Join us on a voyage of discovery, to visit, in one inspired and awesome trip, the Pyramids of Egypt, the oldest and only Ancient Wonder of the World still standing, and the remarkable lost city of Petra in Jordan, one of the Seven New Ancient Wonders of the World. These two great sites are testimony to the perfection of design, architecture, engineering and artistry of two glorious and ingenious cultures. Then, take advantage of a fabulous Dead Sea extension, where you'll revel in the luxury of a 5-star spa hotel at the shore of the world's lowest body of water. From only $1299 including airfare, this is one amazing vacation you won't want to miss.
Day 1: Depart USA. Your fascinating journey to Egypt and Jordan begins this evening as you depart JFK International Airport in New York for your overnight flight to Cairo via Amman, Jordan.
Day 2: Cairo. Evening arrival in Cairo, where East and West come together in a wonderful and chaotic mix of old and new. You'll be met by our representatives in Cairo and assisted with visa and customs formalities. Then, transfer to your hotel in the heart of Cairo, on the Nile River. Ramses Hilton Hotel
We really had a marvelous time in Egypt. I have told everyone about this tour. I kept thinking that there must be a catch for you to offer this package at such a wonderful price. There was no catch and I can't believe it! I have no idea how you are able to afford to offer such inexpensive packages. The food was great, the accommodations terrific and the sights amazing.

Day 4: Cairo. After breakfast, board your touring coach for a full day of visits, beginning at the most famous of all sites, the Pyramids of Cheops and Chephren. These monuments have stood for 46 centuries and are considered one of the Seven Wonders of the World, possibly the most visited monuments of Egypt. The Sphinx, a feline character with the body of a lion and the face of Khufu (Cheops in Greek) is 50 meters long and 22 meters high. Carved from a single stone, it lies just before the Pyramids, and even today its meaning and origin remain shrouded in mystery.
Enjoy an included lunch at a local restaurant, then continue to Cairo and a visit to the world-famous Khan El Khalili bazaars, where the sights, sounds, spices and exotic clothing and jewelry, hand-hammered copper, ceramic ware and other treasures are waiting for your deft bargaining to win them at astounding prices. Tonight, an optional excursion takes you to a spectacular Sound and Light Show at the Pyramids at Giza ($35 per person). (B,L)
A great experience!. It was our first time with a tour and it was such a positive experience that we would definitely do another trip with you. The hotels were nice, the guides very helpful and the people in the group were very easy going. We truly enjoyed the balance between guided tours and free time to explore on our own. We have recommended you to many of our friends who are enthusiastic travelers. Thank you for a great trip! Margarita and Luis San juan, Puerto Rico

Keep us posted on all your good buys. Clearly the Egypt trip was the BEST value in traveling we've ever had, and, believe me, I search all over. I would heartily recommend that trip and, based on it, Friendly Planet for exceptional travel organization and service. Looking forward to traveling with you again.

We weren't sure what to expect (especially at this price) and quite honestly we were thoroughly impressed. The tour guides were not only knowledgeable but very friendly. The accommodations were pristine and the adventure—well, enough cannot be said for all that Egypt has to offer. We were a little concerned about any anti-American feelings that could be present there. On the contrary, the locals seemed to be warm, wonderful people who opened themselves up to us so very easily. We felt completely safe every step of the way! I highly recommend this trip to anyone who may have an interest in seeing Egypt.
