Additional Notes
Travelers are responsible for international airfare to Doha, Qatar and from Cairo, Egypt. Please wait to book your flight until you receive a confirmation email from GoHabesha with flight booking details. We recommend selecting flights that arrive at Doha Hamad International Airport (DOH) no later than 5 PM. Fly out at any time on the last day.
We will arrive in Doha by 5 PM and head to our hotel to check in and freshen up. In the evening, we will explore the vibrant Souq Waqif, wandering through its lively alleyways filled with spices, handicrafts, and traditional delights. We will have dinner at one of the local restaurants in the souq, offering a variety of traditional and international cuisine. Afterward, we will take a relaxing stroll along the Doha Corniche, admiring the illuminated skyline before returning to our hotel.
Meals: Not included
We will start our morning with a visit to the Museum of Islamic Art, home to breathtaking architecture and a world-class collection of artifacts. Next, we will explore the National Museum of Qatar, where we will dive into the country’s fascinating history. After a walk through the modern Msheireb Downtown, we will head to Katara Cultural Village to experience its art, amphitheater, and the beautiful Katara Mosque. In the afternoon, we will unwind at The Pearl-Qatar, strolling along its waterfront promenade. In the evening, you have the option to join an exciting desert safari, experiencing dune bashing and enjoying a BBQ dinner under the stars in the desert (this is an optional activity and is not included in the price).
Meals: Not included
On our final morning in Doha, we will have some free time to explore the city. We can visit Villaggio Mall for last-minute shopping or enjoy a short beach escape at Banana Island. After taking in the best of Doha, we will head to the airport for our flight to Jordan. We will arrive in Amman at 6 PM and head to our hotel for a welcome meeting, where we will meet our local leader and fellow travelers. After the meeting, we may head out on the town to search for ara’yes (Jordan’s toasted sandwich, packed full of spiced meats).
Meals: Not included
This morning, travel by minibus to Mt Nebo – the place where the prophet Moses is said to be buried and where he saw the ‘Promised Land’. Check out the mosaics inside its fourth-century church. On a clear day, the views over the Dead Sea to Israel and the Palestinian Territories are spectacular. After, drive to the super salty Dead Sea – sitting well below sea level, this is the lowest point on earth, and you’ll float rather than swim due to the high salt count. The mud on the sea floor is said to have healing properties, so maybe lather up and enjoy Mother Nature’s spa. Continue to the crusader castle of Kerak, sitting on top of a cliff overlooking the town and valley below. Explore the seven-level fortress and learn the legends of 12th-century battles between Crusaders and Muslim armies, then continue to Petra for the night.
You’ll explore Petra today – the jewel of Jordan, the lost city of the Nabateans and one of the Seven Wonders of the World! Squeeze through a narrow path called the Siq until you reach the grand entrance of the Treasury. Gaze up at the intricate carvings and spend the afternoon exploring the site at your own pace. There’s the old Roman road, other temples and old tombs, as well as the rock-hewn amphitheatre. For those feeling more adventurous, take a challenging hike up a set of stairs to the smaller but no less impressive monastery, which takes about an hour. After arriving back at your accommodation, why not find a traditional bathhouse to rejuvenate after a day of incredible sightseeing.
This morning you’ll drive to Wadi Rum – a rugged, lunar-like landscape framed by huge sandstone mountains. Head on a half-day jeep safari, taking you through some unique desert scenery and uncover traces of ancient civilisations in the many carved inscriptions throughout the area, from pictographs to Thamudic, Nabataean and Arabic texts. The most enduring monuments in Wadi Rum are those carved by nature – natural rock bridges, towering sand dunes and scattered rocky peaks. Spend the night sleeping in a simple desert camp under a camel hair tent. Enjoy dinner cooked in an earthen oven by your Bedouin hosts and soak in the unforgettable surroundings.
This morning, leave Wadi Rum and make tracks for Nuweiba. You’ll drive to Aqaba, then bid your Jordan local leader farewell and transfer on a ferry bound for Taba. When you arrive, you’ll be met by your Egypt local leader and make your way to your accommodation in Nuweiba. Then enjoy a free afternoon to rest, relax or explore at your own pace.
It’s a short drive to the laidback resort area of Dahab – your base for the next two nights. Dahab, meaning ‘gold’ in Arabic, has gone from a Bedouin fishing village to a popular tourist town, thanks to the excellent conditions for activities like diving, windsurfing and rock climbing. However, the town hasn’t lost its authenticity and lowkey appeal that’s attracted visitors since the 1970s. The rest of the day is free for you to wander through the cafes, find some fresh seafood or take on some snorkelling in the Red Sea. Dahab is well known for its drop-offs – spectacular coral reef shelves that plunge into the vast blue depths of the ocean. There are also plenty of bars and restaurants to sit back and enjoy good local food and some sheesha.
In the morning, why not strap on a mask and head to the Blue Hole for some snorkelling at one of the best diving spots in the world. The area gets its name from a submarine sinkhole about 94 m deep, with an arch in the coral reef down at 54 m – a challenge that’s only open to highly experienced technical divers. Snorkellers can enjoy one of the greatest spots in the Red Sea here. Float on the surface and look down into an endless world of blue, then make your way around to ‘the Bridge’, where the visibility is always great and the untouched coral swarms with all different types of colourful fish and marine life. After you’ve had your fill of snorkelling, return to Dahab for an evening feast at a waterside restaurant, or maybe head inland to Assalah, where local joints serve up plates of roast chicken and falafel with regional beer.
Today, you’ll experience the contrast between seaside Dahab and the wonderfully chaotic capital city of Cairo. Transfer to Sharm El Sheikh Airport and take the short flight to Cairo. Cairo is one of the great cities of antiquity and its history can be embodied by two of its imposing landmarks – the Pyramids of Giza and the Mosque of Mohammed Ali. Tonight, why not join your new travel mates for a celebratory dinner in the city – your local leader will know of some delicious places to eat.
This morning enjoy a guided tour of the legendary Pyramids of Giza and the iconic Sphinx. Sole survivors from the ancient Greek-listed Seven Wonders of the World, the pyramids are the planet’s oldest tourist attraction! Gaze in awe at Cheops (Khufu) – the largest of the three great pyramids.
Next stop is the Grand Egyptian Museum, home to a vast exhibition of ancient Egyptian treasures, including many items from the tomb of King Tutankhamun. This incredible 490,000 sq.m complex showcases artefacts being displayed for the first time, with many items having been brought together from across Egypt and the world. After your guided tour of the museum, you’ll visit the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, where you can explore a vast collection of statues, jewellery, and sarcophagi. Among its treasures are several well-preserved mummies, including those of Yuya and Thuyu, King Tutankhamun’s great-grandparents, as well as many other royal and non-royal figures. Some of the mummies on display are so well preserved that you can still see details like hair, fingernails, and even the smooth, darkened skin.
This evening consider heading out to dinner at one of the restaurants that offer fantastic views of Cairo and the Nile. Ask your guide for some recommendations!
