For example, in Wadi Rum, the desert camps (where we spend a couple of nights on all of our Jordan tours) are operated by men. In these close confines, it\u2019s not socially accepted for men to be alone with our female travellers, so the opportunities for interaction are limited.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"\/adventures\/sana-female-intrepid-leader-india\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>RELATED: MEET SANA, THE INTREPID LEADER DEFYING GENDER STEREOTYPES IN INDIA<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>By the same token, many of the opportunities our groups have to spend time with local women are in the presence of men, and in a controlled environment. You don\u2019t find women in a lot of the roles you typically would around the globe (for example, in Jordan housekeeping is almost entirely done by men). \u00a0This means that there are limited options for travellers to really understand women in their real, everyday lives. The consequence of this can be a genuine misunderstanding of women in the region; misconceptions, stereotypes and generalisations that only contribute to a pretty wide cultural rift.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Breaking apart the misconceptions<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_25774\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25774\" class=\"size-full wp-image-25774\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Intrepid-Travel-iran_food_HR_049A6126.jpg\" alt=\"A group of female travellers in Iran\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Intrepid-Travel-iran_food_HR_049A6126.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Intrepid-Travel-iran_food_HR_049A6126-425x239.jpg 425w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Intrepid-Travel-iran_food_HR_049A6126-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Intrepid-Travel-iran_food_HR_049A6126-585x329.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-25774\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Damien Raggatt<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Iran is a great example of this. Travellers often arrive with a perception of Iranian women that\u2019s way off track. Many travellers assume that women aren\u2019t allowed to drive or work, or get an education without a man\u2019s permission, and that they\u2019re highly conservative and religious. And while there\u2019s no doubt that you <em>will<\/em> see super conservative, religious women dressed head-to-toe in the <em>chador<\/em> (meaning \u2018tent\u2019 in Farsi) during your time in Iran, you\u2019ll also encounter the country\u2019s other side. Half of Iran\u2019s population is under 35 years old, so you\u2019ll find far more young Iranian women with head scarfs pushed back low on the head, wearing bright coloured clothing (some of it figure-hugging) and high heels, and immaculately made-up with red lipstick and nails.<\/p>\n<p>In Iran, we\u2019re proud to boast a team of local leaders that are made up mostly of women, who are representative of a large percentage of Iranian women. They are fully integrated into the workforce; young, modern, independent, and highly educated (most young Iranians have one, if not two, university degrees). \u00a0Although gender segregation is not typically Iranian, strict dress codes imposed by Islamic Law have meant many places and ways of life have become segregated by default; beauty salons, parks, women-only subway carriages and overnight trains, gyms and yoga studios.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_25770\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25770\" class=\"size-full wp-image-25770\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Intrepid-Travel-iran_food_HR_049A2094.jpg\" alt=\"Female travellers at a market\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Intrepid-Travel-iran_food_HR_049A2094.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Intrepid-Travel-iran_food_HR_049A2094-425x239.jpg 425w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Intrepid-Travel-iran_food_HR_049A2094-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Intrepid-Travel-iran_food_HR_049A2094-585x329.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-25770\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Damien Raggatt<\/p><\/div>\n<p>In post-revolution Iran, opening a beauty salon was among one of the most conventional ways for Iranian women to attain financial independence. So, what if you could head to the local salon with your Iranian female leader to get your nails done? During this expedition, our travellers will step inside this hidden world which has become an oases for many of Iran&#8217;s women. Off-limits to men, headscarves and coats can be removed, music is turned up, and the conversation is lively. Not what you expect when you think of Iran, right? When you visit, you discover that in many ways these women are no different to you, or me, or your sister, or your mother.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, these expeditions are about breaking down barriers, fostering discussions, and debunking misconceptions.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Where can you travel on a Women\u2019s Expedition?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_25772\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25772\" class=\"size-full wp-image-25772\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Intrepid-Travel-iran_food_HR_049A2278.jpg\" alt=\"A cooking class\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Intrepid-Travel-iran_food_HR_049A2278.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Intrepid-Travel-iran_food_HR_049A2278-425x239.jpg 425w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Intrepid-Travel-iran_food_HR_049A2278-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Intrepid-Travel-iran_food_HR_049A2278-585x329.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-25772\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Damien Raggatt<\/p><\/div>\n<p>In Iran, travellers will experience the hidden world of an Iranian beauty salon, wander through a female-only park, take a yoga class with local women, travel by public transport in the female-only carriage of the metro, local bus and overnight train, immerse themselves in rural nomadic life with a female host in a remote homestay with the Qashqai people, meet young female entrepreneurs, and shop, cook and learn secret recipes.<\/p>\n<p>In <a href=\"\/morocco\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Morocco<\/a>, we\u2019ll visit the bustling city of Marrakech before breaking bread with Berber families in their homes, see how an artist-run co-op is empowering female rug-weavers in small villages, witness the lush beauty of the far-flung Bougmez Valley, and experience a traditional <em>hammam<\/em> (Moroccan bath) with local women.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">And in Jordan, we spend a night in Wadi Rum to learn the ancient art of Henna with Bedouin women, discovering how Kohl has been used for years \u2013 not just as a beauty product \u2013 but to protect the eyes from the harsh desert sands.
