This seven-day egypt and jordan tour brings together two countries and five cities, beginning among Cairo’s ancient monuments before continuing to Amman, Petra, Madaba, Mount Nebo and the Dead Sea. The itinerary includes six hotel nights, guided archaeological visits, private ground transportation and selected lunches, with departures available every day.
Three nights are spent in Cairo, where the program covers the Great Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, the Valley Temple, Sakkara and the Step Pyramid of Djoser. A separate day focuses on the Grand Egyptian Museum, home to more than 100,000 artefacts spanning around 5,000 years, including the complete Tutankhamun collection displayed together.
The second half of the itinerary is based in Amman for three nights. From the Jordanian capital, you travel to Mount Nebo and Madaba before spending time at the Dead Sea, then make a full-day trip to Petra, entering the archaeological city through the Siq and visiting its principal monuments with a local English-speaking guide.
Travel between Cairo and Amman is by air, although the international flight itself is not included in the package. Airport assistance, private transfers, hotel accommodation with breakfast, entrance fees and the sightseeing stated in the itinerary are included, giving travelers a structured route from Egypt’s pyramid fields to Jordan’s Nabataean archaeological sites.

Tipping for guides
Arrive at Cairo International Airport, where an OFT Travel representative meets you and assists with arrival procedures.
A private air-conditioned deluxe vehicle then transfers you to the hotel. On arrival, your representative assists with check-in and reviews the holiday itinerary with you, including the confirmed pick-up arrangements for the tours scheduled during the Cairo stay.
The first day is deliberately kept free of formal sightseeing, allowing the trip to begin with arrival and hotel settlement before the archaeological program starts the following morning.
Begin with breakfast at the hotel before meeting your personal guide for the drive to the Giza Plateau.
The morning focuses on the Great Pyramids of Giza. Walk around the plateau before continuing to the Sphinx and Valley Temple, giving you time to examine the principal monuments that form the Giza pyramid complex.
Lunch follows at an Egyptian restaurant. The afternoon shifts south of central Cairo to Sakkara, where the itinerary includes the archaeological complex and the Step Pyramid of Djoser.
The sequence makes sense historically as well as geographically. Giza presents Egypt’s monumental pyramid fields at their most widely recognized, while Sakkara introduces the earlier Step Pyramid form associated with Djoser.
Breakfast at the hotel is followed by a visit to the Grand Egyptian Museum.
Located approximately two kilometres from the pyramids, the museum presents more than 100,000 objects spanning around 5,000 years of Egyptian history. Its displays include the complete Tutankhamun collection brought together in one museum setting.
The day gives the itinerary a different rhythm from the open-air sites at Giza and Sakkara. Instead of moving between monuments, time is spent examining objects and collections that provide another perspective on ancient Egyptian history.
Lunch is served at an Egyptian restaurant before returning to the hotel for the third night in Cairo.
Have breakfast at the hotel before transferring to Cairo International Airport.
Board your flight to Amman. The airfare for this Cairo–Amman sector is not included in the standard tour package and needs to be arranged separately.
On arrival at Queen Alia International Airport, an OFT Travel representative meets you and provides assistance through customs and immigration procedures. A private transfer then takes you to your Amman hotel.
Check in and spend the first night in Jordan, with the country’s scheduled sightseeing beginning the following day.
Breakfast at the hotel is followed by a drive to Mount Nebo.
The site is traditionally associated with Prophet Moses, who is said to have viewed the Promised Land from this area before his death. The itinerary includes the old monastery and viewpoints extending across the Jordan Valley toward the Dead Sea, Jericho and Jerusalem.
The route continues to Madaba. Here, the main scheduled visit is St. George’s Church, where a sixth-century mosaic map of Palestine survives within the church.
The final part of the day is spent at the Dead Sea. Its unusually high salinity makes floating in the water particularly easy, while the mineral-rich mud has long been associated with bathing and cosmetic treatments.
Time is provided to swim and relax before returning to Amman. The itinerary includes lunch during the day.
An air-conditioned vehicle collects you in Amman for the drive to Petra, a journey described in the source as taking approximately two and a half hours.
Petra was developed by the Nabataeans, with the source dating its beginnings to the sixth century BC. Many of its façades were carved directly into the sandstone walls and rock faces of the surrounding landscape.
From the visitor centre, walk approximately 700 metres toward the entrance of the Siq. This narrow gorge extends for roughly 1,200 metres, with rock walls rising more than 80 metres in places.
Following the Siq is one of the defining parts of the Petra visit because the route itself gradually reveals the archaeological city. Once inside, your local English-speaking guide accompanies you through the principal sights included in the itinerary for approximately three hours.
A short horseback ride is also listed among the package inclusions. Lunch is provided during the Petra touring day.
When the visit ends, retrace the route through the Siq and return by road to Amman for the final night of the trip.
Have breakfast at the hotel before checking out.
At the arranged time, a private transfer takes you to Queen Alia International Airport for your final departure. No sightseeing is scheduled on the last day.
