Few places arouse more fascination and curiosity than Egypt. One of the world’s oldest civilizations, Egypt has a recorded history of more than 5,000 years. Flowing through the country’s desert, the great Nile River has supported large populations along its lush, fertile banks for centuries. Greek historian Herodotus wrote nearly 2,500 years ago that Egypt is “the gift of the Nile” — the country’s existence dependent solely upon its great waters.

 

In addition to its distinction as the kingdom of the Pharaohs, Egypt has a remarkable Christian heritage. You can discover it at St. Catherine’s Monastery in the Sinai Desert. You’ll then explore another great site of antiquity at Petra, Jordan’s rose-red rock city that lay hidden from the world for more than 1,000 years. Your journey concludes with a relaxing stay along the scenic shores of the Dead Sea, which includes a visit to ancient Jerash — a remarkably preserved city known as the “Pompeii of the East.”

You’ll explore it all — Egypt and Jordan — in true style, by private chartered plane. You’ll fly between destinations within Egypt and across the Red Sea to Aqaba in Jordan, meaning you’ll travel in comfort and make the most of your time.
