Trip Overview: 

Journey across Egypt and Jordan enjoying an action-packed Family holiday discovering the wonders of the ancient world, as well as exploring the countries' natural treasures. Cairo’s spectacular skyline, plus the rich legacy of the Egyptian Museum, makes it one of the most exotic capitals around the Mediterranean. Setting off on your desert adventure into the barren Sinai Peninsula, you’ll see a biblical wilderness of arid desert and rocky peaks surrounded by coral seas. You’ll climb Mount Sinai to see the sun rise over the mountains, then trek with camels to the Red Sea coast to relax or go snorkelling over some of the world’s finest coral reefs. Journeying into Jordan, you’ll use 4WD vehicles to explore the towering sandstone landscapes of Wadi Rum and camp Bedouin-style underneath the bright stars and clear skies. You continue to Petra, the legendary 'pink city' of the Nabataeans which was hewn by hand from solid rock; your two-night stay gives you plenty of time to explore the site. Then to one of Jordan’s great hidden natural treasures, Dana Nature Reserve, where you’ll walk among its incredible system of wadis and mountains. This is a great family holiday exploring hidden and famous gems of the Middle East!

Trip Photos: 

Petra - Rose Red City

The fabled city of Petra is carved out of the very rock of which Jordan is formed. You have a full day to explore this ancient site on foot. Catching your first glimpse of the Treasury is a sight never to be forgotten.

Wadi Rum

Journeying across the Red Sea, continue into Jordan to Wadi Rum. Here you camp under the stars and gaze up at dramatic rock formations. You will also explore this incredible scenery on an exciting jeep excursion or camel ride (additional charge).

Sinai & the Red Sea

Travelling down the Sinai Peninsula, you visit the pilgrimage site of St. Catherine’s Monastery and have the opportunity to climb Mt. Sinai for sunrise. The finale in Egypt is a camel trek by the Red Sea and snorkelling from relaxed, colourful Dahab.
