Day by day
01 Day 1: Arrival at Amman – Transfer to Hotel
Upon your arrival at Queen Alia International Airport, our warm and professional Greet & Assist team will be waiting to welcome you. They’ll help you with visa and immigration procedures and ensure a smooth transition through the airport. Once all formalities are complete, you’ll be transferred in a private, air-conditioned vehicle to your hotel in Amman.
Take the rest of the day to relax and settle in. Depending on your arrival time, you may wish to explore the nearby streets of the Jordanian capital or enjoy a quiet evening at your hotel.
Overnight in Amman
02 Day 2: Discovering Amman’s Ancient Heritage – Transfer to the Dead Sea
Start your morning with a delicious breakfast at the hotel before heading out to explore the historical heart of Amman. Visit the impressive Amman Citadel, located on one of the city’s seven hills. Here, you’ll see ancient ruins such as the Temple of Hercules, the Umayyad Palace, and the remnants of a Byzantine church, all offering panoramic views over the capital.
Next, continue to the well-preserved Roman Theater, a 2nd-century marvel that once hosted thousands of spectators and still stands as one of Amman’s architectural icons.
In the afternoon, you’ll journey south toward the Dead Sea. Upon arrival, check in to your hotel located by the shores of this natural wonder—earth’s lowest point on land. Take time to float effortlessly in the salty waters, soak in the mineral-rich mud, or simply relax and enjoy the peaceful environment.

From the summit, take in breathtaking panoramic views over the Jordan Valley, the Dead Sea, and even Jerusalem on a clear day.

Thanks to well organised sightseeing and tour guide Ahmed who was professional and pleasant.

Good to know
Travel tips from the peoplewho run the trips.
Pick a question on the left. We answer it the way we would answer it on the phone — with the numbers, and with what we would actually do.
When to go
The comfortable half of the year runs October to April: 20–28 °C in Luxor and Aswan, which is what open-deck sailing and three hours inside a temple actually require.
Daytime20–28 °C
CrowdsPeak Nov–Feb
PricesHighest Dec–Jan
- March and April keep the weather and lose the crowds — the best value window.
- June to August is much cheaper, but afternoons pass 42 °C and excursions run at dawn.
- Christmas and New Year need a 50% deposit, because the cruisers ask us for one too.
Our tip
Book three to four months out for November to February. For a dahabiya, make it four — they carry twelve people and the good cabins go first.
Visas and entry
Most nationalities — US, UK, EU, Australian and Canadian included — get a 30-day tourist visa on arrival, or online as an e-Visa before they fly.
VisaOn arrival
CostUS$25
Valid30 days
- Your passport needs six months’ validity from the day you land.
- The e-Visa is worth doing if you land late — it saves the queue at the bank window.
- We meet you before passport control and handle the paperwork with you.
Our tip
Carry the $25 in cash. The visa window at Cairo takes dollars and gives change in Egyptian pounds, and the card machine is not always working.
Money and tipping
Hotels, cruisers and restaurants take Visa and Mastercard. Markets, tips and small cafés are cash. We quote in US dollars and can invoice in EUR, GBP or AUD.
CardsHotels & cruisers
CashMarkets & tips
QuotesUS dollars
- Tipping is customary, never obligatory, and never inside your price.
- As a guide: $8–10 a day for your guide, $5 for your driver.
- Small notes are worth more than large ones — change is scarce everywhere.
Our tip
Change a little at the airport and the rest at your hotel. Street exchange offices quote well and pay badly.
What to pack
Light cotton for the days, one layer for the evenings, and shoes you can walk a temple in. Everything else you can buy here for less than you paid at home.
DaysLight cotton
EveningsOne warm layer
SitesClosed shoes
- Shoulders and knees covered for mosques — a scarf does the job for both.
- A hat and high-factor sun cream matter more than anything else on this list.
- Deck evenings on the Nile get genuinely cool from December to February.
Our tip
Leave room in the case. Cotton, spices and a hand-made galabeya cost a fraction of the airport price in Khan El Khalili, and your guide will tell you the real one.
Getting around
Cairo to Luxor is an hour by air and ten by road, so almost every itinerary flies it. Between Luxor and Aswan the river is the road, and your room moves with you.
Cairo → Luxor1 hour, by air
Luxor → Aswan3–4 nights
TransfersAll included
- Every transfer, domestic flight and entrance fee sits inside your quote.
- A private car and driver waits for you — no taxis, no haggling, no surprises.
- The sleeper train exists and we will book it, but it is slower and not cheaper.
Our tip
Sail Luxor to Aswan rather than the reverse if you can choose. You go upstream against the current, which means slower, longer afternoons on deck.
