Ancient Egyptians believed that upon death, they would be asked two questions, and their answers would determine whether they could continue their journey in the afterlife. The first question was “Did you bring joy?” the second was “Did you find joy?”

We’ve all been down a long hard road since the pandemic, but we believe it’s time to find our joy again – and there are so many wonderful places to do it! So, why not start with Egypt?

Here are scenes from our last group trip to Jordan in November 2021. Keep in mind this video depicts the fact they this group went to Egypt and Jordan, while of course this main journey is Jordan only. But we do have an optional pre-extension to Egypt that is highly recommended to combine both into one grand adventure! Click here for details on Egypt.
