Day 5
Luxor to Hurghada (1 meal)
• Visit the great Karnak Temple complex by horse drawn carriage, with our Egyptologist guide.
• After lunch, transfer through the desert to Hurghada on the Red Sea - Overnight at Hurghada.
Days 6 to 9
Dahab (no meals)
• Flight over the Red Sea (saving a tedious 12 hour bus ride from Hurghada to Dahab). This is a real bonus for our groups and great value for this flight to be included. Please note that in exceptional circumstances when flights are not available we would arrange this journey by bus as an alternative. Should this be necessary we will contact you in advance to let you know.
• Transfer to Dahab, the most relaxed and, for many, the most enjoyable place in Egypt.
• Scuba dive or snorkel in one of the world's top diving locations (optional).
• Opportunities to desert trek by camel or windsurf, visit St Catherine's Monastery and climb Mt Sinai, or simply relax on the beach.
Days 10 to 11
Aqaba & Wadi Rum (2 meals)
• Travel overland from Dahab to Jordan.
• Transfer to Wadi Rum - watch the desert sunset, and sleep overnight in a traditional Bedouin tent. Take a 4WD jeep drive in the desert, visiting some of Lawrence of Arabia's desert haunts.
• Transfer to Petra - Overnight.
Days 12 to 13
Petra & Dead Sea (2 meals)
• Spend the day exploring Petra, the ancient, rock-hewn city of the Nabateaens. A guide is included for 3 hours or so, then the rest of the day is your own to explore.
• Visit Shobak Castle, a 900 year old Crusader Castle.
• Transfer to the Dead Sea - the lowest point on Earth! It's almost impossible to swim in the buoyant salt water, so take your Oasis brochure and plan your next trip as you float along.
• After lunch transfer to Mount Nebo from where Moses first saw the Promised Land.
• Transfer to Madaba - Overnight.
Day 14
Madaba (1 meal) Trip ends after breakfast.
• Sightseeing options include visiting St. George's church with the oldest map of the Holy Land plus Roman ruins and Byzantine churches.
