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.

Explore Jordan

Mohammad · Traveled April 2024

Jordan is safe despite what is happening around its neighbours. Highlight was Wadi Rum, it was unreal.

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!
