Crusaders, Petra & Pyramids (Family)
15 days from US $3,390 pp twin share
Arriving in Cairo, we visit the Egyptian Museum, pyramids and Sphinx. Further south we ride camels and take a sailboat trip around Aswan's islands. A relaxing Nile cruise then brings us to Luxor, where we visit Karnak Temple and the Valley of the Kings before returning to Cairo. A morning is spent exploring the bustling, centuries-old Khan el Khalili Bazaar. Mt Sinai is the next stop, before crossing into Jordan, where we spend a night in a traditional Bedouin camp deep in the spectacular setting of Wadi Rum – a real highlight! We take a full day to discover the amazing city of Petra, visit a Crusader castle, and swim (or float!) in the Dead Sea, before our adventure ends in Amman.
