Short on time but set on seeing three countries? This 5 day Israel Jordan Egypt tour covers Jerusalem and Bethlehem, a guided day in Petra and two full days in Cairo, with the transfers and border crossings arranged for you. It starts in Tel Aviv and ends at Cairo Airport, so it also works as a one-way route from Israel into Egypt.
Day 1 is a full-day tour of Jerusalem and Bethlehem, followed by a hotel night. On day 2 you cross into Jordan for Petra and a local lunch, then return through Israel to the Taba crossing and travel overnight by air-conditioned car to Cairo. Day 3 brings the Pyramids, the Sphinx, the market and the museum, day 4 covers Saqqara and Old Cairo, and day 5 is your transfer to the airport.
The 5 day Israel Jordan Egypt tour is built for travelers with a tight schedule, families who want an educational trip with their kids, and visitors who have already seen the rest of Israel. The overnight drive to Cairo is what makes three countries fit into five days, because it turns travel time into night time. If you prefer more hotel nights and a slower pace, one of our longer routes will suit you better.
Pickup on day 1 is at the meeting point at the Dan Hotel in Tel Aviv between 07:15 and 07:30, and pickup in Cairo on day 4 is at 08:00. The tour includes 3 hotel nights, 1 after the Jerusalem day and 2 in Cairo, while the night of day 2 is spent on the road. Choose 3-star, 4-star or 5-star hotels, priced per person in a double room for 2 or more travelers or as 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 the hotel nights are pre-paid.

Numbers match the itinerary below. Solid lines are walking legs, dashed lines are drives. Map is for orientation only.
Your guide introduces you to Jerusalem, a city sacred to Jews, Christians and Muslims, with time in the Old City of Jerusalem. Wear modest clothing, as the day includes holy sites.
Continue to Bethlehem, honored as the birthplace of Jesus. Bethlehem is in Area A of the West Bank, so carry your passport. Israeli citizens cannot enter.
After the tour you check in to your hotel for the night. Hotel details are sent in your voucher after booking confirmation.
Transfer to the border and cross into Jordan. Keep your passport and cash for the border fees close at hand.
Your guide leads you through Petra, from the Treasury to the Roman theater, the burial halls and the temples. Lunch is served at a local restaurant with a wide choice of Middle Eastern dishes.
You travel through the night to Cairo, so there is no hotel tonight. Bring a neck pillow and a warm layer to rest on the road.
You reach Cairo in the morning and start a full day of touring at the Pyramids of Giza and the Sphinx. The scale of the Great Pyramid is something photos never quite capture.
The tour continues into the city for time at the market and a visit to the museum and its ancient treasures. It is a full day after the night drive, so pace yourself.
Dinner and the night are in Cairo. Your hotel name is sent in the voucher after booking confirmation.
Pickup from your Cairo hotel is at 08:00 for another full day of touring.
Drive to Saqqara, the ancient burial ground of Memphis, home to the Step Pyramid of Djoser. It is one of the oldest large stone monuments on Earth.
Return to the city to explore the Old City of Cairo, one of the most historic quarters of the capital. Lunch is included today.
Spend your last night at your Cairo hotel. Pack the evening before, as tomorrow is your transfer to the airport.
Check out of your Cairo hotel at the time given in your voucher.
A driver takes you from your hotel to Cairo Airport for your onward flight, which ends the tour.
You choose your pickup city when you book. We confirm the exact pickup time and place by email or WhatsApp the day before the tour.

Yes, it is a strong educational trip for older kids, and a child rate is available on the double room options. Keep in mind the overnight drive and the long touring days, which are tiring for young children.
You need a normal level of fitness. Petra involves a lot of walking on sand and stone, and the overnight drive makes day 3 demanding. Comfortable shoes help a lot.
Spring and autumn are the most comfortable seasons for Petra and Cairo. Summers are very hot, so bring sun protection and water. The tour departs daily, subject to availability. Our Israel, Jordan and Egypt travel guide has more planning tips.
The tour is non-refundable because the hotel nights are paid in advance. If your plans change, contact us and we will check whether a date change is possible. Full details are in our booking terms.
