We are finally doing this trip in mid January. I have a question for those who have spent extra time in Amman Jordan at the Kempinski Ishtar before the tour, and extra time at the Marriott Mina house. We have extra time pre-and post the Tauck tour .We were thinking about doing an Amman city tour as well as a tour to the baptism site of Jesus along the Jordan River. We can book this through the concierge at the Kempinski Ishtar. Has anyone done this ? thoughts? Muses? In addition, we were thinking about doing two tours at the Marriott Mena house outside of Cairo. The first one was the pyramid Light tour at night and a second one was a general city tour of Cairo. Does anyone have any experience doing these additional tours? Are they worth it? When I look at the itinerary it really doesn’t seem as though Tauck shows you very much in Cairo. It is limited to Coptic Cairo, and then the market. I’m sure we would like to spend more time in the souk than what Tauck gives us and there is probably more to see than just Coptic Cairo. Any advice would be welcome. Thank you.
