If you've always wanted to catch a glimpse of ancient wonders or puzzled over the Bible's famous burning bush or Mount Sinai, then a tour of Egypt or Jordan may be the perfect vacation for you. There are many trips available for each location, and some which span both countries in the same tour. For the budget conscious, there are a few cheaper options. A good money-saving tactic is to opt to stay in cheaper hotels, since many tours offer the choice.

Cairo Stopover
Travel EG offers a four-day, three-night tour of Cairo and the Great Pyramids, which includes three-star hotels in Cairo, daily tours with an English-speaking guide, breakfast, car service and tax fees for one lump-sum price. The length of each tour is a group decision. Groups are for no fewer than 10 people. The trip begins in Cairo, where a guide helps all tourists with luggage and passports. From there, the tour will take you to Cheops, Chephren, The Hanging Church and more.
