Frequently Asked Questions About Turkey, Egypt & Jordan
How long do I need to visit Turkey, Egypt and Jordan?
This collection offers 15-, 17-, 20- and 21-day routes. The two 15-day itineraries cover all three countries without an overnight Nile cruise. The 17-day route adds a three-night cruise. The 20- and 21-day routes also include Ephesus and Pamukkale in western Turkey. Compare country order, overnight stays and flight inclusions as well as total duration.
What is the difference between the two 15-day tours?
The 15 Days Turkey, Jordan and Egypt Highlights Tour starts in Istanbul and finishes in Cairo. It includes Istanbul–Amman and Amman–Cairo flights, a Bosphorus cruise and two Luxor hotel nights. The 15-Day Turkey, Egypt and Jordan Tour also starts in Istanbul but visits Egypt before Jordan, ending with a Dead Sea stay and an Amman Airport transfer. It includes one Luxor hotel night and two Petra nights, and excludes Istanbul–Cairo and Cairo–Amman airfare.
Are flights between the three countries included?
The 15-day Turkey–Jordan–Egypt Highlights route includes Istanbul–Amman and Amman–Cairo flights. The 21-day Egypt–Jordan–Turkey route includes Cairo–Amman and Amman–Istanbul flights. The 15-day Turkey–Egypt–Jordan and 17-day routes exclude Istanbul–Cairo and Cairo–Amman flights; the 20-day route excludes Cairo–Amman and Amman–Istanbul flights. Home-country arrival and departure flights are excluded from all five packages. Check the selected itinerary for its separate domestic flight inclusions.
Which tours include an overnight Nile cruise?
The 17- and 21-day routes each include three nights aboard a Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor. The 20-day route includes four nights from Luxor to Aswan. Both 15-day routes visit Luxor with hotel accommodation instead. Cruise and sightseeing order may be adjusted around confirmed sailing dates and flight schedules; confirm the final arrangements before booking separate connections.
Do all five tours include Petra, Wadi Rum and the Dead Sea?
Yes. Each published itinerary includes Petra sightseeing, a Wadi Rum jeep excursion and desert camp night, and a Dead Sea hotel stay. The 20-day route includes two Dead Sea nights; the other four include one. Petra nights, jeep duration and included meals vary, so use the detailed program for the selected package.
Which itineraries visit Ephesus and Pamukkale?
The 20- and 21-day routes include both Ephesus and Pamukkale. The 21-day route includes a Pamukkale hotel night and three Cappadocia nights; the 20-day route visits Pamukkale before continuing to Kusadasi and includes two Cappadocia nights. The two 15-day routes and the 17-day route focus their Turkey sightseeing on Istanbul and Cappadocia.
Are the tours private, and is the Cappadocia balloon ride included?
The published service model combines shared sightseeing in Turkey with private touring in Egypt and Jordan. In Jordan, an English-speaking driver and local site guides provide the services specified in each itinerary; this does not mean one guide escorts the whole journey. Ask for a written quote if you prefer private Turkey sightseeing. The Cappadocia hot air balloon flight is an optional extra and operates subject to weather and official permission.
Can I change the route or add extra nights?
Yes, you can request a customized itinerary through Plan My Trip. Share your travel dates, preferred starting and finishing cities, room arrangements and must-see places. Extra nights, hotel changes, flight arrangements and private sightseeing upgrades depend on availability and a revised written quote. Confirm all changes and the applicable booking terms before making separate travel arrangements.
