Two-week itineraries combining Egypt’s full archaeological spine with an optional Jordan extension, Red Sea relaxation, or deep oases exploration. Fourteen days is the gold standard for Egypt: long enough to combine Cairo, Aswan, a Nile cruise, Luxor, and Alexandria — and still have 3 to 4 days left for Jordan’s Petra and Wadi Rum, Hurghada’s reefs, or the Western Desert’s surreal landscapes. Every plan runs as a fully private tour with a licensed Egyptologist guide.
Most EDT clients who choose 14 days are either second-time Middle East visitors making a definitive return, or first-time visitors who want to do Egypt properly rather than sampling it. Fourteen days is the threshold where you can combine Cairo’s Pharaonic depth, an Aswan and Nile cruise circuit, Luxor’s temples, Alexandria’s Mediterranean heritage, AND a meaningful international extension without any single day feeling rushed.
A 10-day Egypt-only plan gives you Cairo, Aswan, the cruise, and Luxor — but not Alexandria or a foreign extension. A 14-day plan adds both. The four extra days make the difference between a highlights tour and an immersive journey through the two oldest literate civilizations in the Middle East.
EDT’s 14-day plans are structured around the full Egypt archaeological spine (Days 1 to 10) plus your chosen 4-day extension: Jordan (Petra and Wadi Rum), the Red Sea (Hurghada diving and snorkeling), or Egypt’s Western Desert oases. This page collects the real 14-day options with verified pricing and honest day-by-day breakdowns.
EDT’s flagship 14-day plan is Egypt and Jordan. Days 1 to 3 cover Cairo in full: Giza Pyramids, Saqqara, Memphis, the Grand Egyptian Museum, Old Cairo, and the Citadel. Day 4 flies to Aswan for the High Dam, Philae Temple, and the Unfinished Obelisk, then boards a Nile cruise. Day 5 is an optional Abu Simbel excursion from the cruise at Aswan, then sails to Kom Ombo. Day 6 Edfu Temple and evening Luxor Temple visit. Day 7 Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut Temple, Colossi of Memnon, and Karnak Temple, then flight back to Cairo. Day 8 rest in Cairo. Day 9 overday Alexandria from Cairo. Day 10 return to Cairo. Day 11 fly to Amman, Jordan. Day 12 Petra (the Rose Red City, a UNESCO World Heritage site) and Wadi Rum desert overnight. Day 13 Amman city tour (Citadel, Roman Amphitheatre, old city). Day 14 Amman Airport departure.
The Cairo to Amman international flight (Day 11) is arranged separately — it is not included in the base price. For the complete day-by-day plan, see our 14-Day Egypt and Jordan itinerary. Starting from $2,850 per person, 4-star accommodation (4-star and 5-star tiers only).
Egypt’s full archaeological spine (Days 1 to 10: Cairo, Aswan, Nile cruise, Luxor, Alexandria) plus 3 nights Jordan (Petra, Wadi Rum, Amman). The Cairo to Amman flight on Day 11 is not included in the base price — typically $200 to $400 USD per person depending on season. Starting from $2,850 per person for 4-star accommodation. WhatsApp Attarious at +20 100 680 88 57 to book this as a private guided experience across both countries.
Replace the Jordan extension with 3 to 4 nights at Hurghada on the Red Sea. Days 1 to 10 cover Egypt’s full circuit (Cairo, Aswan, cruise, Luxor, Alexandria). Days 11 to 14 in Hurghada: world-class snorkeling and diving at Giftun Island, the Dolphin House, and the Hurghada reef system. Return flight from Hurghada Airport on Day 14. This variant suits travelers who want the ancient world plus a serious beach and dive destination in one trip. WhatsApp Attarious at +20 100 680 88 57 to build this plan for your travel dates.
Replace the Jordan extension with a 3-night Western Desert circuit from Cairo: Bahariya Oasis, Black Desert, White Desert, and optionally Farafra or Dakhla. Days 1 to 10 cover Egypt’s full circuit. Days 11 to 13 are 4×4 desert camping and oasis touring with an EDT desert guide. Day 14 return to Cairo and departure. This variant suits adventurous travelers and photographers. The White Desert at night under a full moon is one of the most dramatic landscapes in Africa. WhatsApp Attarious at +20 100 680 88 57 to design the Western Desert extension.
Stay in Egypt for the full 14 days and go considerably deeper: add Abu Simbel confirmed (not optional), add the Sinai (Mount Sinai and St Catherine’s Monastery), and include Dahshur and the Fayoum alongside Cairo. Days 1 to 4 Cairo in full depth (GEM, Saqqara, Memphis, Dahshur, Fayoum). Days 5 to 8 the southern circuit (Aswan, Abu Simbel confirmed, Philae, Kom Ombo, Edfu, Luxor). Day 9 fly to Sharm El Sheikh for Sinai. Days 10 to 11 Mount Sinai overnight and St Catherine’s Monastery. Days 12 to 13 Alexandria. Day 14 departure. WhatsApp Attarious at +20 100 680 88 57 to build this full Egypt deep-dive plan.
