Why You Should Add Jordan to Your Egypt Itinerary
Two Ancient Lands. One Epic Journey.
If you’re already planning to explore Egypt’s temples, tombs, and timeless Nile, there’s one destination you shouldn’t miss — Jordan. Just across the Red Sea or a quick flight from Cairo, it offers breathtaking scenery, world-class historical sites, and desert adventures that perfectly complement Egypt’s ancient allure.
Here’s why adding Jordan to your Egypt itinerary transforms your trip into the ultimate journey.
1. Easy to Combine
Cairo to Amman takes about one hour by flight, and many travelers connect overland through Sinai and Aqaba.
Both countries offer visa-on-arrival for most nationalities, and with Best Way Travel’s combined tours, all transfers and logistics are handled seamlessly.
If you’re flying all the way to Egypt, extending to Jordan means experiencing two UNESCO-rich civilizations in one unforgettable trip.
2. Petra — The Rose-Red Wonder
Petra is Jordan’s crown jewel and one of the New 7 Wonders of the World.
Walk through the narrow Siq and watch the stunning Treasury reveal itself — it’s a sight that rivals Egypt’s Pyramids in awe.
Stay for Petra by Night, when 1,500 candles light the ancient path, creating an atmosphere that feels truly magical.
3. Wadi Rum — The Desert of Dreams
Known as the “Valley of the Moon,” Wadi Rum is a surreal red-sand desert where films like Dune and The Martian were shot.
Take a 4×4 Jeep safari, ride camels across golden dunes, or spend a night under the stars in a luxury Bedouin camp. It’s peaceful, cinematic, and perfectly complements the energy of Egypt’s bustling cities.
4. Float in the Dead Sea
At the lowest point on Earth, you can literally float without effort.
Cover yourself in mineral-rich mud, soak in the therapeutic waters, and enjoy sweeping views of Jordan’s mountains.
It’s the ideal spot to unwind after your historical explorations.
5. Amman — Ancient Meets Modern
Jordan’s capital blends ancient Roman ruins with modern café culture.
Visit the Amman Citadel, stroll Rainbow Street, and enjoy traditional dishes like mansaf or falafel.
It’s a welcoming city that gives you a glimpse into daily life in the Middle East.
6. Egypt & Jordan — One Seamless Story
Egypt impresses with its colossal monuments, pharaohs, and Nile cruises.
Jordan captivates with its canyons, carvings, and desert silence.
Together, they tell one timeless story — the cradle of civilization, where history, hospitality, and natural beauty merge.
