Good to know
Practical details to read before you travel.
Passport & visas
For Egypt, there’s a tourist e-visa through the official Ministry of Interior portal, applied for at least seven days before you fly. If the e-visa isn’t open to your passport, you apply at the Egyptian consulate in Dubai instead.
For Jordan, entry rules depend on your passport: many nationalities get a visa on arrival, while others need to apply ahead. Our visa team checks your passport against both countries and handles the applications: ask us when you book.
Flights and timings
Flights to and from the tour aren’t included: arrange your own, timed to land in Cairo in good time to reach Pyramids Resort by Jaz by 14:00 on day 1. Airport transfers are included if your flights land and depart on the tour’s own start and end dates; send us your flight details once booked.
Two internal flights are included: Cairo to Aswan on day 3, and Cairo to Amman on day 11. The tour ends in Amman on day 15 after breakfast, so book your return flight out of Amman, not Cairo. Our team can book your flights from Dubai to match.
Meals and dietary needs
Your tour includes 14 breakfasts, 8 lunches and 7 dinners, among them full board for your day and night on the felucca, all-inclusive meals at the Red Sea resort in Hurghada and dinner at the Bedouin camp in Wadi Rum.
Tell us about any dietary needs, halal included, when you book, and we pass them on before the tour.
Money
Egypt uses the Egyptian pound and Jordan the Jordanian dinar. Carry some cash for markets, tips and entrance fees such as the Dead Sea’s, and a card without foreign transaction fees for hotels and bigger payments.
Optional experiences booked on tour are paid to your tour leader in cash or by card, in the currency shown.
Weather and packing
October to December brings mild, comfortable days across Egypt and Jordan, cooling toward December, while desert nights at Wadi Rum turn cold, so pack a warm layer for the evening.
Bring comfortable, closed shoes for walking at temple sites and through Petra’s Siq, plus a hat, sunglasses and sun cream for the daytime sun.
Your felucca night and night in the desert
You spend one night aboard a traditional wooden felucca sailboat on the Nile, with shared toilet facilities and meals provided, and later a night in a private Bedouin-style camp at Wadi Rum.
Floating in the Dead Sea on day 14 needs its own entrance fee, which isn’t included in the tour price. If you are travelling alone in hotels, you can pay a single supplement for a private room, subject to availability (this doesn’t apply to the felucca night).
Plan your trip
Our Dubai team arranges what goes around the tour, so it is booked in one place.
Visas
Check the visa for each country on the route. Our visa team in Dubai applies for UAE residents once the tour is booked. For Jordan, ask them what your passport needs.

Full days, zero filler. Most mornings start with breakfast before heading out to the main sights with your Tour Leader or a local guide.
