Jordan & Egypt (Madaba, Wadi Araba, Dahab, Sinai, Cairo)

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Jordan and Egypt together form one of the Middle East's great overland routes, connecting ancient civilisations, desert landscapes, and Red Sea coastline. On the Jordanian side, Madaba is famed for its Byzantine-era mosaics — including the oldest surviving map of the Holy Land — while the Wadi Araba desert corridor runs along the Rift Valley toward the Israeli and Egyptian borders. Crossing into Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, Dahab is a laid-back Red Sea town beloved by divers, freedivers, and backpackers drawn to sites like the Blue Hole. Cairo anchors the journey with the Pyramids of Giza, Islamic old city, and a chaotic, captivating energy that has defined this megalopolis for millennia.

Jordan to Egypt: The Sinai Peninsula & the Red Sea — Self-Launched

A do-it-yourself run of G Adventures' 8-day "Jordan to Egypt: The Sinai Peninsula & The Shimmering Red Sea" (trip code DJMR). You'll start among Madaba's mosaics, camp under the stars after a 4x4 trip into Wadi Araba, cross the Gulf of Aqaba to laid-back Dahab on Egypt's Red Sea, snorkel the Blue Hole, sleep near the world's oldest working Christian monastery, and summit Mount Sinai for sunrise before rolling into Cairo past the Suez Canal. The same route, booked independently: local buses, a shared 4x4 with Bedouin drivers, the Aqaba–Nuweiba ferry, and hostel/guesthouse beds instead of a group tour. All costs are rough per-person estimates in GBP and exclude international flights.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Jordan & Egypt (Madaba, Wadi Araba, Dahab, Sinai, Cairo) yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn the first 20 seconds of a local dance, then perform it, uninvited, at every bar you visit."
