  • Duration5 days

  • GuideEnglish
  • Group sizeUp to 15 travelers
  • CancellationNon-refundable: this tour includes pre-paid hotel nights.

Overview

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. For more time, see our Israel, Jordan and Egypt tour, the Petra tour from Eilat or the 2 day Cairo tour from Eilat. Pick a date and book your 5 day Israel Jordan Egypt tour today.

Are visas and border fees included?

No. Jordan and Egypt visa fees and border taxes are not part of the tour price and are paid at the crossings. Bring cash for the fees and check the visa rules for your nationality before you travel. Our Israel Jordan border crossing guide explains each step.

Can Israeli citizens join the Bethlehem part?

No. Bethlehem is in Area A of the West Bank, and Israeli citizens are not allowed to enter. Other travelers need their passport on day 1. Israeli citizens should contact us before booking.

Where does the tour start and end?

It starts at the Dan Hotel meeting point in Tel Aviv between 07:15 and 07:30 on day 1 and ends with a transfer to Cairo Airport on day 5. Book your flight home from Cairo, not from Israel.

Is there a hotel on every night?

No. You have 1 hotel night after the Jerusalem day and 2 hotel nights in Cairo. The night of day 2 is spent traveling by car from Taba to Cairo, so there is no hotel that night.

Which hotel and room options can I choose?

Choose 3-star, 4-star or 5-star hotels. Prices are per person in a double room for 2 or more travelers, or for a single room if you travel solo. You can also add a pre-tour or post-tour hotel night when you book.

Is this tour good for children?

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.

How fit do I need to be?

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.

When is the best time to go?

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.

Can I cancel or change the date?

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.
