The Petra and Egypt tour takes the reverse direction — you begin in Jordan and end in Egypt. Arriving in Amman, you spend two full days at Petra exploring the Siq, Treasury, Royal Tombs and the Monastery, then a jeep safari through Wadi Rum and the Dead Sea before flying to Cairo. In Egypt you explore the Pyramids of Giza, the Grand Egyptian Museum, Islamic Cairo, and a Nile cruise culminating in a private flight to Abu Simbel — the twin temples of Ramesses II carved into a Nubian cliff, Egypt's most visually dramatic ancient site. Most Egypt and Jordan tours do not include Abu Simbel. This one does.

Tour Details

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.
