Day 1 — Arrival in Amman: First Impressions of Jordan
We landed at Queen Alia International Airport around 1 pm and completed the visa-on-arrival process before being cleared for entry. After immigration, we exchanged US dollars into Jordanian dinars at the airport.
For connectivity, we picked up an Umniah SIM card offering 4G coverage with 35 GB of data, valid for ten days—more than sufficient for navigation, ride bookings, and daily use throughout Jordan.
Our transfer into the city was via inDrive, arranged from the Careem counter outside the airport. The ride took us into central Amman and dropped us at The Cabin Hostel, our base for the night.
In the evening, we headed to Hashem Restaurant, one of Amman’s most iconic local eateries in Downtown. Dinner was a traditional Jordanian spread featuring stuffed falafel, mixed hummus, warm pita bread, fresh pickles and vegetables (mezze), accompanied by aromatic Arabic black tea infused with fresh mint.
We ended the night with a classic dessert—Nabulsi kunafa from Habibah Sweets, a must-try in Jordan and the perfect sweet introduction to the country.
Day 2 — Floating in the Dead Sea (Earth’s Lowest Point) & Experiencing Petra by Night
We started the day with a visit to O Beach Resort, which offered direct access to the Dead Sea along with shower facilities, a rejuvenating mud bath, and a relaxed buffet lunch.
Floating in the Dead Sea is not just a novelty—it’s a rare natural phenomenon that exists nowhere else on Earth. Located at the lowest point on the planet, the Dead Sea’s extremely high salt concentration makes sinking physically impossible.
⚠️ Important Tips Before Floating in the Dead Sea
Floating in the Dead Sea is unforgettable—but it comes with a few important precautions:
- Do not drink the water. The extremely high salt concentration can cause serious discomfort and dehydration if swallowed.
- Avoid entering if you have fresh cuts, bruises, or shaved skin. The salt will sting intensely—even tiny scratches can burn sharply.
- Do not let the water enter your eyes. If it does, rinse immediately with fresh water (most resorts have showers nearby).
- Do not splash or dive. Always float gently on your back—never attempt to swim normally or submerge your head.
- Limit your time in the water to around 10–15 minutes at a stretch.
- Shower immediately after floating to wash off the salt and prevent skin irritation.
The Dead Sea is safe and incredible when approached mindfully. Respect its intensity, move slowly, and let nature do the work—you’ll have one of the most unique floating experiences on Earth.
After floating, showering and a delicious buffet lunch, we set off on a long but scenic road journey to Petra—a drive that gradually shifted from coastal landscapes to dramatic desert terrain. Our driver, Osama, made the journey comfortable and unhurried. Along the way, we also stopped to withdraw local currency from an Arab Bank ATM.
By evening, we reached Petra, checked in to our hotel, and headed straight to the Petra Visitor Centre to purchase tickets for Petra by Night—a magical experience that offers a completely different perspective of the ancient city.
Before the night walk began, we stopped at Coffee on Fire near the visitor centre, where we relaxed with cappuccino, Turkish coffee, a falafel-hummus sandwich, and a side of French fries.
Petra by Night takes place between 8:30 PM and 10:30 PM (Sunday to Thursday) and tickets are purchased onsite at the Petra Visitor Centre.
The experience begins at the entrance of the Siq, from where visitors walk approximately 1.2 kilometres through the narrow sandstone gorge. The path is illuminated by over 2,000 candles, creating a soft, golden glow that dances across the towering rock walls and transforms the walk into something deeply atmospheric and almost ceremonial.
As the Siq opens up, the Treasury reveals itself—lit entirely by candlelight, dramatic yet intimate. Petra by Night is a guided evening experience that brings the ancient city to life through a blend of traditional Nabataean music, storytelling, and a carefully curated sound-and-light presentation.
Petra by Night doesn’t try to explain history—it allows you to feel it. It strips Petra of crowds, commentary, and cameras, replacing them with firelight, music, and stillness. For a brief moment, the modern world disappears, and Petra feels timeless again.
