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!
- Pyramids, Petra, Promised Land with Cruise - 19 days
One of the best tour groups I have ever booked. I would highly recommend them for any future travel.

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.

The multi-country routes run 10-13 days, hitting an ideal mix that starts in Tel Aviv before exploring Jerusalem's quarters.

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.

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.
