Three countries, one booking: this 15 day Middle East tour joins the temples of Egypt, the ancient cities of Jordan and the skyline of Dubai. You sail the Nile for four nights between Luxor and Aswan, stand before the Pyramids of Giza, walk into Petra and Jerash, then finish with a city tour, a sundowner cruise and a desert adventure in Dubai. Domestic and regional flights, 14 nights of accommodation and guided touring are included.
After you land in Cairo, you fly to Luxor on day 2 and board your Nile cruise for Karnak, the Valley of the Kings, Edfu, Kom Ombo and Aswan. Day 6 brings you back to Cairo for the pyramids, the Sphinx and the Egyptian Museum, and day 7 covers Coptic Cairo, the Citadel and Khan El-Khalili. On day 8 you fly to Amman, then see Madaba, Mount Nebo, Petra and Jerash before an afternoon flight to Dubai on day 11. Days 12 to 14 mix a guided city tour, a free day with an evening cruise and a quad bike desert program, and you fly home on day 15.
This trip suits travelers who want the great sights of the region in one go, without arranging flights, hotels and guides country by country. Fifteen days gives each country real time: almost a week in Egypt, three touring days in Jordan and four nights in Dubai to finish on a lighter note. This 15 day Middle East tour works well for couples, friends and first-time visitors who like a guided plan with a little free time built in.
A driver meets you at Cairo airport on day 1, and the last transfer takes you to the airport on day 15.

Prices are per person when 2 or more travelers share a room, and solo travelers book a single room. Children are welcome, and the booking form shows the exact price for your room type and number of travelers. Visas and taxes are not included. Because hotels, flights and the cruise are pre-paid, the 15 day Middle East tour is non-refundable. Starting from Israel instead?
