Tour Overview
Jordan and Egypt are home to some of the most dramatic sights of the Middle East. We explore Petra and the Pyramids, both sites unrivalled in their magnificence. The scenery too is breathtaking as we camp under the stars in Wadi Rum and have the chance to climb the fabled Mount Sinai, holy to many and offering wonderful views over the surrounding desert landscape. With a couple of days to relax in Aqaba and also on the Red Sea coast of Egypt, both offering fantastic swimming and snorkelling opportunities, this trip is ideal for all the family.
