What people love about Egypt And Israel Tours
- Best of Holy Land Israel & Jordan and Egypt Tour with Nile Cruise - 17 Days
Excellent tour of the Holy Land
- Israel, Jordan and Egypt 10 days
This was an incredible, trip of a lifetime. The itinerary is jam packed but the sites and experiences you get to see are well worth it! I wish I would have had an extra day in Jerusalem, one day was not enough. I did have an issue with the bus breaking down in Egypt on the 10 hour drive from Israel. This was unexpected as well as the many checkpoints through Egypt. I wish I would have upgraded to the 4 star hotels, the 3 star hotels were not very nice especially the Deborah Hotel in Israel. All the guides were excellent and the transition from border to border was seamless!
- Israel, Jordan and Egypt with Nile Cruise 12 days
The day tour to Masada and the Dead Sea was wonderful. We were picked up at our hotel in a timely fashion, the buses were clean, the drivers were great. Our tour guide, Dan Porges was excellent. He was incredibly knowledgable about the area, gave great explanations of everything, and kept the group interested and engaged. He made sure our group was always together and that we moved along in a timely fashion. There were 2 people that missed our bus at one of our sites and instead of holding the entire bus up to wait for them, a separate van picked them up and drove them to the rest of the group - which I thought was a great idea because the rest of the group didn't have to waste time waiting for them (which would have been really annoying). Overall, I was very impressed and would use this company again for tours throughout Israel.

Our 10-day combination tours really hit the sweet spot for exploring both countries properly. The most comprehensive routes start in Israel, where you'll spend several days in Jerusalem's Old City before heading to the Galilee region. What makes these special is how they mix biblical sites with local experiences - you might float in the Dead Sea in the morning and explore Masada's clifftop fortress by afternoon. After crossing to Jordan, you'll discover Petra's rock-carved wonders and even spend a night in Wadi Rum's desert camps. The final segment takes you into Egypt, where you'll explore Cairo's pyramids and museums. Our travelers consistently praise how these routes balance guided tours with enough free time to soak in each destination.
Two-week journeys give you the full experience without rushing. You'll take a deluxe Nile cruise from Aswan to Luxor, visiting Abu Simbel, Karnak and also other amazing temples while sailing comfortably between stops. Jordan's portion gives you proper time in both Petra and the Roman ruins at Jerash. In Israel, you get 4-5 days around Jerusalem, Galilee and also the Mediterranean coast. Some trips start with Istanbul if you'd like to add Turkey. Our customers really value not being rushed - you get enough time at major sites like the Western Wall and Egyptian Museum. The longer format lets us include nice extras like traditional felucca rides on the Nile, visits to local workshops and also time in authentic markets.
Demographics
We've found our multi-country tours through Israel, Jordan and Egypt really work well for solo travelers, typically running 10-13 days. The border crossings are smooth and the variety keeps things interesting. Many clients love starting in Tel Aviv before exploring Jerusalem's quarters, with a highlight being the night under the stars at Wadi Rum - it's perfect for meeting other travelers around the fire. Another solid option includes a 3-night Nile cruise where you can join group activities but still have plenty of time to yourself. Our guides know how to create a friendly group feel while giving people space, especially at meaningful spots like the Western Wall and Church of the Holy Sepulcher.
For couples, our longer trips of 14-17 days hit just the right notes between culture and romance. You can have dinner by candlelight near Petra's Treasury and sail the Nile as the sun sets. Our travelers tell us they like how the days flow - active mornings at archaeological sites, then afternoons to themselves floating in the Dead Sea or watching life go by from their Nile cruise balcony. Many routes come with nice extras like private transfers and better rooms in character-filled hotels, especially in Jerusalem's Old City and along the Nile. The pace really lets couples spend quality time together while taking in these incredible historical places.
Our combination tours attract young adults looking for a blend of culture and social experiences across Egypt and Israel. The multi-country routes run 10-13 days, hitting an ideal mix that starts in Tel Aviv before exploring Jerusalem's quarters. Travelers form natural bonds during nights under the stars at Wadi Rum, or while sailing together on 3-night Nile voyages. For those wanting a deeper experience, the 12-19 day journeys let you soak in the Dead Sea minerals, discover Petra's ancient tombs, wander through Cairo's bazaars and also explore hidden corners. Our guides create an inviting group atmosphere while sharing expert historical insights, particularly in Luxor and Jerusalem. Young travelers appreciate how we balance guided visits with independent exploration time, especially in Jerusalem's Old City. The desert experiences leave lasting impressions - camel rides through Wadi Rum lead into early morning walks through Petra, before other visitors arrive. Marine enthusiasts can join Red Sea yacht routes to dive among vibrant reefs near Aqaba, snorkel in clear waters off Sharm El-Sheikh and then return to cultural discoveries. Tours blend comfortable hotels with authentic stays, from Jerusalem's Old City quarters to traditional desert camps under open skies.
Our senior travelers get the most from our 13-19 day complete tours that take things at an easy pace with comfortable hotels. We plan longer stays where it matters - three nights in Jerusalem, extra time exploring Luxor's temples and two nights by the Dead Sea. The guides are top-notch and bring the history to life everywhere from the pyramids to Petra's lesser-known tombs. What works well is having all the travel details sorted while keeping some flexibility for optional activities. Our guests often mention the cultural parts as highlights - eating with local families, exploring traditional markets and watching craftspeople who still use ancient techniques.

Best time to visit Egypt and Israel
- Summer 2025
Our summer routes through Egypt and Israel are carefully planned with early morning departures, making the most of cooler hours at major sites. The 10-13 day multi-country journeys let you explore Jerusalem's quarters at dawn, then float in the Dead Sea's soothing waters by late afternoon. Many of our travelers opt for routes with a 3-4 night Nile cruise, where air-conditioned cabins and deck pools offer a perfect break between temple visits. We've built flexibility into the Luxor and Karnak visits, scheduling them when temperatures are most pleasant. Our Tel Aviv departures crossing to Jordan first and then continuing to Egypt work particularly well - you'll see Petra in the gentle morning light before temperatures climb. For those keen on archaeology, our 17-day journeys dive deeper with well-timed visits to the Valley of the Kings and extended time at the Egyptian Museum during peak heat hours. Our travelers tell us these summer routes strike just the right balance, mixing early archaeological visits with peaceful afternoons on Nile cruises or at Dead Sea resorts.

How Do You Get Between Egypt and Israel?
The quickest way is hopping on a direct flight between Cairo and Tel Aviv. If you're up for something more adventurous you can cross at the Taba border and drive through the Sinai Desert - it's about a 10-hour journey to Cairo but the landscapes are incredible. Tour companies like Booking-tours.com handle all the border crossing stuff which makes things way easier.
What Cultural Experiences Shouldn't I Miss?
In Egypt you've got to get out on the Nile in a traditional felucca - there's nothing quite like seeing those ancient temples from the water. Make sure to catch a Nubian show in Aswan too it's full of amazing local music and dance. Over in Israel the Mahane Yehuda Market in Jerusalem is where you'll really feel the pulse of daily Israeli life. And visiting a kibbutz gives you this fascinating look at communal living that's such a big part of Israel's story.
How Should I Handle Visiting Religious Sites?
When you're visiting religious places keep it modest - shoulders and knees covered is the way to go. Ladies you'll need a headscarf for some mosques and synagogues. Watch out for photo restrictions and if you're not sure just ask your guide. Remember things slow down in Israel on Fridays for the Sabbath and during Ramadan in Egypt you'll want to be mindful of fasting times and different business hours.
