This 10 day Israel Jordan Egypt tour is the classic way to see the Holy Land, Petra and the Pyramids in a single booking. Your first five nights are in Tel Aviv, with guided day trips to the Galilee, the northern coast, Jerusalem and Bethlehem, and Masada and the Dead Sea. Then you fly south, cross into Jordan for Petra and a night with the Bedouin in Wadi Rum, and finish with three nights in Cairo.
Day 1 is your arrival, with a transfer from Ben Gurion Airport to your Tel Aviv hotel. Day 2 covers Nazareth and the Sea of Galilee, day 3 Caesarea, Haifa, Rosh Hanikra and Acre, day 4 Jerusalem and Bethlehem, and day 5 Masada and the Dead Sea. On day 6 you fly to Ramon Airport near Eilat and cross into Jordan for a guided day in Petra. Day 7 starts with a jeep ride in Wadi Rum before the long overland journey to Cairo. Days 8 and 9 take in the Pyramids, the Sphinx, the Egyptian Museum, Saqqara and Old Cairo, and day 10 ends with your airport transfer.
Compared with faster routes, this 10 day Israel Jordan Egypt tour keeps you in the same city for the whole Israel part, so you unpack once and travel light on the day trips. It is a strong choice for Christian pilgrims and first-time visitors, since it includes Nazareth, Capernaum, the Via Dolorosa and the Church of the Nativity. It also gives Cairo two full touring days instead of one rushed afternoon, which makes the Egyptian part far more relaxed.
The Israel day tours start from the Dan Hotel meeting point in Tel Aviv between 07:15 and 07:30, and the Petra day starts with a 04:30 hotel pickup. The package includes 9 nights with breakfast, a domestic flight, lunch in Petra and on the Cairo tours, dinner in Wadi Rum and entrance fees to the main sites. Choose 3-star, 4-star or 5-star hotels in a double room for 2 or more travelers, or a single room if you travel solo. The booking form shows the exact price for your hotel level and travelers. The tour departs daily, subject to availability, and it is non-refundable because hotels and flights are pre-paid. Want more time?

You pass Cana on the way to the Mount of Beatitudes and Capernaum on the shore of the Sea of Galilee. The day ends at Yardenit, where you can join an optional baptism, and with a view of Mount Tabor before you return to Tel Aviv for the night.
From the same meeting point at 07:15 you head up the coast to Caesarea, with its Roman theater and hippodrome. In Haifa you see the Bahai Gardens and Shrine, then ride the cable car down to the sea grottoes at Rosh Hanikra. The last stop is Acre, with its Crusader city and old Turkish prison, before you return to Tel Aviv for the night.
Start at the Mount of Olives and the Garden of Gethsemane, then enter the Old City through Zion Gate to see the Jewish Quarter, the Western Wall, the Via Dolorosa and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. After time in the Old City market, you cross to Bethlehem for Manger Square and the Church of the Nativity. Bring your passport today, as Bethlehem is in the West Bank. You return to Tel Aviv for the night.
Drive through the Judean Desert to Masada and take the cable car up to Herod's palaces, the bathhouse and the Roman barracks. In the afternoon you swim and float in the Dead Sea, the lowest place on Earth. You spend your last night in Tel Aviv.
An early 04:30 pickup takes you to Ben Gurion Airport for the domestic flight to Ramon Airport, followed by a shuttle to the border and the crossing into Jordan. A qualified local guide shows you Petra, from the Siq to the Treasury and the amphitheater, and lunch is included. The evening is spent in a Bedouin-style desert camp in Wadi Rum, where dinner is included and you sleep in a tent.
After breakfast you take a jeep tour of about 1.5 hours through the red sand and rock towers of Wadi Rum. You then transfer back to the Israeli border and on to the Egyptian border at Taba. The overland drive to Cairo takes about 10 hours with stops, and you check in to your Cairo hotel for the night.
A full guided day in Cairo starts at the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx. You also visit the Egyptian Museum, which holds a vast collection of statues, masks, coins and other treasures. Breakfast and lunch are included, and you spend the night in Cairo.
Today you drive to Saqqara to see the Step Pyramid of Djoser, one of the oldest stone buildings in the world. Back in the city, you explore Old Cairo with its churches and old fortifications. Breakfast and lunch are included, and it is your last night in Cairo.
After breakfast you have a transfer from your hotel to Cairo Airport for your flight home. If you want more time in Egypt, you can add a post-tour night or an Alexandria day tour when you book. This is the end of the tour.
