The Middle East is living, breathing proof of an old maxim: you don’t know, until you go.

Forget the headlines and the hyperbole; this is the cradle of civilizations, an ancient land emerging as a modern power, with the money, culture and panache to back it up. Ride camels with Bedouin tribespeople across the dunes of the Sahara, haggle for gold in the souqs of downtown Amman, marvel at the Blue Mosque on a Turkey trip, cruise the Nile beneath the white sail of a felucca or float forever in the mineral-rich waters of the Dead Sea. Wherever you go, three things will follow: the faint scent of cloves and camel, the echoing call to prayer and the smiles of people that call this place home.

Classic Egypt

Neil · Traveled April 2024

We’re usually independent travellers but were apprehensive about tackling Egypt on our own. An Intrepid small group tour gave us the best of both worlds - avoiding a big coach tour but having the organisation taken care of. Excellent!

Essential Egypt

The tour covers everything you could want to see in Egypt and our tour guide Wael was exceptional. 10/10, would recommend.

Essential Egypt

Solana · Traveled April 2024

I booked this tour with my friend. We are both well traveled and this was our first time using a tour group. This totally changed our prospective of guided group travel. This tour surpassed all of our expectations. Loved how well planned this was with consistent direction and low stress. We felt extremely safe the entire time. Our tour guide was Wael Ali. Not only was he extremely organized and well educated on Egyptian history, he also provided lots of laughs and good vibes! This was a once in a lifetime experience. Hands down the highlight of the trip is the felucca!

It was my first time en Egypt and intrepid made this experience Unforgettable, as the name said this is an intrepid adventure so be prepared for things that perhaps will not meet your expectations but this is not a five star hotel experience, this will be a life experience.