Why This Day Is Special:
Floating at the Dead Sea in the morning and standing before Petra’s Treasury at night—few days in travel offer contrasts this powerful.
Day 3 — Exploring Petra by Day & Into the Wadi Rum Desert
The day began early in Petra, allowing us to explore the site before the crowds set in. Entering through the Siq, a narrow sandstone canyon shaped by centuries of wind and water, felt almost theatrical—each step building anticipation until the Treasury revealed itself in full grandeur.
We spent the morning walking through Petra at our own pace, exploring royal tombs, carved facades, and ancient pathways that once formed the heart of the Nabataean civilisation. The scale of Petra is immense, and even a half-day visit offers a powerful glimpse into how advanced and prosperous this ancient city once was.
We chose to skip the Monastery, opting instead to soak in the details and atmosphere of the central archaeological area.
After exiting the site, we paused near the visitor centre to recharge. We enjoyed a relaxed local lunch at one of the nearby cafés, followed by ice cream and bottled water to cool down after hours of walking under the Jordanian sun. It was a simple but welcome break before continuing the journey.
Afterwards, we made our way south toward Wadi Rum, a dramatic desert landscape of red sand, granite mountains, and open skies. Often called the Valley of the Moon, Wadi Rum feels otherworldly—vast, silent, and deeply grounding.
By late afternoon, we arrived at Jamal Rum Camp, our home for the night. Shortly after settling in, we set out on a sunset jeep safari, covering some of the most iconic viewpoints in the desert—natural rock bridges, ancient inscriptions, and endless dunes glowing in warm golden light.
The journey usually includes a stop at Lawrence’s Spring, followed by Khazali Canyon, where ancient Nabataean and Thamudic inscriptions are etched into the rock walls, offering a glimpse into the desert’s long human history.
From there, the terrain opens up to the Red Sand Dunes, where deep crimson sands contrast dramatically with pale rock formations. The experience culminates at a sunset viewpoint overlooking the red desert mountains, as shifting light paints the landscape in shades of gold, orange, and rose.
With endless horizons and minimal visual noise, Wadi Rum is a dream for photographers—epic wide-angle shots, dramatic shadows, and untouched desert vistas at every turn. It’s a place where scale, silence, and space come together to create something truly unforgettable.
The evening unfolded around a bonfire with music, endless cups of sweet tea, conversations under the stars, and moments of quiet stargazing in one of the darkest skies we had ever seen.
As night fell, the camp came alive in a distinctly Bedouin way. Dinner was prepared in a traditional zarb, cooked underground and shared communally. The meal included fragrant Bedouin rice, roasted potatoes, carrots, zucchini, cauliflower, and mixed seasonal vegetables, all infused with smoky desert flavours. Alongside were classic Middle Eastern dishes such as lentil soup, hummus, baba ghanoush, tabbouleh, fattoush, and fresh salads, served with warm flatbread.
Sleeping in the desert, surrounded by silence and stars, felt timeless—one of those travel moments that lingers long after the journey ends.
Why Wadi Rum Is Unique:
This desert has been inhabited for over 12,000 years and feels almost otherworldly—no wonder it’s been the backdrop for countless films.
Day 4 — Exploring Amman’s Historic Landmarks & Farewell to Jordan
We woke up in Wadi Rum to a quiet desert morning, as the sun slowly rose over the red sand and rugged mountains. At the camp, we enjoyed a traditional Bedouin vegetarian breakfast spread—fresh hummus, crisp falafel, warm khubz (Arabic flatbread), labneh, olives, tomatoes, cucumbers, and olive oil.
Eating such simple, hearty food in the middle of the desert, surrounded by complete stillness, felt grounding in a way few travel moments do.
The drive back to Amman was relaxed, giving us time to reflect on the past few days. We picked up Dead Sea mud from Pillars of Jerusalem, a popular local shop known for authentic products.
Once back in the city, we stopped for lunch at Faisal Restaurant, where we enjoyed a comforting spread including kishkah with walnuts, vegetarian pizza, fries, sautéed vegetables, iced pistachio latte and iced americano.
