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.

Egypt Adventure, August 2018

Bring meds for an upset tummy (it happens to all of us 😉💩), drinks LOTS of water, wear sunscreen, learn a few phrases of the local language (eshta!), do an Urban Adventures tour in Cairo to flesh out the experience ahead of your longer tour in Egypt. 🤗

Jordan Discovery, August 2018
Margus Kask
The temperature in Jordan in August is very hot, especially at the Dead Sea. Make sure to keep yourself hydrated and seek shade as much as possible.

Intrepid is an impressive company to travel with which is enriched and made all the more worthwhile by their local tour leaders who are endlessly generous in their time, knowledge and wisdom. They offer a comprehensive taste of foreign countries and it was a real treat to travel with them.

Egypt Experience, July 2018
David Lunn
Egypt Experience was great value for money. The history ( dating back 2500 years ) was an eye opener to Australians who can only relate to 300 years. Our Group Leader Mahmoud Fahmy was extremely knowledgeable and willing to share with us. Showed appropriate concern for our safety and comfort for the entire trip. Trip inclusions covered all aspects of history and local culture, with sufficient free time to arrange additional sites. I have now used Intrepid and affiliated companies for 6 trips and have always found them very professional to safety and enjoyment for all. Well done.

We have travelled with Intrepid before, and will definitely do it again. The company's views and morals are excellent and their staff follow suit. We recommend Intrepid not only for ourselves, but friends and family also.

Ask for Ahmed Badhr as your Egypt guide - phenomenal knowledge & personable guide. Be prepared for heat of Egyptian summer- wear hat, drink plenty of water & respect their culture by what you wear.

Explore Jordan, August 2018
Luan Lunt
Be prepared for a lot of walking and even a bit of scrabbling/ climbing up rocks to get some amazing views! Some of the highlights of this trip for me were discovering just how big/impressive Petra actually is (well more than just the famous building from Indiana Jones!), lying under the amazing starlit sky in the desert and watching the sun set over Wadi Rum. If you like exploring different cultures and seeing amazing sights, with a lot of walking thrown in, then this trip is for you. Oh, and the falafel sandwiches are the best I've ever had!!
