Egypt & Jordan — 10 Days Private Tour

An early start at Giza before the heat and the crowds — the three pyramids, the Sphinx, and the option to go inside the Great Pyramid. Afternoon at the Grand Egyptian Museum, where Tutankhamun's full collection is displayed together for the first time.

A domestic flight south to Aswan. Board your five-star boat, then Philae Temple on its island and a felucca out to the botanical gardens as the light goes gold.

Kom Ombo's double temple to Sobek and Horus, right on the riverbank. Then Edfu — the best-preserved temple in Egypt — reached by horse-drawn carriage. Afternoon on deck watching the valley go by.

Karnak, the largest religious building ever constructed, and its hypostyle hall of 134 columns. Luxor Temple in the evening, lit up and half-empty.

A short flight across to Jordan. Transfer to your hotel in Amman, with the evening free to wander downtown and eat well.

The mosaic map of Madaba, the view from Mount Nebo where Moses is said to have seen the promised land, then the King's Highway south to Petra.

Through the Siq on foot, that first glimpse of the Treasury, then the Royal Tombs, the theatre and — if your legs are willing — the 800 steps up to the Monastery.

The Roman city of Jerash — colonnaded streets, two theatres and an oval forum, all remarkably intact. Afternoon back in Amman, with the citadel if there's time.
