Welcome to one of the most iconic trips we lead : Egypt and Jordan group trip. We will share Jordan visa and exact flight details once you book the trip. Visa is completely online and doesn’t need any extra document other than your passport.
Today we are heading to Dead sea first. We are going to wear mud and float in the sea. The salt content is so much that you don’t sink . This is also one of the lowest point on the earth.
Can you imagine walking through a city that was carved into rock over 2,000 years ago? . The ancient city of Petra in Jordan became one of the 7 New Wonders of the World when it was chosen in 2007 by a vote of 100 million people. This is where the famous Indian Jones was shot too, if you recall.

Wadi Rum’s stunning red sand dunes, rugged mountains, and unique rock formations make it a breathtakingly beautiful during sunset . We are going to stay in the most luxurious camp here in Wadi rum. Staying in one of these is actually a dream come true experience.
If you remember star wars, Martian. It’s all shot here.
Check out some of the shots from our last trip
Imagine watching this sunset together with a bunch of strangers you met a week before, partied hard last day, did scuba together ZNMD style, Took a train ride togethere, took a balloon ride together
Today we will be sleeping in Desert tents. There will be proper washrooms and beds too.
The last day of the Jordan trip is here and we will be back to the city by 5pm. People who are only doing Egypt can land on next day.

Pyramids, Mummies and treasures : If that’s all you have heard of Egypt. Get this : Paper, ink , police, calendar , locks , makeup , wigs, toothpaste and even mints came from Ancient Egypt.
We expect the trippers to reach Cairo Airport by afternoon 1 pm, After dropping our luggage in hotel, we head to see the Pyramids and Great Sphinx of Giza.
Did you know Sphinx is the oldest known monumental sculpture in Egypt? ( 2558–2532 BC).
We will end with a visit inside a pyramid , which can be a surreal and awe-inspiring experience. The entrance to the pyramid is a narrow and steep descent, leading to a series of chambers inside the structure. It would take about 30 minutes.
Post evening tea, we head to the Egyptian Museum which is hosting artefacts from 2023 that has never been shown to public. Pharaoh Tutankhamun’s treasure and its iconic gold burial mask kept here, is supposedly one of the best-known works of art in the world. Today’s day end with an Egyptian meal: Fatteh.
Tonight, we are going to a special cafe with a rich history originally made in 1486. Imagine that.
Nestled in the heart of Cairo’s Khan el Khalili district ,this café, was once a war refugee center and belonged to a Princess.
Over the years, the house changed hands and is situated in the outdoor plaza of this Fatimid architectural marvel, and the underground crypt of the house serves as a reminder of the significant role it played in the fight against French occupation in 1798.
