14 Days Egypt and Jordan Holiday — Summary

The 14 Days Egypt and Jordan Holiday is a luxury private guided journey spanning Egypt and Jordan over 14 days and 13 nights, covering Cairo, the Nile Valley, Red Sea, and Petra from contact-based pricing, distinguished by its seamless integration of 5-star accommodations, private Egyptologist guidance, a 5-star Nile Cruise, and exclusive access to both ancient Egypt and Jordan’s most iconic wonders with dedicated Tour Leader support throughout.

Is the 14 Days Egypt and Jordan Holiday Right for You?

YES. This package is the ideal choice for travelers who value depth over speed, premium comfort over budget accommodation, and personalized expertise over group dynamics. The combination of private guiding in Egypt’s most significant sites, a multi-day luxury Nile Cruise, and carefully sequenced Jordanian experiences creates an unmatched immersion into two ancient civilizations without logistical stress.

Compared to the 10 Days Egypt and Jordan Tours with Nile Cruise, the 14 Days Egypt and Jordan Holiday offers four additional days, allowing unhurried exploration of Cairo’s museums and Old Cairo, a full Red Sea interlude at Sharm El Sheikh, and more flexible pacing through Luxor and Aswan temples. The 7 Days Egypt and Jordan Itinerary is a condensed overview skipping the Nile Cruise and Red Sea entirely, suitable only for time-constrained travelers willing to sacrifice depth. The 12 Days Trip to Egypt and Jordan removes either the Red Sea relaxation or the Nile Cruise component, making the 14-day version the most comprehensive and leisurely option.

Travelers seeking genuine expertise, premium comfort, and the absence of time pressure receive the best value in the 14 Days Egypt and Jordan Holiday.

Who Is the 14 Days Egypt and Jordan Holiday Best For?

  • Luxury travelers — those accustomed to 5-star hotels, private transfers, and concierge-level service who refuse to compromise on comfort during cultural exploration
  • Ancient history enthusiasts — serious students of Pharaonic Egypt and Nabataean civilization who benefit from private Egyptologists and specialist guides rather than rushed group commentary
  • First-time visitors to both countries — travelers with 2+ weeks available who want one definitive, expertly sequenced journey that eliminates decision-making and logistics
  • Couples and small groups celebrating milestones — anniversaries, retirements, or significant birthdays requiring personalized attention, private vehicles, and flexible timing without group constraints

Practical Information

Topic Detail
Egypt Visa Required for most nationalities — e-visa (~$25 USD) or visa on arrival at Cairo International Airport. Apply online at visa.egyptonlinevisa.com before departure. Jordanian visa obtained separately or on arrival for eligible nationalities.
Tipping Recommended daily tips: $10–15 USD per day for private guide, $5–8 USD per day for driver. Cruise and hotel staff gratuities typically $3–5 USD per person daily. Tipping is customary and deeply appreciated.
Group Size Private — exclusively your own group, family, or travel party. No strangers share your guide, vehicle, or itinerary timing.
Physical Demands Moderate activity: 2–4 hours walking daily across uneven terrain at temples and monuments (Valley of the Kings, Petra, Abu Simbel involve substantial walking on sandy/rocky ground). Several sites include stairs or steep inclines. Petra full exploration may extend 4–6 hours. Red Sea days are leisurely.
What to Wear Modest clothing for temples and mosques (covered shoulders, knees); comfortable, closed-toe walking shoes with good grip for ancient sites; wide-brimmed hat, polarized sunglasses, and SPF 50+ sunscreen essential year-round; light layers for air-conditioned vehicles; swimwear and cover-up for Red Sea.

Egypt Top Tours Expert Assessment

“The 14 Days Egypt and Jordan Holiday stands apart because it frontloads Egypt’s iconic sites with a private Egyptologist in Cairo before transitioning to the contemplative rhythm of a luxury Nile Cruise — a sequence that allows archaeological context to deepen rather than overwhelm. The private guide model is particularly transformative at sites like the Valley of the Kings and Petra, where specialist knowledge elevates stone into narrative; group tours at these locations devolve into crowd management. This itinerary is expressly designed for travelers who equate travel value with expertise and unrushed discovery rather than checkbox tourism. Book early to secure preferred hotel dates and Nile Cruise cabin selections, as demand for private departures often fills six to eight weeks in advance.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the 14 Days Egypt and Jordan Holiday include international flights from my home country?
International airfare to Cairo and from Amman are excluded and remain your responsibility. However, all domestic flights within Egypt (Cairo to Aswan, Luxor to Sharm El Sheikh) and the international flight from Sharm El Sheikh to Amman are fully included and arranged by Egypt Top Tours.

How does the 14 Days Egypt and Jordan Holiday compare to booking a Nile Cruise independently and adding Petra separately?
Independent bookings fragment your experience, requiring you to coordinate three separate suppliers, manage transfers between booking entities, and negotiate with local guides in Petra—a logistical burden this package eliminates entirely. Egypt Top Tours’ integrated approach saves 15–20 hours of planning and typically secures preferred cruise cabin availability and fixed Petra guide pricing that independent bookers cannot access.

Can I customize the 14 Days Egypt and Jordan Holiday itinerary or adjust the pacing?
Yes. While the core structure (Cairo, Nile Cruise, Red Sea, Petra) remains fixed for operational reasons, Egypt Top Tours accommodates flexibility within days — extending Red Sea time, swapping optional activities, or adjusting hotel check-in times. Contact the booking team for customization requests at least 30 days before departure.

What is included in meals during the 14 Days Egypt and Jordan Holiday, and are dietary restrictions accommodated?
Breakfast is included daily; lunch and dinner are included in hotels, on the Nile Cruise, and during guided tours as specified in the itinerary. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and halal meals are accommodated with 48 hours’ notice provided at the time of booking. Alcohol is not included but available for purchase.

What is the best time to book the 14 Days Egypt and Jordan Holiday, and when should I travel?
Book 8–12 weeks in advance to secure preferred Nile Cruise cabins and 5-star hotel dates. Travel October through April for optimal weather (68–80°F daytime, minimal rain); May through September are possible but temperatures exceed 100°F, particularly in Aswan and the Red Sea, and tour intensity decreases accordingly.
