Pyramids to Petra

Soar Above the Nile by Private Plane

The stories of few countries are captured as vividly as those of Egypt and Jordan, where evocative relics tell of daily life, deities and the quest for immortality. Soar above the temple-lined Nile to experience Egypt and Jordan as few people ever will — traveling in comfort and convenience between modern Cairo and remote outposts.

Only International Expeditions’ Wings Over the Nile journey combines Egypt and the remote St. Catherine’s Monastery with Jordan, taking in Petra, Jerash and the Dead Sea, for a thorough look at the tombs and temples still looming large as the gods they were meant to honor. On this 15-day journey, voyage on the Oberoi Philae past classic temples and the haunts of kings and Pharaohs; take four flights (more than any other itinerary) aboard our private Dash-7 plane deep into the Sinai to St. Catherine’s (saving a six-hour drive) and across the sands to Jordan; and discover a land steeped in history and mystery on the sweeping Wings Over the Nile journey following the winding path of the Nile.

For travelers who love rubbing elbows with the locals, International Expeditions also includes an interactive dinner at Petra Kitchen, where you learn to prepare local dishes alongside Jordanian women.

IE’s Wings Over the Nile journey is the best way to experience the best of Egypt and Jordan! Prices for this 15-day exploration start at $7,198.
