Discover the ancient wonders of Jordan and Egypt on this 13-day journey from the Dead Sea to Cairo, including a three-night Nile River cruise aboard a luxury riverboat.

Explore the ancient city of Petra, carved into rose-colored sandstone cliffs, before continuing to Egypt. Discover the monumental temples of Abu Simbel, built during the reign of Ramesses II, and the Temple of Isis at Philae on Agilkia Island. Cruise the Nile from Aswan to Luxor, visiting the temples of Kom Ombo, the Valley of the Kings and the tomb of Tutankhamun, and Luxor's Avenue of Sphinxes. Spend three nights at the historic Mena House in Giza, your base for exploring the Great Pyramid and the Sphinx with an expert Egyptologist.
