About Egypt
If you like REALLY old stuff, a lot of sand and plenty of camels... you have come to the right place! Visit the land of the almighty pyramids, the pharaohs and the mummies. Take a boat ride on the Nile with a traditional felukka. Or enjoy excellent snorkeling and diving near Hurghada. Don't miss the great Egyptian Museum in Cairo, one the world's best! Egypt really has a lot to offer.

About Jordan
Jordan is a friendly, peaceful country in the Middle East. With close neighbours like Syria, Iraq/Iran, Saudi Arabia and Israel that isn't always easy. Of course there is a lot of sand and many camels, but you can also find great diving sites (Aqaba), Nature (Wadi Arum) and ancient cities like the world famous Petra.
