Combined Egypt and Jordan Tours
Egypt And Jordan 7-Day Guided Tour
Description
Egypt and Jordan 7-day guided tour connects the Giza Pyramid Complex, Abu Simbel and Luxor with Petra, Amman and Madaba in one planned trip. It suits travellers who want to see major sights in both countries without spending time arranging separate transport, comparing internal connections or finding guides at each stop.
The Egyptian section starts at the Giza Pyramid Complex. Walking between the limestone monuments makes the scale of Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure easy to grasp. Nearby, the Sphinx Icon faces the plateau, where you can see the carved features that have made the site recognisable around the world. In Cairo, the Egyptian Antiquities Museum provides more context through statues, jewellery, coffins and other objects from Egypt’s long history.
Further south, the planned Aswan arrangements take you to the Abu Simbel Monuments. The temples are cut into the rock beside Lake Nasser, with large seated figures guarding the entrance to the main temple. In Aswan, the pace changes. You see the Nile, travel between the city’s main sights and have time to take in the dry landscape and river scenery before continuing north towards Luxor.
Luxor brings several of Egypt’s major ancient sites within one area. At the Valley of the Kings Burial Site, guides explain how royal tombs were cut into the western hills and how their painted chambers were prepared for the afterlife. The visit continues to Hatshepsut Temple, built against the cliffs, then to Karnak Temple, where pylons, columns and open courtyards show the size of the ancient religious complex. Luxor Temple has a different feel later in the day, with its columns and statues set against the modern city.
Jordan brings a different landscape and historical setting. In the Amman Metropolis, you can see older landmarks alongside busy streets, cafés and newer neighbourhoods. The route then continues to Petra Rose City, entered through the narrow Siq before the Treasury comes into view. The main walk is on foot over uneven ground, and travellers who want to go farther into Petra should allow extra time and feel comfortable with steps and an extended walk.
Madaba Heritage provides a quieter close to the Jordan section. The town is known for its Byzantine and Umayyad-era mosaics, including the famous map mosaic in St George’s Church. This stop adds detail to the larger monuments: small pieces of stone and careful geometric patterns show how religious art and local craftsmanship developed across the region.

We arrange the sightseeing order, transfers and guiding so the week stays focused, although it is a full schedule with early starts and several long travel connections. The tour suits first-time visitors who value structure and want a broad introduction to Egypt and Jordan. It is less suitable for travellers looking for a slow beach holiday, independent exploration or a trip with little walking. Petra, temple precincts and archaeological areas often include uneven paths, stairs, sun exposure and stretches without shade.
Our team can help you prepare for practical details, including border and entry requirements, luggage planning and the clothing needed for religious and archaeological sites. Meals and accommodation follow the confirmed tour plan, while the exact transport method between locations depends on the final itinerary and current operating arrangements. Bring comfortable walking shoes, sun protection and a refillable water bottle; a light day bag makes the temple visits and Petra walk easier.

The seven-day itinerary is fast-paced, with time divided between Cairo and Giza, southern Egypt, Luxor, and Jordan rather than long stays in one place. In Luxor, the route can include the Valley of the Kings Burial Site, Hatshepsut Temple, Karnak Temple and Luxor Temple before the journey continues to Jordan.
Expect early starts and several sightseeing days with walking, steps and transfers. Our team organises the day in a practical order so you can see the principal sites without adding unnecessary backtracking.
Pickup and transfer arrangements are organised around your confirmed accommodation or arrival details, with the exact meeting point and schedule provided before each travel day. The itinerary includes transfers between the Egyptian sightseeing areas, Abu Simbel, Luxor, and the Jordan stops in Amman, Petra and Madaba.
Because transfer times and transport types depend on your booking and travel dates, our team confirms the details in advance rather than promising a fixed pickup time. Keep your phone available on travel days for practical updates.
This 7-day Egypt and Jordan tour can suit older children and active travellers, but it requires regular walking, uneven surfaces, steps and time outdoors at sites such as the Giza Pyramid Complex, Abu Simbel Monuments, Petra Rose City and the Valley of the Kings Burial Site.

