Daily Itinerary

1. Day 1

   Dead Sea

   Jordan

   

   The Dead Sea is the lowest point on Earth, a mineral-rich body of water on the Jordan Rift Valley floor where the extreme salinity makes floating effortless and the therapeutic muds have been prized since antiquity. Must-dos include floating in the buoyant waters, bathing in the Ma'in hot springs' thermal waterfalls, and visiting the UNESCO-listed Baptism Site. October through April offers comfortable temperatures, with spring and autumn ideal for combining the Dead Sea with Petra and Amman.

   Petra

   Spain

   

   Petra is a historic village in the interior of Mallorca, Spain, celebrated as the birthplace of Junípero Serra and treasured for its medieval sandstone architecture, baroque convent, and the panoramic Santuari de Bonany. Visitors should explore the Serra museum and taste authentic sobrassada and ensaïmada at a village bakery, pairing them with wines from the local Pla i Llevant vineyards. The ideal months to visit are April through June and September through October, when the almond groves are lush, the light is golden, and the village belongs entirely to those who seek it.

5. Day 5

   Aswan

   Egypt

   

   Aswan, Egypt's sunniest city and its ancient southern frontier, offers the Nile at its most scenic — wide, blue, and studded with felucca-dotted islands where temples emerge from the water's edge like visions from another age. The Temple of Philae, rescued from the rising waters of Lake Nasser and reassembled on a new island, is a jewel of Egyptian antiquity; Elephantine Island harbors ruins spanning predynastic times to the Roman era. For the full pharaonic experience, a sunset felucca ride to the Aga Khan Mausoleum rivals any luxury on the Nile. October through April offers the most comfortable temperatures; Abu Simbel is a short flight south.

    Cairo

    Egypt

    

    Cairo, where five thousand years of civilization press upon the present with relentless intensity, is anchored by the Great Pyramid of Giza — the sole survivor of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, already ancient when Cleopatra walked in its shadow. The Egyptian Museum's overwhelming treasure trove of pharaonic antiquities, including the golden mask of Tutankhamun, and the medieval labyrinth of Islamic Cairo, a UNESCO-listed district of a thousand mosques and medieval caravanserais, offer a lifetime of discovery in a city of twenty million souls.
