Egypt and Jordan are an obvious pairing: both ancient, both relatively close (1-hour direct flights between Cairo and Amman), and combining them avoids a second long-haul trip. This 14-day itinerary covers the standard 7-day Egypt classic (Cairo + Nile cruise + Luxor), then crosses to Jordan for 6 days covering Mt. Nebo, Petra (1.5 days), Wadi Rum (overnight Bedouin camp), Dead Sea, and Amman. Our partner network handles ground operations on both sides, so you get one planner and one final quote — not two disconnected bookings.

Common questions about this Egypt itinerary

Why combine Egypt and Jordan?

Same Middle East trip avoids a second long-haul flight, and the two countries complement each other — Egypt's pharaonic heritage plus Jordan's Nabataean Petra and Roman Jerash. Most travelers consider this a once-in-a-lifetime combination.

How does the border crossing work?

Direct 1-hour flights between Cairo and Amman daily. We handle visas (Jordan offers visa-on-arrival for most nationalities) and arrange airport meet-and-greet on both sides.

Can I do Egypt and Jordan in less than 14 days?

Possible but rushed — 12 days is the practical minimum. Below that you start cutting Egypt or Jordan content meaningfully. 14 days gives both countries proper time.
