Dave, MinnesotaÂ
Dave always wanted to travel beyond his hometown in Minnesota but wasn’t sure how. On our Egypt Experience trip, with an Intrepid local leader and a group of like-minded travellers from around the world, Dave discovered new places, foods and cultures. From a bucket-list camel ride beside the Pyramids, to laughing alongside locals at a homestay in Aswan, Dave opened himself up to new experiences and did things he never thought possible.

Dave's Top 5 Egypt Experiences
5. Browsing bazaars of Aswan
Aswan has some of the country's best bazaars. With loads of free time, Dave shopped for souvenirs, and experienced the local culture.
4. Cruising the Nile
Dave never imagined he’d be floating down the Nile, relaxing on the sundeck of a felucca. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
3. Meeting locals in Luxor
Home to the Valley of the Kings, Luxor is a must-visit on any Egypt trip. For Dave, though, the highlight was meeting the locals.
2. Visiting the pyramids
The Pyramids of Giza are an impressive sight. With Intrepid, Dave got the local perspective and learned things you won’t find in a guidebook.
1. Sharing the experience
Egypt was on Dave’s bucket list. The only thing better than ticking it off his list, was sharing the experience with a small group of new friends from around the world.
FROM MINNESOTA TO MACHU PICCHU: HOW A MOUNTAIN CHANGED A MAN
"Every time I stopped to look around, I could only grin as I realized that this was real life. I was not going to rush this, but rather indulge in every moment. As I experienced each new scene, I also began to notice that my travel companions were no longer strangers to me, but felt more familiar than any friend at home."