The same Egypt and Jordan route but at full luxury tier throughout: 5-star hotels in Cairo, Luxor, and Amman; a premium dahabiya sailing vessel on the Nile instead of a standard cruise ship; private Egyptologist scholars rather than standard guides; exclusive opening-hour visits to the Valley of the Kings and the GEM before public admission. Starting from $3,150 per person for 5-star tier (base Egypt and Jordan plan). Dahabiya upgrade and exclusive-access arrangements are quoted separately. WhatsApp Attarious at +20 100 680 88 57 to build a custom 14-day luxury itinerary.
For the flagship Egypt and Jordan plan, movement is as follows: Days 1 to 3 in Cairo (no long travel). Day 4 domestic flight Cairo to Aswan (1.5 hours), then 3 nights aboard a Nile cruise sailing north from Aswan to Luxor. Day 7 or 8 domestic flight Luxor to Cairo (1 hour). Day 9 private vehicle from Cairo to Alexandria (3 hours each way) and return. Day 10 rest in Cairo. Day 11 international flight Cairo to Amman, Jordan (approximately 2.5 hours — not included in base price). Days 11 to 14 in Jordan: Amman, Day 12 drive to Petra (3 hours) and Wadi Rum (2 hours from Petra), Day 13 drive to Amman (3 hours). Day 14 Amman Airport departure.
Total approximate distance across the 14 days: 3,500 km. Transport modes: 2 domestic flights, 1 international flight (not included), Nile cruise, private AC vehicles throughout Egypt, Wadi Rum jeep tour.
Starting from $2,850 per person for double occupancy in 4-star accommodation.
The 14-day Egypt and Jordan itinerary is available in 4-star and 5-star tiers only. The multi-country complexity and Jordan operational standards make a 3-star tier unviable for this itinerary. For budget-conscious travelers, a 10 or 12-day Egypt-only plan offers a lower entry price.
| Hotel Category | Price Per Person (double room) |

Note: The Cairo to Amman international flight (Day 11) is not included in the base price. Budget approximately $200 to $400 USD per person depending on season and booking timing.

Egypt alone needs 10 days to cover Cairo, Aswan, the Nile cruise, Luxor, and Alexandria without rushing any of them. Jordan adds Petra and Wadi Rum — two of the most extraordinary ancient and natural landscapes in the Middle East. Petra alone deserves a full day (the Siq, the Treasury, the Royal Tombs, and the Monastery if you have the energy). Wadi Rum deserves an overnight to see the desert at sunset and dawn. Fitting both countries well into less than 14 days means sacrificing either Egypt’s depth or Jordan’s pacing. Fourteen days does both properly. WhatsApp Attarious at +20 100 680 88 57 to discuss which parts of Egypt matter most to you and which Jordan extension fits your interests.
Yes, for most travelers, without hesitation. Petra is one of the most extraordinary archaeological sites in the world — not just for the Treasury (which you know from photos) but for the full scale of the Nabataean city: the Royal Tombs, the Roman-era Colonnaded Street, the Amphitheatre, and the Monastery (Deir) at the top of the site. Wadi Rum’s sandstone landscape is genuinely otherworldly and serves as both a Bedouin desert experience and a night sky viewing site of serious quality. The combination of Egyptian Pharaonic and Nabataean rock-cut architecture in one trip covers two of the most technically impressive building traditions of the ancient Middle East. WhatsApp Attarious at +20 100 680 88 57 if you want to discuss the Jordan extension in detail before committing to 14 days.
EDT’s 14-day Egypt and Jordan plan starts from $2,850 per person for double occupancy in 4-star hotels. For 5-star hotels the starting price is $3,150 per person. Both prices include Egypt hotel accommodation for 5 nights, 5-star Nile cruise accommodation for 3 nights, Luxor hotel 1 night, Alexandria hotel 1 night, Amman hotel 2 nights, Wadi Rum camp 1 night, all domestic flights within Egypt, private guides and vehicles throughout, Petra entrance and horse ride, Wadi Rum jeep tour, and all entry fees. Not included: the Cairo to Amman international flight (approximately $200 to $400 per person), Egypt entry visa ($30 USD), Jordan entry visa (verify current cost), and tipping.
Yes, and EDT can build both parts separately. A 10-day Egypt trip covering Cairo, Aswan, Nile cruise, Luxor, and Alexandria is a natural first trip. A 5 or 7-day Jordan trip covering Petra, Wadi Rum, Amman, and possibly the Dead Sea and Aqaba is a natural second trip. The combined cost of two separate trips is typically higher than the 14-day single booking, but some travelers prefer the separation for calendar or budget reasons. WhatsApp Attarious at +20 100 680 88 57 and we will design both options so you can compare the itineraries and pricing side by side.
