04 Days Egypt and Jordan Tour 2026
Overview
Egypt and Jordan are the two greatest ancient-world destinations in the Middle East — and together they create one of the finest combined travel experiences on earth. In Egypt, you stand inside the Pyramids of Giza, sail the Nile past temples built 3,500 years ago, and descend into the painted tombs of the Valley of the Kings. In Jordan, you walk the ancient Siq to the rose-red facade of Petra — one of the New Seven Wonders of the World — camp under the stars in Wadi Rum desert, and float in the mineral-rich waters of the Dead Sea. Egypt For Travel combines both into a seamless private tour with daily departures year-round.

Why Combine Egypt and Jordan?
Egypt and Jordan share a border, a history, and a cultural world that makes combining them the obvious decision for any serious Middle East traveler. Egypt gives you the oldest monumental civilisation on earth — 4,500 years of Pharaonic history compressed into two weeks of temples, tombs and museums. Jordan gives you the most dramatically beautiful ancient city ever built — Petra, carved by the Nabataeans into rose-red sandstone cliffs, discovered in 1812 and still astonishing every visitor who walks the Siq for the first time. Together, they cover 5,000 years of human achievement in the world’s most historically significant region. Egypt For Travel has been combining these two countries in seamless private itineraries for international clients for years — ETA Category A Licence No. 1947.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need separate visas for Egypt and Jordan?
Yes — you need a visa for both countries. Egypt: $25 tourist visa on arrival at Cairo Airport or e-visa online (see our Egypt Visa Guide 2026). Jordan: the Jordan Pass ($70–$100 depending on Petra visits included) covers the entry visa AND entrance to 40+ Jordan attractions including Petra — making it the best value option for tourists. Egypt For Travel confirms visa requirements for your specific nationality at booking and can arrange visa assistance for both countries.
What is the best time for an Egypt and Jordan combined tour?
October to April is ideal for both countries — comfortable temperatures throughout (18–26°C in Egypt, 15–22°C in Jordan). March and April bring spring wildflowers to Jordan’s highlands. December and January are the coolest months but also the most scenic. Summer (June–August) is hot in both countries — manageable with early morning starts and good planning. See our complete Best Time to Visit Egypt guide for season-by-season detail.
Is it safe to travel to Jordan?
Yes — Jordan is consistently rated one of the safest countries in the Middle East for international tourists. Petra, Wadi Rum, the Dead Sea, Jerash and Amman all have well-developed tourism infrastructure and are safe for all nationalities. Jordan’s government has consistently prioritised tourism safety. Egypt For Travel’s licensed local Jordanian guides have operated tours for international clients for years without incident.
