Middle East Tours & Travel | Intrepid Travel

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 civilisations, 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, 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.

Cycle Jordan (Petra & Wadi Rum), May 2018

John Green

I absolutely loved this trip, we were lucky to have a great bunch of people in our group. Fabulous cycling, sometimes a bit challenging especially the off road cycling. In general the hotels were very good. The trip to Petra was spectacular, be prepared for a long day!

Discover Israel & the Palestinian Territories, June 2018

Dorothy Davidson

We thoroughly enjoyed our Israel and Palestinian trip. Our guide made the journey interesting and we learnt so much about a country we had only ever seen on the news. The history and culture make Israel a top ‘go to’ destination and Intrepid made it easy and fun for us.

Egypt Adventure, June 2018

Juliana Amiri

Egypt! absolutely mysterious. Everything from the pyramids to the Nubian dinner and the felucca ride stood out to me. Karnak Temple took my breath away. This tour was organized in great details and nothing was left out. Many thanks to our guide, Maged Bothos, for his enthusiasm and attention to details which made our trip enjoyable and memorable. Sunscreen, hat, and water flask (to keep the water cold) is a must. If you have low tolerance for heat skip the hot months, it's not a joke to walk around the heated temples on 46/115 degree. Try not to be picky, practice your negotiation skills with the determined merchants (I failed miserably at this) and do some research about the sites, cities and culture prior to getting on the plane.

As a solo woman traveler I could not recommend Intrepid enough for its small numbers, it's local knowledge and incredibly professional guides. I have never experienced such a stress free time whilst being away. Our guide, Ahmed, in Egypt was incredible. I will be using Intrepid again!!
