Cairo Unveiled
Uncover the layers of Egypt’s capital on a guided city tour. Stand before the Great Pyramids and Sphinx of Giza — timeless symbols of ancient ingenuity that continue to inspire awe. Visit the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM), home to the world’s largest collection of Pharaonic treasures, where Tutankhamen’s legacy and Egypt’s golden age come vividly to life. Wander through the alleyways of Old Cairo, where centuries-old churches and mosques reflect a rich tapestry of faith and culture. End your day at Khan el Khalili bazaar, a sensory feast of spices, silver and storytelling.
Karnak Temple
Explore Karnak, the largest religious structure ever built and a sacred site for over 2,000 years. Dedicated to the Theban Triad — Amun, Mut and Khonsu — this vast temple complex showcases the grandeur of ancient Egypt. Wander through the Hypostyle Hall, where 134 towering columns still bear traces of original paint and inscriptions. Discover the sacred lake and ceremonial avenues once used by pharaohs in rituals to honour the gods and renew cosmic order.
Valley of the Kings and Queens
Journey to the West Bank of the Nile to explore Egypt’s most sacred burial grounds. In the Valley of the Kings, over 60 tombs — including that of Tutankhamen — lie beneath the pyramid-shaped peak of Qurn, believed to symbolise the sun god Re. Nearby, the Valley of the Queens offers a more secluded setting, with over 90 tombs hidden in the hills, including the exquisitely decorated tomb of Queen Nefertari. Discover vivid wall paintings, rare inscriptions and sacred artefacts that reveal the rituals, beliefs and artistry of Egypt’s New Kingdom.
Ancient City of Petra
Step into Jordan’s most iconic archaeological site — the rose-red city of Petra. Enter through the narrow Siq, a dramatic sandstone gorge, and emerge before the awe-inspiring Treasury, carved directly into the cliff face. Discover royal tombs, temples and ancient dwellings that reveal the ingenuity of the Nabataeans, who transformed this desert valley into a thriving trade hub. With its monumental architecture and rich history, Petra offers a truly memorable journey into the heart of the ancient world.
Jerash Ruins
Step back in time at Jerash, one of the best-preserved Roman cities in the world. Wander through collonaded streets, grand plazas and soaring arches that once echoed with chariot races and imperial ceremonies. Marvel at the Temple of Artemis, the imposing South Theatre and the Oval Plaza, where ancient life unfolded in spectacular fashion. With its remarkable preservation and scale, Jerash offers a vivid glimpse into Jordan’s classical past