Our first stop was the Amman Citadel, perched high on one of Amman’s hills. From here, we enjoyed sweeping panoramic views over the city’s whitewashed buildings, while exploring the remains of the Temple of Hercules and the Umayyad Palace—structures that reflect Amman’s Roman and early Islamic past.
Next, we made our way down to the Roman Theatre, a massive stone amphitheatre located in the heart of downtown. Built during the Roman era, it remains one of the best-preserved ancient theatres in the region and is still used for cultural events today.
In the late evening, we visited the King Abdullah I Mosque, instantly recognizable by its striking blue dome. Open to visitors, the mosque offered a peaceful contrast to the bustling streets outside and a glimpse into contemporary Islamic architecture in Jordan.
As night set in, we returned to Faisal Restaurant, this time to experience its lively atmosphere with candy flavored hookah, tea, iced mojito, and live Arabic music—an unexpectedly fun and local way to spend our last evening in Jordan.
After a final stroll and some quiet moments at the airport, we said goodbye to Jordan—grateful for its warmth, calm pace, and unforgettable landscapes.
Egypt is not a destination you visit—it’s one you encounter. Every street, stone, and temple reminds you how small time really is.

Day 5 — Cairo, Giza & Layers of Ancient Egypt
We arrived in Cairo in the early hours and exchanged US dollars into Egyptian pounds at the airport before heading into the city. After checking into our hotel near Giza, we set out toward the legendary Pyramids of Giza.
A short auto ride brought us to the Giza Plateau, where the scale of the pyramids immediately overwhelms you. Entry tickets to the complex (which includes access to the Great Sphinx) can be purchased onsite by card (cash not accepted). Standing before these 4,500-year-old structures feels surreal—no photograph prepares you for their magnitude.
Between exploring viewpoints, we picked up 2 scarves from local vendors and stopped at Moko Café near the pyramids for strawberry and royal hazelnut crunch ice cream—an unexpectedly refreshing break under the Egyptian sun.
After exploring the plateau, we took an Uber to the historic Saladin Citadel. The Citadel, built in the 12th century, offers panoramic views across Cairo’s vast skyline. Entry tickets are available onsite to be paid by card, and the complex includes mosques, museums, and courtyards worth wandering through slowly.
We grabbed packaged snacks and fresh mango and strawberry juice inside the complex and noticed something charmingly local—multiple wedding photoshoots happening against the backdrop of Cairo’s skyline.
From there, we headed to the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization, home to the Royal Mummies Hall. Seeing the preserved remains of 20 ancient pharaohs displayed with dignity and controlled lighting was one of the most powerful museum experiences of the trip.
We also picked up an Atisalat Egypt SIM card with 4G data for the month—reliable connectivity proved essential for Uber rides and navigation across Cairo.
We stopped by Drinkies Express, a well-known licensed beverage store chain in Egypt to pick up a bottle of wine, before heading to Maharaja Restaurant, where we enjoyed a comforting Indian meal to close the day.
By night, after a final taxi ride back to the hotel, we felt the full contrast of Cairo—ancient wonders by day, buzzing city energy by night. It was a day that spanned over 4,000 years of history in just a few hours.
Day 6 — Saqqara, Dahshur, Memphis & The Grand Egyptian Museum
After an intense introduction to Cairo’s icons, we dedicated this day to understanding the evolution of pyramid architecture—a journey that begins before Giza.
We hired a car from our hotel and our morning started at Saqqara, one of Egypt’s most important archaeological sites and home to the Step Pyramid of Djoser—the world’s first large-scale stone structure. Walking through Saqqara feels raw and expansive. Unlike Giza’s polished fame, Saqqara offers a deeper, quieter connection to ancient experimentation and ambition. We visited the Pyramid of Unas as well.
From there, we drove to Dahshur, where the Bent Pyramid and Red Pyramid stand in relative solitude. Dahshur represents the architectural transition from stepped pyramids to smooth-sided perfection. Entering the Red Pyramid, climbing through narrow corridors into its chamber, felt adventurous and surprisingly intimate—far less crowded than Giza.
