Itinerary

Day 1 Cairo

Salaam Aleikum! Welcome to Egypt. Your adventure begins with a welcome meeting at 6pm on Day 1. Please look for a note in the hotel lobby or ask the hotel reception where it will take place. If you can't arrange a flight that will arrive in time, you may wish to arriv...

Day 2 Dahab

Fly from Cairo to Sharm El Sheikh (approximately 1 hour). On arrival you will be transferred to a Dahab beach hotel, your base for the next two nights. Dahab (meaning 'gold' in Arabic) has transformed from a Bedouin fishing village into a popular tourist town as the d...

Day 3 Dahab

Today take a trip to the Blue Hole, one of the best snorkelling spots in the Red Sea. It's located about eight kilometres north of Dahab. The 'hole' is around 80 metres wide and vaunts a stunning underwater world of colourful sea plants and fish. Later, simply relax in Dahab and soak up the lovely coastal ambience.

Day 4 Red Sea Beach Camp

Travel by van to your Red Sea beach camp (approximately 2 hours). It's located close to the town of Nuweiba. The tiny settlement of your beach camp is like its Sinai neighbours, Dahab and Sharm el-Sheik, before mass tourism arrived. Thankfully the camp is still a hidd...

Day 5 Aqaba

Take a ferry across the Gulf of Aqaba to Jordan (approximately 2 hours). Your Egyptian leader will help you board the ferry and then bid you farewell. You'll be met at the Aqaba ferry terminal by a local representative who will receive and process visas for the group ...

Day 6 Wadi Rum

Follow in the footsteps of Lawrence of Arabia with a short drive (approximately 1 hour) to the far-out desert location of Wadi Rum. Take a jeep safari (approximately 4 hours) through some of the most beautiful and sublime desert scenery on the planet. It's a highlight...

Day 7 Petra

Travel by van from Wadi Rum to Petra (approximately 2 hours). You'll explore this remarkable, rock-hewn 3rd-century city with a local guide. Walk through the narrow Siq to the Treasury. After admiring the beautiful view, continue through the site along the Roman road,...

Day 8 Petra

The day is yours to explore Petra as you please. Perhaps walk the road to Al Khanzneh (The Treasury) – one of the most stunning temples of the whole site. Or you can go up the stairs to El Dier (The Monastery). Other great options today are to hike to the royal tombs or visit the incredible Byzantine mosaics. Ask your leader for help with arranging these.

Day 9 Madaba

Travel the King's Highway to the historic crusader castle of Kerak. Take the time to explore the impressive ruins here and learn more about the legends of the 12th-century battles between the Crusaders and the Muslim armies. Then travel by van to Madaba. En route you'...

Day 10 Madaba

Your trip comes to an end this morning. If you'd like to stay in Madaba, speak to your booking agent. There are plenty of great things to do here, such as visiting the ruins of Jerash, or Sunday Mass at St George Church (if your visit lines up with a Sunday).
