What people love about touring Egypt And Jordan solo
- Egypt, Jordan and Dubai 15 days
Highly recommended! Professionally organized and nice guides! We did the 15-day tour and it’s advisable, it was a long-lasting dream trip for us. We really discovered Jordan, Egypt and UAE. The hotels were comfortable and the tours were informative, Thank you very much Booking-tours
- Experience Egypt & Jordan - 5 Star Cruise
The overall experience was nice, everything went as planned, the guide (Mina Nash) was excellent. As complain, I must point out that throughout the trip we were eating on buffets, most of the food was not tha tasty.
- Pyramids, Petra, Promised Land with Cruise - 19 days
The parts of our Tour we were provided were excellent. The service provided in the aftermath of the cancelation of our Israel and Bethlehem tours and flights homes was not helpful.
What our customers ask about Egypt and Jordan Tours for Solo Travelers
What's the best time of year for solo travelers to visit Egypt and Jordan?
The most comfortable time to visit is October through April when the weather suits outdoor exploration. During these months you can walk through Petra and the Pyramids without extreme heat. Winter nights (December to February) can get cool in desert areas like Wadi Rum but hotels such as the Mövenpick Nabatean Castle provide warm shelter. Skip the summer months of June through August when places like Luxor and Aswan reach 104°F (40°C). A TourRadar traveler notes: "I visited in March and it was perfect - comfortable enough to explore Valley of the Kings in the morning and enjoy the rooftop pool at Steigenberger Nile Palace in Luxor in the afternoon."
What is the typical group size and social atmosphere on Egypt and Jordan guided tours for solo travelers?
Tours typically run with 12-15 people creating a close-knit travel experience. The schedule includes plenty of shared activities from meals in Aswan's Nubian Village to Nile felucca rides and Wadi Rum desert explorations. Common spaces at hotels like the Steigenberger Nile Palace in Luxor and Pyramisa Island Hotel in Aswan make it easy to connect with other travelers. A TourRadar traveler shares: "Traveling solo was no problem at all - our group became like family within days sharing amazing experiences like camping under the stars in Wadi Rum and cruising down the Nile together."
What safety considerations should solo travelers keep in mind when visiting Egypt and Jordan?
Guided tours in Egypt and Jordan offer strong safety measures with professional guides and drivers throughout the journey. Tourist areas including the Pyramids of Giza Luxor Temple and Petra have visible security presence. Hotels such as Swiss Inn Pyramids Golf Resort in Cairo and Mövenpick Nabatean Castle in Petra sit in protected tourist zones with round-the-clock security. Guides handle travel logistics and provide cultural guidance. According to a TourRadar traveler: "As a solo female traveler I felt completely safe throughout the entire journey - our guide was extremely professional and protective of the group especially in busy areas like the Khan el-Khalili bazaar in Cairo."
What type of accommodation can solo travelers expect on Egypt and Jordan tours?
Accommodations range from standard hotels to unique stays. You'll find well-appointed single rooms with private bathrooms at properties like the Steigenberger Nile Palace in Luxor and Mövenpick Nabatean Castle in Petra. The experience includes special stays in Wadi Rum desert camps and potentially Nile cruise ships like the MS Esmeralda. One TourRadar traveler notes: "The hotels exceeded my expectations - from the amazing views of the Pyramids from my room at Swiss Inn Pyramids Golf Resort to the magical night in a Bedouin camp under the stars in Wadi Rum."
How much spending money should solo travelers budget for additional expenses in Egypt and Jordan?
Plan for 50-70 USD daily beyond the tour cost of 300-350 USD per day. Extra activities cost around 120 USD for Abu Simbel 124 USD for Luxor hot air balloons plus personal expenses. Non-included meals range from 15-30 USD per person. While most entrance fees come with the tour some sites like the Pyramids interior require extra payment (700 EGP). You'll find ATMs for local currency in major cities including Cairo Amman and Luxor.
How do meals work for solo travelers on Egypt and Jordan tours?
Tours cover daily hotel breakfasts at places like Steigenberger Nile Palace and select group lunches and dinners at local spots. Shared meals offer natural social time with fellow travelers while sampling regional dishes. Special dining might include a desert feast in Wadi Rum or dinner with a Nubian family in Aswan. As one traveler reports: "The group meals were highlights - from traditional mezze in Amman to memorable dinners aboard our Nile cruise ship MS Esmeralda there were always people to share experiences with."