We briefly stopped at Memphis, the ancient capital of Egypt, where massive statues—including a colossal Ramses II—offer context to the civilization’s political and artistic power.
In the afternoon, we visited the highly anticipated Grand Egyptian Museum. Located near the Giza Plateau, the GEM is designed to be the largest archaeological museum in the world dedicated to a single civilization. We purchased the tickets online and chose the 3 pm afternoon slot.
The scale is breathtaking—from the grand staircase lined with monumental statues to the modern exhibition halls thoughtfully narrating Egypt’s history. The museum bridges ancient storytelling with contemporary design, offering a powerful contrast to the tombs and pyramids we had seen earlier in the day.
We ended the visit with a relaxed meal of fries, falafel, iced latte, sugar cane juice, koshari, mint lemonade, dates and milk dessert – boghasha feteer at Zooba inside the museum complex before heading back toward central Cairo.
After checking out from our hotel, we took an Uber to the bus stop and boarded an overnight semi-sleeper bus heading south to Luxor. Watching Cairo’s city lights fade into desert darkness felt symbolic—leaving behind the northern capital to follow the Nile toward Luxor, where temples and royal tombs awaited.
Day 7 — Luxor: The World’s Greatest Open-Air Museum – West Bank Tombs & East Bank Temples
We arrived in Luxor early in the morning after our overnight journey from Cairo. Often called the world’s greatest open-air museum, Luxor sits on the banks of the Nile and was once ancient Thebes—the thriving capital of Egypt’s New Kingdom.
West Bank — Land of the Afterlife
We hired a taxi for half day and began our exploration on the West Bank, traditionally known as the “Land of the Dead”. Our first stop was the legendary Valley of the Kings (entry fees paid by card onsite), where generations of pharaohs were buried in elaborately decorated tombs hidden deep within desert cliffs. We visited Tomb of Rameses IV, IX, III, and Merenptah.
Descending into the tombs feels surreal—narrow corridors leading to vividly painted chambers filled with hieroglyphics, gods, and scenes depicting the journey to the afterlife. Even after thousands of years, the colours remain astonishingly vibrant. Visitor details and ticket information are available through Egypt’s official monuments portal.
Next, we visited the stunning Temple of Hatshepsut (entry fees paid by card onsite), dramatically set against limestone cliffs at Deir el-Bahari. Built for one of Egypt’s most powerful female pharaohs, the temple’s symmetrical terraces and colonnades make it one of the most architecturally unique monuments in the country.
A brief stop at the Colossi of Memnon followed—two massive seated statues that once guarded a grand temple complex long lost to time. The entry is free.
East Bank — Temples of the Living
After an open buffet lunch at Moon Valley restaurant, we crossed to Luxor’s East Bank, historically associated with life and worship.
We first explored the vast Karnak Temple (entry fees paid by card onsite), one of the largest religious complexes ever constructed. Walking through the Great Hypostyle Hall—home to 134 towering sandstone columns—felt almost overwhelming in scale. Every pillar is carved with intricate hieroglyphs, telling stories of gods, rulers, and rituals spanning centuries.
As evening approached, we visited Luxor Temple (entry fees paid by card onsite), beautifully positioned along the Nile. Seeing the temple at sunset added a golden glow to its statues and obelisks, creating one of the most atmospheric moments of the trip. Luxor Temple is especially striking because it remained a place of worship across multiple civilizations—Pharaonic, Roman, Christian, and Islamic—layered visibly within its walls.
We ended the day with dinner at A Taste of India, reflecting on how Luxor feels less like a city and more like an open chapter of ancient history.
By night, the scale of what we had seen began to sink in—royal tombs hidden in mountains, temples built for eternity, and stories carved into stone that have survived for over three millennia.
Why Luxor Is Extraordinary:
Nowhere else on Earth concentrates so much ancient history in one place.
