Frequently Asked Questions About Egypt & Jordan
How many days do I need for Egypt and Jordan?
Choose the 8-day Discovery route for a compact Cairo, Luxor and Jordan itinerary. The 10-day Grand Tour adds a three-night Nile cruise and visits Petra from an Amman base. The 14-day Grand Tour adds Alexandria, more Cairo-area sightseeing, a Wadi Rum camp night and a Dead Sea hotel night. The 13-day USA and Toronto packages count the outbound international travel day within the trip.
Do all Egypt and Jordan tours include a Nile cruise?
No. The 8-day Discovery tour visits Luxor with a hotel night rather than a multi-night cruise. The 10- and 14-day Grand Tours include three cruise nights. The 13-day USA and Toronto packages list four cruise nights. Compare the day-by-day itinerary and inclusions before choosing.
Is the flight from Cairo to Amman included?
It is excluded from the standard 8-, 10- and 14-day packages. Those packages include the domestic Egypt flights listed in their itineraries, but the Egypt-to-Jordan connection must be arranged separately. The 13-day USA and Toronto packages list Cairo-to-Amman airfare as included. Confirm the routing and flight times for your dates before booking separate tickets.
Which tours include Wadi Rum and a desert camp stay?
The 8-day Discovery and the 13-day USA and Toronto packages include a Wadi Rum jeep excursion, followed by travel to Amman; they do not include a Wadi Rum camp night. The 14-day Grand Tour includes a jeep safari and one desert camp night. Wadi Rum is not part of the published 10-day Grand Tour.
Is the Dead Sea included in every package?
No. The 10-day Grand Tour includes a Dead Sea visit, while the 14-day route includes an overnight stay there. The published day-by-day programs for the 8-day Discovery and 13-day USA and Toronto packages do not list a Dead Sea visit. If it is a priority, select the appropriate route or request a written proposal for an added stay.
Can I book an Egypt and Jordan tour with international flights?
Yes. The 13-day packages offer the international airfare specified on their tour pages: the USA option lists New York JFK/EWR and Washington Dulles IAD gateways, and the Toronto option departs from YYZ. Travel to a departure gateway is not automatically included. Confirm the airport, airline routing, baggage allowance and final fare for your dates.
Will we have one guide throughout both countries?
Guiding and transport arrangements depend on the selected package. Do not assume one escort accompanies you throughout both countries. The 13-day packages describe English-speaking guiding in Egypt, drivers in Jordan and a specified guided visit at Petra. Check which sightseeing visits include a guide and which transfers are driver services.
Can I add Turkey or request a different itinerary?
Yes. This collection also includes a 21-day Egypt, Jordan and Turkey itinerary, clearly labeled as a three-country journey. For a different pace, extra hotel nights or an alternative combination, send your dates and preferred stops through Plan My Trip. Changes, availability and any additional cost must be confirmed in your written proposal.
