About This Tour
A two-country adventure that opens with Cairo, Luxor, and a Nile cruise to Aswan, then continues overland into Jordan to Petra, Wadi Rum, and the Dead Sea. This is a genuine two-country combination trip. Seven nights are in Egypt (Cairo, then a Nile cruise from Luxor to Aswan), before a flight to Amman starts six nights in Jordan covering Jerash, the Dead Sea, Wadi Rum, and Petra — every night's hotel is confirmed in whichever country you're actually in that day, and the trip ends in Amman rather than Cairo.

Frequently Asked Questions
It genuinely crosses into Jordan. After 7 days in Egypt (Cairo and a Luxor–Aswan Nile cruise), you fly to Amman and spend 6 more days in Jordan visiting Jerash, the Dead Sea, Wadi Rum, and Petra. The trip ends in Amman, not Cairo.
Yes — Jordan requires its own visa or visa-on-arrival separate from Egypt's, and international flight/visa costs for the Cairo–Amman leg aren't included in the land package. We'll walk you through what's needed for both countries.
Yes — it's a genuine multi-day cruise from Luxor to Aswan with its own cabins and crew, identical in nature to the cruise segment on our other Egypt trips.
This itinerary is built around a one-way route ending in Amman. If you'd rather stay within Egypt, our Egypt-only itineraries (like Nile Legends & Pyramid Paths) cover similar ground without crossing the border.
