Egypt with Nile Cruise and Treasures of Jordan 2028 - 13 days from Cairo to Dead Sea

That calendar you live by—the one with 365 days divided into 12 months—you can thank the ancient Egyptians for the handy invention that helps you manage your time. In this 13-day vacation, you’ll marvel at many other amazing accomplishments of this remarkable civilization. The daunting Great Pyramids of Giza, the enigmatic Great Sphinx of Giza, and the extraordinary temples of Luxor and Karnak are well worth the journey as are the sparkling treasures inside Cairo’s Grand Egyptian Museum, including the fascinating burial items from the opulent tomb of “King Tut.” As you sail down the legendary Nile from Luxor to Aswan on this enthralling tour of Egypt, you’ll also stand in awe at the Kom Ombo Temple, barter for goods at the bustling bazaars, and sway to the rhythmic drums on a relaxing felucca ride down the Nile.

But the adventure doesn’t end there. Your desert dreams awaken even more mystery with the treasures of Jordan—from 4-wheeling in the red landscapes of Wadi Rum where your camp feels close enough to reach out and touch the stars above, to the spectacular sandstone monolith of Petra, where the Treasury conjures visions of Indiana Jones and ancient rulers resting in the ancient sandstone tombs. Sip tea in the ancient tradition and soak in the ancient sites surrounding the Dead Sea, where some of civilization’s earliest history was recorded amid the landscapes where Moses is said to have viewed the Promised Land. A Bedouin experience to rival Lawrence of Arabia in color, scope, and sheer beauty.
