Before you book
About the price
The price shown is per person sharing a double room in the lower season. Your consultant confirms the exact price for your dates, hotel level and group size before anything is booked.
Visas for both countries
Requirements depend on your nationality. Most travellers get Egypt's visa online or on arrival and enter Jordan with the Jordan Pass; your consultant will confirm what you need.
Walking in Petra
Petra involves several hours on foot over uneven ground and some steep steps. Good shoes matter more than anything else you pack.
