Following breakfast, your journey continues to Madaba, famous for its religious art and ancient mosaics. Visit St. George’s Church, home to the 6th-century mosaic map of Jerusalem and the Holy Land—an invaluable piece of biblical cartography.
Next, visit Mount Nebo, the place where Moses is believed to have seen the Promised Land before his death. From the summit, take in panoramic views of Jerusalem, the Dead Sea, and the Jordan Valley.
Then head down to the Dead Sea, the lowest point on Earth. Enjoy a rejuvenating float in its salty waters and try the therapeutic black mud, renowned for its healing properties.

After breakfast, begin your guided tour of Petra, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World and the crown jewel of Jordan. Walk through the narrow, winding Siq, a dramatic canyon flanked by towering sandstone cliffs, until the path opens to reveal the Treasury (Al-Khazneh)—Petra’s most iconic structure.
Continue exploring the vast archaeological site, which includes the Roman Theater, Royal Tombs, Colonnaded Street, Qasr Al-Bint, and the Temple of the Winged Lion. As you wander the trails and tombs carved into the rose-hued cliffs, you’ll feel the echoes of Nabatean life that once thrived here over 2,000 years ago.
In the late afternoon, travel back to Amman and enjoy a final evening in the capital city.

The best months to visit Jordan are March to May and September to November, when the weather is mild and ideal for exploring historical sites and natural wonders like Petra, Wadi Rum, and the Dead Sea.
A 7 to 10-day trip is perfect to see the main highlights of Jordan, including Amman, Petra, Wadi Rum, the Dead Sea, and Jerash. A shorter 4-5 day itinerary can work if you focus on key sites.
The ferry from Nuweiba, Egypt to Aqaba, Jordan takes about 1 to 3 hours, depending on whether it’s the fast ferry or the regular one. The fast ferry usually takes around 1 hour.
A trip to Jordan typically costs $1,000–$2,000 USD per person for a 7-day tour, including mid-range accommodation, meals, transportation, and entry fees. Budget travelers can spend less, while luxury trips will cost more.
Jordan is moderately expensive compared to other Middle Eastern countries. Entry fees to attractions like Petra can be high, but food and local transport are affordable. Costs vary by travel style.
Yes, you can easily visit Jordan without a tour. The country is safe and has good infrastructure. You can rent a car or use public transport to explore independently, but guided tours can enhance cultural experiences.
We are not a marketplace reselling someone else's tours. The consultant who plans your itinerary is the same person who answers when you message from Luxor at midnight.

They helped me plan my day and arranged for an Egyptologist and driver to take me to all these places.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Our tip
Change a little at the airport and the rest at your hotel. Street exchange offices quote well and pay badly.
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.
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.
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.
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.
