You do not have to visit Egypt, Jordan, and Israel all at once to travel this part of the Middle East well. Some of our itineraries combine Egypt and Jordan, others concentrate on Jordan and Israel, and the longer routes bring all three countries into the same trip.
Our Egypt, Jordan & Israel Tours range from 11 to 17 days. Depending on the route, the journey can include Cairo and the Pyramids of Giza, a Nile Cruise, Petra, Wadi Rum, the Dead Sea, Jerusalem, and other historical and religious sites across the region.
Arrangements vary by tour and can include hotels, guided sightseeing with local guides, airport transfers, regional transportation, domestic flights, and border transfers where required. Customized Tours are also available when you want to change the balance between countries or spend longer in a particular part of the journey.

Two Countries or All Three?
This is the first decision to make.
If Petra and Jerusalem are your priorities, a Jordan and Israel itinerary keeps the route concentrated around the Holy Land, the Dead Sea, and southern Jordan without adding another flight to Egypt.
Egypt and Jordan make for a different trip. Cairo and the Nile bring much more ancient Egyptian history into the journey, while Petra and Wadi Rum provide the Jordan section. With enough time, Luxor and Aswan can be included rather than limiting Egypt to Cairo.
Adding Israel creates a broader three-country route, but it also means another border crossing and another set of destinations. It makes most sense when you have enough days to give each country proper time.
Where Should the Journey Begin?
There is no rule that says Egypt has to come first.
Starting in Cairo works well when Egypt is a major part of the trip. The journey can continue south to Luxor and Aswan before moving on to Jordan, leaving Petra and Wadi Rum for the second part.
Starting in Jordan creates a different rhythm. Petra and Wadi Rum come early, followed by Egypt or a crossing toward Israel, depending on the itinerary.
This is why two tours with the same number of days can be quite different. Egypt to Jordan and Jordan to Egypt are not simply the same holiday in reverse; the number of nights and places included in each country can also change.
How Much Egypt Do You Want to Include?
Cairo and Giza can form a relatively compact Egypt section. That works when Petra, Wadi Rum, or Jerusalem are the main reasons for taking the trip.
If Egypt is equally important, it is worth allowing time to go beyond Cairo. Luxor and Aswan add several days, particularly when a Nile Cruise forms part of the route. Abu Simbel can require additional time as well.
The choice is therefore less about fitting Egypt into the itinerary and more about deciding how much Egypt you actually want.
Petra, Wadi Rum & the Route Through Jordan
Jordan often acts as the geographical link within these itineraries.
Petra needs enough time to explore beyond the Treasury, while Wadi Rum takes the journey away from archaeological sightseeing and into the desert. Depending on the route, the Dead Sea, Jerash, Madaba, or Mount Nebo can also be included.
Because Jordan is mainly travelled by road, the order of these stops matters. A well-planned route can move through the country without repeatedly returning to Amman between destinations.
Crossing Between Countries
This is one area where a multi-country itinerary needs more planning than three separate hotel bookings.
Egypt and Jordan are commonly connected by air on these routes. Journeys involving Jordan and Israel may require a land border crossing, with transfers arranged on either side according to the itinerary.
Border procedures, entry requirements, opening arrangements, and crossing conditions can change. They should therefore be checked for the specific travel dates rather than assumed from an older itinerary.
Within each country, transportation also works differently: Egypt may use domestic flights and a Nile Cruise, Jordan is largely overland, and the Israel portion depends on the route being followed.
When to Travel
October through April generally works well when Egypt and Jordan make up a substantial part of the journey, particularly for sightseeing around Luxor, Aswan, Petra, and Wadi Rum.
Spring and autumn provide a useful middle ground across the region. Summer is possible, but temperatures can be demanding in southern Egypt, Petra, Wadi Rum, and around the Dead Sea.
Season is only one consideration on a three-country trip. Border arrangements, regional flight schedules, and the countries included in your particular itinerary also need to be considered for the actual travel dates.
Choosing the Route That Fits You
Do not start by asking how many countries you can fit into 11, 13, or 17 days. Start with the places you would travel all this way to see.
If those are Petra and Jerusalem, keep the trip centered on Jordan and Israel. If the Pyramids and the Nile matter just as much as Petra, Egypt and Jordan deserve more of the available days. Add all three countries when Jerusalem, Petra, and Egypt are all genuine priorities rather than simply additional stops.
