I beleive linen and cotton would wrinkle a lot....any other suggestions???? shoes can be sneakers...am a female traveling by myself so anything else you can add will be deeply apperciated,thank you

Not all cotton wrinkles, especially if it is mixed with something else, loose clothes are also very comfortable in the heat.

Sneakers will be fine.

Jordan will indeed be the same as Egypt on that issue and for the footwear, just be aware that when sightseeing you should expect either sandy and rocky grounds (the pyramids for example) or not the cleanest streets you had ever walked through (Islamic Cairo for example) so better keep your feet covered in either of these situat9ions.

My partner and I are also planning a trip to Egypt and Jordan at the end of Oct to mid-Nov. We are thinking 3 weeks altogether.

We have seen some itineraries on North American tour operators which we like, such as Tour Code: EG5, Egypt & Jordan

Lands of the Middle East (www.adventures-abroad.com/viewinit.php…). The itinerary in brief is: Cairo, Luxor, Nile cruise, Aswam, Abu Simbel, Cairo, Amman, Petra, Wadi Rum, Dead Sea, Amman. We would also consider adding Alexandria, St. Catherine and Jerash.

We have found local operators who offer the Egyptian and Jordanian portions individually, but haven't found any which would offer such a combined package. Can anyone recommend a reputable operator who would offer such a package? Would such a local operator be simply reselling someone else's package which we could easily arrange ourselves separately?

Do the local experts on this forum have recommendations for other arrangements?

Thanks in advance.
