tour highlights
Stroll through the souks in Cairo
Markets called souks are fun just to stroll around! Let’s enjoy the exotic scent of Arabia.
Great Pyramid and Sphinx
Speaking of Egypt, the pyramids are still mysterious. Most of them were built as tombs of Old and Middle Kingdom pharaohs or their families. This tour will take you to the Great Pyramids of Giza, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. And don’t forget to check out the sphinx standing right next to the pyramid! The royal symbol, the Great Sphinx, symbolizes the greatness of the king.
Egyptian Museum
The Egyptian Museum (commonly known as the Egyptian Museum) is a museum exhibiting a collection of ancient Egypt located in the capital Cairo. There are more than 200,000 items in the collection. A golden mask excavated from the royal tomb of King Tutankhamen, a golden throne, a statue of Khafre, a statue of Nefertiti excavated from the palace ruins of Tell el Amarna, the capital of ancient Egypt, a mummy of Ramesses II, etc. Egypt treasures are on display.
dead sea
When we think of the Dead Sea, we imagine people floating on the surface of the water while reading newspapers. In fact, it’s nearly impossible to sink. The Dead Sea has a salinity of about 30%, while normal seawater has a salinity of about 3%. The water of the Dead Sea is said to be the second saltiest in the world. The mud along the coast contains many minerals and is believed to have medicinal, therapeutic and skin-beautifying effects. Black natural mud packs are popular, and you can often see people applying them to their bodies. It is also a very popular resort area for wealthy people in Europe, and luxury resort hotels are lined up on the coastal hills. Let’s refresh your skin and mind in Jordan’s Dead Sea.
Mount Nebo
A small mountain of 817m located about 10km northwest of Madaba. The prophet Moses is said to have died from here overlooking the Promised Land, and is designated as an important place in the Old Testament.
At the summit, you can see monuments to Moses, a church built to commemorate his death, mosaics, and the remains of a tomb. You can also see Israel, the Dead Sea and famous Biblical lands from above.
petra ruins
See hand-carved caves, temples and tombs carved out of pink sandstone in Jordan’s high desert nearly 2,000 years ago. The town is said to have been built by the ancient Nabataeans who settled there from around the 1st century BC, and was rediscovered in 1812 by the Swiss Johann Ludwig Burckhardt. Little is known about the Nabataeans, but they are said to have been desert nomads who made their fortunes by trading frankincense. When visiting the ruins, one day is not enough to see the ruins spread over a vast site, such as al-Deir (monastery), the rock canyon Sikh created by river erosion, the Roman amphitheater, the colonnaded street, the Arc de Triomphe, etc. Plenty to see. It can be said that it is the highlight of Jordan tourism. It is also famous as the stage of the movie «Indiana Jones».
