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.

Jordan Discovery

A wonderful introduction to this country often overlooked by Westerners. The history, the culture and the place Jordan holds in this complicated part of the world is a revelation. A generous and welcoming culture of great history.

The itinerary was great - Wadi Rum was a great 2 days and Petra was of course the star of the show

Turkey Highlights

Lindsay · Traveled April 2024

This was my first trip with Intrepid. I have always had a fascination with Turkeyie and finally made the trip. With all honesty it exceeded my expectations and has given me a whole new perspective on the region. Our guide Kamill was knowledgeable, engaging and went well above what one would expect. His passion for his country and future was reassuring. A beautiful country with embedded memories for my wife and I.
