These optional trips are scheduled around the main itinerary to avoid any conflicts should you choose to add them to your tour.

Camel Caravan in Aswan – $90
Don’t miss out on this amazing afternoon enjoying the oldest means of transportation in Egypt. A motorboat will take you to Gharb Soheil on the west side of the Nile, where you will mount your camel and cross the desert to a panoramic view of Aswan and the mighty river – a great photo opportunity. You’ll refresh with traditional Nubian tea while you rest before returning to the river’s edge on your camel.

Valley of the Queens & Nefertari's Tomb – $155
The Valley of the Queens served as the burial site of the pharaoh’s wives and some royal children of the 19th and 20th Dynasties (1292-1075 B.C.). There are more than 90 known tombs, usually consisting of an entrance passage, a few short halls, and a sarcophagus chamber. You will visit three  very well-preserved tombs in the Valley, including the famous Queen Nefertari's tomb, known as the most beautiful tomb in Egypt for its still-vibrant colorful decorations. Nefertari's tomb was closed for many years and has only recently reopened for sightseeing.

The Grand Egyptian Museum – $2300
An unique treat for history lovers! At the edge of the ancient pyramids of Giza, 5,000 construction workers are building the long-awaited Grand Egyptian Museum. At a cost of more than $1 billion, this 5.2-million-square-foot structure will be the world's largest museum when it opens. 
In the meantime, you can be among the first people to enter the museum and see artifacts that no other tourists have seen. It may sound unbelievable, but thanks to our work alongside the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, we are proud to offer you a personalized tour with a museum manager. 
Many of the artifacts have never been seen by the public, as they were stored in the basement of the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. You will see ancient artifacts being cleaned and restored in special conservation labs. Entrance to these rooms is strictly controlled and even many renowned archaeologists aren’t permitted.
The fee for this special tour helps support the construction of the museum. Taking part in this optional trip makes you a contributor to this greatly anticipated Egyptian treasure!

Grand Staircase Gallery Visit - $155
Embark on a captivating journey with Inside Egypt as we unveil the wonders of the Grand Egyptian Museum. Step into the realm of ancient kings and queens as we explore the majestic Grand Hall, where the colossal statue of Ramses II stands in all its glory. Marvel at the Hanging Obelisk, a testament to the power of King Ramses II, and admire the exquisite statues of Senusret I, each one a masterpiece of ancient artistry. Ascend the Grand Staircase, a gateway to the past adorned with 72 captivating artifacts that narrate the captivating tale of "The Journey Towards Eternity." Traverse the commercial area and wander through the enchanting exterior gardens, where you can immerse yourself in the tranquil ambiance of ancient Egypt. While access to the galleries and collections remains exclusive until the grand opening of the museum, fear not! 

Inside the artificial mountain of Abu Simbel – $390
With Inside Egypt you have an opportunity for a completely different perspective on Abu Simbel. This mountain was constructed to house the magnificent temples when they had to be moved. You can go inside the mountain itself to get a behind-the-scenes look at its construction and learn more about the work of archaeologists at this unique complex.
 

Payment for these additional excursions can be via credit card or cash during the tour. Credit card payments include a 2.5% processing fee charged by the bank system. 
Please inform your Egypt tour leader upon arrival if you would like to take part in any of these optional excursions.

Next, you will visit the Manial Palace and Museum, which is one of the most distinctive and breathtaking palaces of the Alawiyya dynasty (19th and 20th centuries). It was built between 1899 and 1929 by Prince Mohammed Ali Tewfik, who was the uncle of King Farouk.
At the end of the day you will get to enjoy some recreational time at one of the most luxurious cities in Egypt, Sheikh Zayed City at Giza.

Jordan 5-day add-on, after Around Egypt in 14 Days (Days 15-19)
We’ve organized an exceptional trip to Jordan, often called the jewel of the Middle East, with unique opportunities to visit ancient cities, admire the magnificent rock formations in the desert, and even swim in the Dead Sea. You’ll get to know the ancient city of Petra and the modern King Abdullah Mosque in Amman, the capital of Jordan. You will visit Wadi Rum, a protected desert reserve in the southern part of Jordan, often called the Valley of the Moon, known for its red-pink sands, stunning natural arches and imposing mountains, and prehistoric rock engravings. Wadi Rum Protected Area was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2011. You will end your trip with a wonderful visit to the Dead Sea, where the water is so salty you will float in it.

Day 1: Departure from Cairo & Arrival in Amman 
You’ll fly from Cairo to Amman, Jordan, where our representative will be waiting for you holding our company sign. You will then be transferred to your hotel.
Enjoy dinner and your overnight stay at the hotel.

Day 2: Amman City Tour 
Breakfast at the hotel.
You will start the day with a city tour to explore the highlights of Amman. The Roman Theater dates back to the second century, when the city was known as Philadelphia (literally “the city of brotherly love” in Greek). The theater could seat 6,000 and was commissioned by Emperor Antonius Pius.
Next, you will visit the Citadel of Amman. The complex consists of a number of structures built during the Bronze and Iron Ages and the Roman, Byzantine and Umayyad eras. At the Temple of Hercules, you’ll see the enormous hand that is believed to have been part of a massive Roman statue of the famous hero himself. The two complete pillars there are 30 feet tall and it’s believed that the temple would have reached more than 40 feet in height. Then you’ll visit the Umayyad Palace, the best-preserved structure at Amman Citadel. The palace includes a huge cistern which was used to transport water to the palace.
Lunch at a local restaurant.
Drive to Petra, where we’ll enjoy dinner and stay overnight at the Petra Marriott Hotel.

Day 3: Wadi Rum Desert
After breakfast, you’ll start the day at Wadi Rum, also known as the Valley of the Moon for its otherworldly rock formations. This is where the films Lawrence of Arabia and The Martian, among others, were shot.  It is the largest wadi (valley) in Jordan, set on a high plateau at the western edge of the Arabian Desert. Human occupation of Wadi Rum dates back 12,000 years, and on today’s SUV safari, you will learn about the ancient and modern Bedouin lifestyle and the animals that make this arid zone their home. 
You’ll have free time to relax in the afternoon.
Return to the hotel for dinner. 

Day 4: Petra Breakfast at the hotel.
Today, you’ll visit breathtaking Petra, made world-famous when it was featured in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Its rock-cut tombs and temples were carved into the cliffs more than 2,000 years ago. You will see the mysteries of the “Rose Red City,” the most famous and impressive of which is known as the Treasury, although in reality it was a tomb for a Nabataean king. Its facade reveals many Roman and ancient Greek influences, and it may have been used as a Christian church in Byzantine times.

Lunch at a local restaurant.
Next, we will drive to Shobak Castle, the most important Crusader castle in Jordan, followed by a visit to St. George’s Church in Madaba, which contains the oldest and largest floor-mosaic map of the Holy Land, dating to the sixth century. We will then travel to Mount Nebo, where the Bible says Moses was given his first look at the Promised Land. The panoramic view takes in the Dead Sea, and you might be able to see as far as Jericho and Jerusalem.
Next we’ll check in to our hotel at the Dead Sea. At more than 1,000 feet below sea level, the Dead Sea is the lowest land elevation in the world. It is also one of the saltiest lakes in the world, so much so that you can float in it.