Your Itinerary
Arrive in Cairo, where our representative meets you at the airport and assists with the transfer to your hotel. After check-in and time to settle in, begin the sightseeing programme at the Egyptian Antiquities Museum. The collection brings together statues, jewellery, coffins and everyday objects from several periods of Egyptian history, giving you useful context for the monuments visited later in the trip.
Your guide will help you focus on the main galleries rather than trying to see everything at once. Expect a steady walk through large exhibition rooms, with time to ask questions and pause at the objects that interest you most. The day is kept deliberately manageable after travel, and the exact sightseeing order may change according to your arrival time and museum access arrangements.
After breakfast, travel to the plateau for the Giza Pyramid Complex. Your guide explains how the pyramids were planned, built and used as royal tombs while you walk through the main viewing areas. You have time to see the Great Pyramid and the neighbouring pyramids from several angles, with optional entry inside a pyramid available when tickets and access conditions allow.
Continue to The Sphinx Icon, whose lion body and human head were carved from the limestone bedrock. The nearby temple area gives you a closer look at the setting and construction of this famous guardian figure. After lunch or a short break, transfer to Cairo Airport for your domestic flight to Aswan. On arrival, our team takes you to your hotel, leaving the evening free for rest after a full sightseeing and travel day.
Set out early from Aswan for the journey to the Abu Simbel Monuments. The drive takes several hours each way, but the scale and setting of the temples make this a key part of the itinerary. At the site, walk towards the four seated figures of Ramesses II before entering the rock-cut temple, where wall scenes show royal ceremonies, battles and religious offerings.
The smaller temple dedicated to Queen Nefertari stands nearby. Your guide explains how both temples were relocated during the construction of the Aswan High Dam, a major engineering effort that preserved them above the rising waters. Return to Aswan after the visit, then continue to Luxor by road or train according to the confirmed transport arrangements. The evening is for hotel check-in and rest, with no further sightseeing scheduled.
Begin on Luxor's West Bank at the Valley of the Kings Burial Site, where pharaohs were placed in decorated underground tombs. Walk into selected open tombs to see painted ceilings, carved corridors and scenes from the afterlife. Tomb access changes from time to time, so your guide will explain which chambers are open on the day. Continue to Hatshepsut Temple, a terraced monument cut into the cliffs and built for one of Egypt's most prominent female rulers.
Cross to the East Bank for Karnak Temple. Follow the processional avenues, courts and columned halls while your guide sets out how the complex expanded over many centuries. Finish at Luxor Temple, where reliefs and remaining statues show the connection between kingship and religious ceremony. The day involves sun, steps and uneven ground, so comfortable shoes, water and a hat are useful. After the tour, transfer to your hotel or onward transport arrangements.
After breakfast, transfer to Luxor Airport for your flight towards Jordan, usually connecting through Cairo depending on the confirmed routing. On arrival, complete the border and airport formalities before meeting our local team for the transfer into the capital. Allow extra time for this travel day: schedules, security procedures and immigration can affect the pace.
Spend the afternoon exploring the main areas of the Amman Metropolis. The Citadel hill gives you a broad view over the city's white limestone buildings and contains remains from several civilisations, including the Temple of Hercules and the Umayyad Palace. Continue through the downtown streets, where shops, cafés and traditional food counters sit close to the Roman Theatre. Your guide can suggest a relaxed dinner area before you return to the hotel and prepare for the next day's Petra excursion.
Leave Amman after breakfast for Petra, travelling south by road through Jordan's changing landscapes. At the visitor centre, begin the walk through the Siq, a narrow sandstone passage that leads into the ancient Nabataean capital. The first view of the Treasury appears between the cliffs, and your guide explains its carved façade, changing colours and likely ceremonial role.
Continue into the wider valley to see tombs, carved facades, remains of the colonnaded street and the Great Temple area. The main route includes uneven paving and a considerable amount of walking, with optional local transport sometimes available under site regulations. If time and energy allow, you may climb additional steps towards viewpoints above the valley. Return to Amman in the evening for your final night, or stay near Petra if the confirmed programme uses a southern base.
After breakfast, travel to Madaba for a final look at Jordan's religious and artistic heritage. At Madaba Heritage, visit the Church of Saint George and its famous Byzantine mosaic map, which depicts the Holy Land in coloured stone tesserae. Your guide points out Jerusalem, the Jordan River and other locations represented in the surviving sections, while explaining how the mosaic formed part of the church floor.
Continue to the airport for your departure transfer, allowing enough time for the drive, check-in and security procedures. If your flight leaves later, the schedule may include a short stop in the town centre or time for a simple meal before leaving Madaba. Our team confirms the collection point and departure arrangements in advance so you know where to meet your driver and what luggage assistance is available.
