Two destinations. Millennia of history. One unforgettable family holiday. Egypt and Jordan complement each other perfectly — each with its own wonders, traditions, and landscapes waiting to be discovered. Across nearly two weeks, you and your loved ones will wander through ancient temples, learn local customs, float on the Dead Sea, and camp under a sky full of stars. From the pyramids of Giza to the rose-red city of Petra, this journey blends discovery, education, and family fun at every turn.
Cairo: Where It All Begins
Your adventure starts in Egypt’s lively capital. Settle into the St. Regis Cairo, where sweeping Nile views welcome you. After some time to unwind, dive straight into culture with a short lesson in basic Egyptian Arabic — perfect for practicing as you wander through the buzzing Khan al Khalili bazaar, filled with textiles, spices, and sparkling jewelry.
Round off the evening with a food tour across downtown Cairo, tasting beloved Egyptian dishes like Koshary and Feteer. The following day brings history to life as you step onto the Giza Plateau. With your private guide, visit the Great Sphinx and stand in awe before the last remaining Wonder of the Ancient World: the Great Pyramid of Giza.
Aswan: Nubian Encounters
Board a short flight south to Aswan, where the legendary Sofitel Legend Old Cataract will be your base for two nights. Here, history flows with the Nile. Sail aboard a private felucca to discover ancient Nubian monuments along Lake Nasser. Explore the Philae Temple, stroll through the colorful streets of Elephantine Island, and visit the intimate Animalia Museum, lovingly curated by locals. Kids (and adults) will love the chance to try a traditional henna design applied by a Nubian artist.
Luxor: Valley of Kings & Queens
We craft journeys that go beyond the ordinary—blending stunning landscapes with immersive cultural encounters. Designed for travelers seeking authenticity, wonder, and unforgettable memories.
Luxor: Living Ancient Egypt
Travel north to Luxor, the open-air museum of Egypt. Along the way, enjoy an introduction to hieroglyphs — with over 700 symbols, there’s plenty to decode. Upon arrival, marvel at the vast Karnak Temple, built over centuries by dozens of pharaohs. Tonight, rest at the characterful Al Moudira Hotel, full of traditional charm.
The next morning begins with a warm welcome into a local family’s home for breakfast. Help bake sun bread and share a meal of traditional delicacies. Then, with your Egyptologist guide, step into the world of the pharaohs in the Valley of the Kings, where tombs of rulers like Tutankhamun still astonish. Nearby, discover the stunningly decorated Tomb of Nefertari in the Valley of the Queens.
Crossing into Jordan
Bid farewell to Egypt and fly to Amman, Jordan’s capital. Spend the night at the elegant Ritz-Carlton Amman, where the next day you’ll roll up your sleeves for a Jordanian cooking class. Prepare dishes such as Mansaf and Kunafa, learning the flavors of this hospitable land firsthand.
Head south into the cinematic desert of Wadi Rum — a landscape so striking it has doubled as Mars in Hollywood films. Spend the night at a Bedouin desert camp, with storytelling and stargazing under some of the clearest skies in the world. The next morning, set out on a jeep safari across the fiery sands, meeting Bedouin tribes and experiencing nomadic traditions. Camel rides, goat-milking, and trying on traditional attire bring desert life vividly to your family’s imagination.
Petra: Wonder by Day and Night
The adventure continues with two nights at the Mövenpick Resort Petra, perfectly placed at the gateway to Jordan’s most iconic site. Your first encounter with Petra is magical: walking by candlelight through the Siq until the Treasury’s magnificent façade appears in flickering light.
Return the next day to see this ancient Nabataean city in full daylight, its rose-red cliffs glowing under the sun. Traverse canyons, admire intricate carvings, and sit down for a memorable cave lunch within Petra’s timeless setting.
Dead Sea: A Family Finale
The journey concludes at one of the Earth’s most unique natural wonders — the Dead Sea. Sink into its mineral-rich waters, effortlessly floating as you coat yourselves in the famed black mud, known for its healing properties. Your last night will be spent in luxury at the Kempinski Dead Sea Resort, reflecting on days filled with adventure, learning, and unforgettable family memories.
