The Sphinx and Pyramid

See history come to life in the Middle East. Whether its walking in the footsteps of the Ancient Egyptians or following the ancient Biblical trails in Jordan, there is no better way to learn about history than to see it firsthand.

Egypt’s famous Pyramids and Valley of the Kings are only the tip of what’s in store in this fascinating country. Join a tour of Egypt and discover more than you’d dreamed. From the Temple of Hatshepsut, where the original paint still adorns the worn walls; to the many smaller temples hidden in the countryside, there is more than you can imagine just waiting for you. Many tours include cruises down the Nile to see the silhouetted ruins and dramatic landscape pass you by. Visit a local family for dinner and learn more about their way of life and the delicious culinary traditions of Egypt. Dive into the Egyptian Museum and see the treasures of the tombs and ancient papyri inscribed with the Book of the Dead.

As a pilgrimage destination for centuries, Jordan has many beautifully preserved sites which bring the Bible to life. Visit the beautiful Bethany on the Jordan where Jesus was baptized and where Elijah is said to have ascend in a chariot of fire. From the Dead Sea, where 5 biblical cities, including Sodom and Gomorrah, are said to have stood to Mt. Nebu where Moses is said to have looked out into Canaan and where a 5th century church to Moses once stood, there are endless sites and cities to visit. As the crossroads of religions, Jordan has been shaped by many traditions which come together amazingly in the cuisine. Mediterranean and Arabic influences marry to create a diverse array of flavors and aromas to delight even the hardest to please foodie. Explore Jordan on a tour for unique insight into any number of interests, such as Women in Jordan, Religious Pilgrimages, and even active tours for canyoning and rock climbing.

The Red Sea between the two countries is unmissable for diving and snorkeling enthusiasts. With warm, clear waters, a consistent balmy climate and an expansive coral reef system, the Red Sea is fun for all ages. Egypt’s Marsa Alam, Hurghada, Port Ghalib, and Wadi el Gemal National Park all show a much different side of Egypt than the dusty desert and ancient ruins most are familiar with. With an expansive coastline briming with secluded resorts and hidden gems, Egypt can offer the best of modern and ancient luxury. From scuba diving to snorkeling, there are reefs, sandbars, and wrecks waiting to be admired.

In Jordan, Aqaba is the hub for watersports and swimming. Blending historical sites along the coast with an array of colorful fish and diverse diving options, Aqaba won’t disappoint. Despite its smaller coastline, Jordan still offers an array of activities for any water lover. For those looking for a more unique water experience, the Dead Sea in Jordan is essential. An open-air spa since the days of Ancient Egypt, the Dead Sea welcomes wellness enthusiasts, history buffs, pilgrims, and those just looking to experience the buoyancy of such a salty body. Believed to be home to five biblical cities, the area also features desert hiking trails and extensive hot springs, ensuring everyone will find something to interest them.

No matter what attracts you to the Middle East, a trip to Egypt to Jordan will check all your boxes. Whether you are interested in a tour, cruise, or an independent trip, I would be delighted to help you plan the trip of a lifetime.
