what is the difference between this tour and Egypt & Jordan Jewel with 5* Nile Boat Cruise? Both have the same number of days, but this tour is less expensive?

The Egypt & Jordan Adventure with Felucca Cruise and the Egypt & Jordan Jewel with 5* Nile Boat Cruise are both 15-day tours covering the same highlights in Egypt and Jordan, including the Pyramids of Giza, the Valley of the Kings, Petra, Wadi Rum, and the Dead Sea. The main difference is the Nile cruise experience: the Adventure tour includes a traditional felucca sailboat, offering a more authentic, simple sailing experience, while the Jewel tour features a 5-star cruise ship, providing more comfort and onboard amenities.

what is the price for a private room?

For your selected tour, the price for a private room for 1 adult is 1,015 USD.

Are the domestic flights and flight to Amman Jordan included in the price of the trip?

The following flights are included in the tour package. Internal flights Cairo-Aswan and Cairo-Amman

Are international flights included in the tour price?

Whilst internal flights are covered for certain itineraries, you will have to make your way to the meeting point for the start of your tour. When booking flights be mindful of departure times and possible delays. Tip: We suggest that you start comparing prices the moment your deposit is paid to avoid costly flights.

Are young children allowed?

We have a set minimum age of 10 for our tours, but we're happy to consider younger children on a case-by-case basis. Just let us know your request, and we'll do our best to accommodate it. Expat Explore reserves the right to accept or decline the request at our discretion. We want to ensure everyone has a great time exploring with us!

Can you cater for my dietary requirements?

We make every effort to include local cuisine on our tours to ensure an authentic experience for you. You'll receive an email before the tour begins, where we'll ask for your dietary preferences. We always have a vegetarian option, and we'll work hard to accommodate any other dietary needs or preferences you may have.

Do I need to exchange cash before I leave?

Contactless payment is widely accepted across Europe – it’s best to bring a payment card with no overseas withdrawal fees. * Keep in mind that certain optionals are payable in cash to your tour leader whilst on tour. We suggest that you talk to your Tour Leader about when & where to draw cash to pay for the optional excursions.

If I wish to stay longer in the start or end destination, will Expat Explore assist with pre/post-tour accommodation?

While Expat Explore cannot assist with booking pre or post-tour accommodation, we recommend Booking.com for affordable accommodation options prior to and after the tour. If hotel information is available, we can provide you with the details in advance so that you can book accommodation at or nearby the start hotel. Please request this by sending a message through on the conversation page.

Can Expat Explore issue me with a visa?

While Expat Explore endeavours to stay current on all major entry requirements, we are not a registered visa agent. We are, however, able to make things a little easier by providing you with the required supporting documents for a visa application once your tour is paid in full. It is a requirement of the embassies that tours are paid for in full before visa support documentation is requested and applications are made. When you have made the final payment for your booking, simply reach out to our Customer Support Team to request your visa support documents and confirm which embassy you will be applying to.

How much spending money do I need for my holiday?

This is up to you and will vary depending on how much you wish to spend on snacks, drinks, souvenirs etc. We do not include entrance fees to attractions and museums. We do, however, provide you with free time to see everything you want, and our tour leaders will have all the information on pricing and locations so you can manage your own budget. Please refer to your tour-specific pre-departure information and optional excursions guide for further details.

What an amazing experience. My son and I visited all the ancient sites in Egypt and Jordan and it was completed with knowledgeable and friendly tour guides, taking all the uncertainty and hassle away from us. We were met at the airport (air side) by a representative who took us through the security/visa system and into the waiting mini-bus. The hotels we stayed at were of a high standard and we had the same mini-bus/driver throughout each country which gave us a familiarity and a good level of peace-of-mind when leaving any baggage there during the day excursions. I picked this expedition as not only did it 'tick' all the Egypt main sites but we also got to visit Jordan - two for one! And our tour guides were fantastic, very knowledgeable (with top qualifications in their fields) but they also had a good control on the tour and did all of this in a warm and friendly manner. I would certainly use Expat again for our future holidays. Thank you!Show more
