10‑Day Egypt & Jordan Historic Tour from Cairo: Aswan Nile Cruise, Pyramids, Petra, Dead Sea

Great Egypt and Jordan Tour

I traveled with my husband and son on a private tour and loved it. We’re not disappointed. It exceeded our expectations. The service was great, the hotels are awesome. From the time our plane landed, there was someone assisting us to get to our service van to bring us to our hotel. The guides allocated to us are very knowledgeable and attentive. You cannot go wrong with Tours4fun.
