Step back in history to the ancient lands of Jordan & Egypt

Embark on an extraordinary journey that seamlessly weaves the mesmerizing histories and landscapes of Jordan with the timeless appeal and mysteries of Egypt. Step into worlds rich with history and trace the steps of Nabateans, crusaders and ancient civilizations.

Visit all the unmissable highlights – think Petra, Wadi Rum, the Dead Sea, Pyramids, the Sphinx and the Valley of the Kings. And delve into lesser-visited gems such as Jerash, Aswan High Dam and El Alamein War Cemetery. These two nations, each with its unique allure, converge in a captivating narrative that leaves you spellbound and perpetually in awe.

You’ll be in good company the entire trip. Local guides with a wealth of knowledge will deepen your adventure. Your Byroads host will support you throughout the trip. And a small bunch of fellow wanderers will create meaningful memories alongside you.
