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, 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.

I had a great time in the trip. I enjoyed new experiences on an overnight Felucca. The guide was great fun, enthusiastic and helpful. He’s also very knowledgeable - local expert. I would recommend this trip to anyone who is interested in Egypt.

One Week in Jordan

alex · Traveled August 2024

I loved exploring Jordan with Intrepid! Our guide Mohammed was very knowledgeable, and taught us lots about the history and culture of this beautiful country. He also had a cracking sense of humour, and by the end it felt like a holiday with a group of friends!

Turkey Highlights

Emma · Traveled August 2024

Incredible trip that captures the beauty of Turkey in a small amount of time! We visited so many beautiful places and got to be apart of authentic cultural experiences. Kaan was an excellent tour guide and made the trip even better!
