Journey Through Egypt and Jordan

Feel as if you’ve stepped into another time as you enter a world of legends, relics, and indescribable beauty. Eons of history and iconic wonders, mouthwatering bites of savory cuisine, and stretching sunsets fading against the desert horizon – discover the essence of Jordan and Egypt.

Your adventure starts in Amman, the capital of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. Meet your Jordanian Tour Manager who will accompany you throughout your time in this Middle Eastern country. As arrival times will vary, there are no scheduled activities today, allowing you to settle in at your own pace and take time to adjust to the new time zone.

This morning, tour Amman, a city built on seven hills, with a rich history spanning nearly 10,000 years. Pause for lunch at a local restaurant, indulging in meze - a large variety of small sharing plates showcasing the exotic flavors of the Levant. This afternoon, take in Jordan’s rocky landscape during your four-hour journey to Petra, the fabled “Rose Red City.” At your hotel, connect with your fellow travelers at a welcome dinner.

At daybreak, weave along sandstone carvings as you tour the vast archeological site of Petra. Serving as a crossroads between the Red Sea and the Dead Sea, Petra contains ages of hidden wonders just waiting to be explored. Take advantage of an afternoon at leisure to adventure further on your own. Perhaps you’ll trek up the 850 steps to the “Monastery,” one of Petra’s legendary monuments. In the evening, roll up your sleeves and join an authentic Arabic cooking class in a local home. During this Impact Moment, learn about the evolving role of women in Jordanian society as you chat about Bedouin traditions, ingredients, and recipes from your host. Dig into dinner family-style before returning to your hotel for the night.