Day 8 — Sunrise Hot Air Balloon & Return to Cairo
We began the day before dawn, crossing the Nile in near silence as the sky slowly shifted from deep indigo to soft gold. By early morning, we were gently lifting off for our sunrise flight (35 mins) with a licensed local operator over Luxor.
Floating high above the West Bank offered a completely different perspective from the day before. From the air, the geography of ancient Thebes becomes clear—the fertile green ribbon of the Nile cutting through desert, temple complexes aligned with cosmic precision, and villages waking up to morning light.
We could trace the outline of the Valley of the Kings, spot the terraces of the Temple of Hatshepsut, and watch the sun illuminate the desert cliffs that guard centuries of royal history.
There’s something profoundly peaceful about drifting in a hot air balloon—no engine noise, no rush—just wind, height, and horizon. As the sun rose fully, Luxor transformed into a patchwork of gold and green below us. It was easily one of the most serene and cinematic moments of the entire journey.
After landing and returning to our hotel for breakfast, we prepared for the long journey back north. By late morning, we boarded a day bus from Luxor to Cairo, watching the Nile Valley unfold once again from ground level.
We reached Cairo by evening and headed straight into the vibrant lanes of Khan El Khalili. The market comes alive after dark—lantern-lit alleys, spice aromas, shopkeepers calling out, and cafés filled with conversation. We had our dinner at Kohinoor Indian Restaurant in Khan E Khalili market.
We paused at the historic El Fishawy Cafe, one of Cairo’s oldest coffeehouses, operating for over 200 years, sipping mint tea and Turkish coffee while absorbing the atmosphere. The contrast between Luxor’s tranquil sunrise and Cairo’s electric night energy made the day feel beautifully balanced.
Before boarding our overnight bus, we had fresh strawberry and lemon juice at Malek Elbon in the Khan E Khalili market.
From floating above ancient tombs at dawn to wandering centuries-old markets after sunset, Day 8 was a reminder of how diverse and layered Egypt truly is.
Day 9 — Sharm El Sheikh & The Red Sea Vibe
After days immersed in tombs, temples, and ancient stone, we shifted gears completely and headed toward the coast. An overnight journey brought us to Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt’s laid-back Red Sea resort town known for coral reefs, turquoise waters, and a slower pace of life.
Located at the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula, Sharm feels worlds apart from Cairo and Luxor. Instead of hieroglyphs and desert cliffs, the landscape opens into blue horizons and sunlit beaches.
The morning unfolded slowly with a laid-back pasta lunch at the hotel and a relaxed wander along the coastline. The Red Sea’s clarity and color are striking—its reefs are among the most celebrated in the world, making the region a global hub for diving and snorkeling.
Later in the day, we visited the iconic Farsha Cafe, perched dramatically on a cliff overlooking the sea.
Farsha Café isn’t just a café—it’s an experience layered in time, light, and atmosphere. Perched dramatically on a cliff overlooking the Red Sea, it feels less like a commercial venue and more like a hidden Middle Eastern dreamscape.
What makes Farsha truly unique is its bohemian, maze-like layout. Seating is scattered across multiple levels carved into the rock, filled with mismatched cushions, low tables, carpets, lanterns, and candlelight. There’s no single “best seat”—every corner feels intimate and cinematic.
As evening approaches, the café transforms. Hundreds of lanterns and fairy lights are lit one by one, creating a warm golden glow against the darkening sea below. The soundscape is just as intentional—soft Arabic and world music blending with the sound of waves far beneath the cliff.
Farsha is also one of the few places in Sharm El Sheikh where time slows down completely. There’s no rush to order, no pressure to leave. We had cinnamon flavoured Shisha, hot chocolate and Saqqara beer—watching the sky change colours and the Red Sea disappear into the night.
Day 10 — Journey Home
The final day began quietly with a short Uber ride to the airport. As we boarded our flight home, it felt surreal to think how much we had experienced in just ten days—ancient cities, deserts, tombs, temples, seas, and stories that spanned thousands of years.
Some trips entertain you.
Some educate you.
Some stay with you long after they end.
This one did all three. 💚🧿🙏🏻
