Pre- or post-trip extensions

On this adventure, you have the following extensions to choose from:

Jordan: Amman, Petra & the Dead Sea

7 nights Pre-trip

Explore the legendary monuments in Jordan beginning in the capital of Amman. Then, witness relics of an ancient civilization in Petra, carved into rose-colored cliff sides. End your time in Jordan along the banks of the legendary Dead Sea, where people come from across the world to float in the rich salt waters.

Alexandria: History & Romance

4 nights Post-trip

Founded by Alexander the Great in 332 BC, Alexandria rose to fame during Cleopatra’s reign, when visitors from across the ancient world came to view its splendor. Witness the spacious boulevards, Pharaonic catacombs, and lavish architecture of Egypt's legendary city of Alexandria.

Here's why 36% of travelers take these extensions:

You’ll maximize your discoveries—often in an even smaller group (average of 15 with a dedicated Trip Experience Leader) than your main adventure—and enhance your value by lowering your per-day costs because you’re taking advantage of your already included international airfare.
Our extensions include all accommodations, daily breakfasts, airport transfers, and other features.

Arrive Early

Expand your discoveries by spending one, two, three—or more—days abroad in the first destination on your pre-trip extension or main adventure. By arriving early, you’re able to rest after your long flight and acclimate to your new destination and time zone—or you can hit the ground running and explore on your own.

Choosing this option lets you take advantage of our lower group rates and includes your accommodations, private airport transfer, and daily breakfast. On this adventure, you can choose from the following options:

Arrive early in Cairo before your main adventure — Travel from $570 per room per night
Arrive early in Amman before your Jordan pre-trip extension — Travel from $270 per room per night

Arrive Early

2. Add a stay in a city not already offered by O.A.T. as a Stopover. If you choose to take advantage of this option, our Travel Counselors can help you book your international airfare. You are free to choose however you’d like to spend this additional time exploring, including the tours you take, activities you plan, and restaurants you visit. If you’d like ideas about how to spend this time and what to see and do, our Travel Counselors can provide recommendations when helping you plan this option.

Air preferences

See some of the ways that 54% of O.A.T. travelers are personalizing their air itineraries on this adventure:

Choose your departure city, airline carrier, and preferred routing 
Depart from one city and return to another 
Upgrade your seat to Premium Economy or Business Class for a more relaxing experience to and from your adventure. Each airline has its own unique upgrade features, but here are the common perks associated with each class: Premium Economy normally features a larger seat, more leg room, and priority boarding, and Business Class features a smaller number of travelers in this section of the plane, a larger seat that can recline, more leg room, and priority boarding. Many travelers choose to upgrade their seat en route to the first destination on their adventure to arrive more rested and ready to explore—you can choose to upgrade for your roundtrip flight, or just one-way.

Freedom of choice during your adventure

We’ve carefully crafted this itinerary to provide a balance of included activities and free time, so you always have the flexibility to participate in included activities, go off on your own entirely, or do a mix of both. Whether it's on your optional extension or main itinerary, your Trip Experience Leader is available to help you pursue your own personal interests, and will help you with transportation, tickets, or anything else you need.

The choice is yours
