“Our Egypt and Jordan small group tour goes beyond Cairo’s bustle and the famed pyramids as we cruise along the majestic Nile River from Luxor to Aswan.
Setting sail in the shadows of the Luxor and Karnak Temples, where colossal statues and grand pillars embody the brilliance of ancient Egyptian architecture.
On the west bank in a deep and barren basin lies the renowned Valley of the Kings, an ancient burial ground revealing multiple tombs adorned with hieroglyphics and colourful frescoes, offering a glimpse into Egypt’s royal past.
Heading further south on this majestic river, the Temple of Kom Ombo and Edfu, dedicated to falcon-headed Horus, unravel insights into ancient religious practices. The Nile cruise, amidst historical wonders, provides a relaxed atmosphere for passengers to unwind in luxury, surrounded by ever-changing scenery and rich culture and history.
Our tour concludes in Jordan at Petra, the “Rose City,” nestled in rugged desert terrain, and showcasing ancient ingenuity and use of nature for man’s survival. Navigating the Siq, a narrow gorge with towering cliffs on either side, unveils a dramatic entrance to Petra, heightening the anticipation of the wonders that lie within.
The iconic Al-Khazneh, or “The Treasury,” carved into rose-red cliffs, enchants visitors as sunlight illuminates its intricate architecture in hues of pink.
Petra stands as a captivating blend of natural beauty and human craftsmanship, a testament to ancient civilizations’ brilliance. Urban planning and advanced water management at its best.
Join our small group of kindred spirits as we explore the very beginnings of modern civilisation, secure and in comfort.”
