt to Jordan trip begins in earnest, so be sure to enjoy a nice hearty breakfast at your hotel before you are due to be picked up. At the time confirmed with you yesterday, you will be collected, and then you will travel to the famous Giza Plateau to see Egypt’s most famous ancient monuments, the Great Pyramids and the Sphinx.

While at this site, you will also have the chance to explore the Valley Temple, and visit the area’s Solar Boat Museum. However, your Jordan Egypt Holiday package does not include a ticket for the museum, but tickets are available at the site. Once your tour of this site ends, you will then be taken for lunch at a good nearby restaurant.

After lunch, you will travel to the Sakkara Complex, another ancient necropolis where you will be able to see the very first pyramid ever built, the Djoser Step Pyramid. The very first pyramids built by the ancient Egyptians were all step pyramids. There are also a number of other fascinating pyramids to see at Sakkara, so you can be sure that this stop will be just as amazing as your visit to the Giza Plateau.

Next, you will travel to Memphis, the ancient capital of the Old Kingdom. Today, Memphis is most famous for its vast necropolis and its abundance of ancient ruins. Once you have finished exploring the area, you will then make your way back to your hotel, and you will have the evening to yourself.

Meals Included: Breakfast and Lunch

DAY 3 – Extensive Cairo Sightseeing Tour

Today once again begins with a wonderful hotel breakfast, and then at the agreed time, you will be picked up for a full day of spectacular sightseeing in and around Cairo.

In the company of one of our drivers and a private guide, you will first head to the famous Egyptian Museum which is home to nearly a quarter of a million artifacts, including a stunning collection which was retrieved from the tomb of King Tutankhamen. This particular collection is on display in the Treasures Room, and entry to this room is included in your 14-Day Jordan Egypt Holiday package.

The museum also has a Mummies Room which houses a number of authentic Egyptian mummies, all of which are kept in specially designed displays in order to maintain their preservation. We are not able to include tickets to this room in our tours, but tickets are available at the museum if you want to go into the room where the mummies are kept.

After you have had ample time to explore the museum, you will then be taken to a good local restaurant for lunch, and then your tour will continue.

The highlight of today’s tour is will no doubt be your visit to the Temple of Philae. This beautifully preserved temple was moved in its entirety from its original location in order to save it from disappearing below the water following the construction of the Aswan High Dam. When the temple was first built, the ground on which is stood, along with the temple itself, was the most sacred site in all of Egypt.

Finally, you will enjoy a relatively brief stop at the old northern stone quarries to see the massive Unfinished Obelisk, the biggest obelisk ever discovered. After your stop here, you will then make your way to the hotel in Aswan were you will be spending the 4th night of your trip.

Despite all the walking, it is also going to be one of the most memorable days of your Jordan Egypt holiday because you will be visiting one of the most breathtaking ancient monuments under the sun, the Rose Red City of Petra.

Located about a 2.5-hour drive away from Amman, Petra is an ancient city that was carved into the rock faces of a long and incredibly deep gorge/canyon by the Nabatean Arabs, beginning sometime during the 6th century. While there is an abundance of things to see here, the most popular and most spectacular features are the city’s Street of Facades, the Royal Tombs, the Pharaohs Castle, and the indescribable Treasury.

The site is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and it is also listed as one on the New World Wonders. It is without question the best ancient attraction in the country, and one which you will never forget.
