Sights Visited on This Tour

The modern and ancient capital of Jordan is one of the oldest inhabited cities. The city's modern buildings blend amazingly with the remnants of ancient civilizations.

Sunniest city of Egypt and a popular touristic stop for many cruises. The local market here is an excellent place to do some shopping and to find Egyptian fresh spices.

Cairo is the sprawling capital city of Egypt, located on the banks of the Nile River, known for its rich history, vibrant culture, and bustling city life.

“Gold” in Arabic, the city’s name was inspired from the golden sands by the Red Sea coast. Dahab offers Oceanside dinners and crystal-clear waters for diving and snorkeling.

Dead Sea is a 30 minute drive from Amman and you reach this unique spot in Jordan. It brings a sense of unreality to any traveler passing through.

Edfu has the most complete and best-preserved temple in Egypt, the Ptolemaic Temple of Horus, which was constructed between 237 BC and 57 BC

The Great Pyramid of Giza is one of the seven wonders of the ancient world and the only one still remaining to this day. An absolute must see.

Kom Ombo means ‘hill of the gold’ crowned with Temple of Komombo. The temple is unusual as one side is dedicated to the god Haroesis and the other side to Sobek.

A top travel destination in Egypt with a wealth of historic monuments and buildings bringing Egypt’s fabled past to life. Luxor is called the world’s greatest open air museum.

The incredible Petra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is described as ‘one of the most precious cultural properties of mankind's cultural heritage'.

Philae Temple, a beautiful temple complex is one of the most picturesque in all of Egypt. It sits on Aglika Island just south of the old Aswan Dam.

Shobak is a Crusader castle on the eastern side of the Arabah, perched on the side of a rocky, conical mountain looking out over fruit trees below.

Absolutely stunning in its natural beauty, Wadi Rum summarizes the romance of the desert. You may meet some friendly Bedouins living close by.

An unbelievable trip, I loved it! The Egypt part was incredible, so ably lead by super Egyptologist Mo whose knowledge and stories are endless; quite surreal at times to be visiting these amazing pyramids and temples and hearing such insight. The cruise exceeded expectations of comfort and relaxation and provided a great balance to the days of early starts and adventuring. Accommodation and food all great, the overnight train is an experience (just don’t expect 5 star!) and much better than spending the equivalent time on a bus. I would certainly recommended adding the time in Jordan as well, it blew me away. Wow, what a stunning country of incredible sites, like Wadi Rum and Petra, only enhanced by the warmth and friendliness of the local Jordanians. Omar was an incredible guide, so personable and passionate about his country, and open to sharing it with us. I’d love to return and see even more! Thank you to all the Travel talk team who helped with bookings, extras, hotels etc, but especially Neil in Jordan for his incredible customer service and issue resolution. Would absolutely recommend this tour, just book it, you will not regret it!

What an amazing trip. The itinerary was fantastic, hitting all the sight that we wanted to see at a great pace. Some days are busy, with early starts but there is also time to rest and recharge.
The group had a great mix of age, gender and nationality. We all got on well and enjoyed free time together.
The guides were awesome. Momo in Egypt was so knowledgeable, funny and caring and went above and beyond to make our trip memorable. Faisal, in Jordan was lovely and really took time to get to know everyone. Overall, a fantastic experience. Highly recommended!!!
