There is nothing better than a good cup of tea, and one of the most storied teas in Egypt was found in Aswan, in southern Egypt, at the Old Cataract Hotel, a British colonial hotel from 1899. The Old Cataract Hotel is in a grand setting, perched on a granite bluff overlooking the Nile. The historic, luxurious property has retained its Victorian character, and has played host to a variety of luminaries and dignitaries over the years, including Winston
Churchill.

Agatha Christie, once a resident of the hotel, wrote Death on the Nile while sitting on the terrace. The iconic property is surrounded by lush plants and palms and lovely landscaping, including a giant fountain. While at the tea, you can sample different teas and flavors from around the world. The tea is composed of a three-layer plate stand filled with goodies, including finger sandwiches, desserts and fruit. After your tea, be sure to check out the grand lobby with its historic furnishings, photos and pieces of art combining Egyptian and French influences.

Total duration of this outing is about 90 minutes.

Day 2: November 19, 2027 – Amman/Jerash/Amman

After breakfast, enjoy a tour of the old city of Amman, exploring the Citadel and the Roman Theater, two of the most popular archaeological sites in the city.

We will continue overland to Jerash, the Graeco-Roman city [ancient Gerasa], and close second to Petra on the list of favorite destinations in Jordan. Boasting an unbroken chain of human occupation dating back more than 6,500 years, and hidden for centuries in sand before being excavated and restored over the past 70 years, Jerash is a fine example of the grand, formal and provincial Roman towns found throughout the Middle East. One can walk beneath four imposing gates or down the “Street of Columns” north from the “Oval Plaza” while stepping over the tracks of chariot wheels still visible in the paving stones.

Tonight, we’ll enjoy dinner at Romero Restaurant in Amman. (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)

Accommodation: 5* Amman St Regis Hotel

Day 3: November 20, 2027 – Amman/Wadi Rum/Petra

After breakfast, we drive to Wadi Rum, a striking desert-scape also known as the “Valley of the Moon.” Traverse the desert by 4×4 in the place where Prince Faisal Bin Hussein and T.E. Lawrence based their headquarters during the Arab Revolt against the Ottomans in World War I – their exploits are  intrinsically woven into the history of this amazing area. See the Seven Pillars of Wisdom along with many other interesting sites.

From here, we continue to Petra and check in to the Movenpick Hotel. Tonight, we enjoy dinner together at the hotel. (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)

Accommodation: Movenpick Resort Hotel Petra

Day 4: November 21, 2027 – Petra

After a nourishing breakfast at the hotel, we spend a full day exploring the “Rose-Red City” of Petra, a UNESCO World Heritage Site sculpted from a mountain range by the Nabataeans in the third century BC. Visit the Temple of Winged Lions, the Corinthian Tomb and the Palace Tomb. Other major sites include the Treasury, the baths, markets and storerooms.

You’ll have time for lunch before some time to continue exploring this magnificent site at your leisure. Perhaps take a hike to the Monastery, which boasts incredible views of the rose-red canyons below.

Later, return to the Movenpick for some time to refresh before another festive included dinner. (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)

Accommodation: Movenpick Resort Hotel Petra

Accommodation: 5* Kempinski Ishtar Hotel

Day 6: November 23, 2027 – Dead Sea/Bethany/Mount Nebo/Madaba/Amman

After breakfast, drive to Bethany to visit the reputed site of Jesus’ baptism. Continue on to Mount Nebo, the highest point in the Moabite Mountain range, offering a remarkable view of the Jordan Valley, then drive to Madaba, “the City of Mosaics”. Madaba’s chief attraction, the contemporary Greek Orthodox Church of St. George is a wonderfully vivid, sixth-century Byzantine mosaic map showing Jerusalem and other holy sites. (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)
