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 would highly recommend this trip if you are seeking an introduction to Turkey. It includes a really diverse range of activities, from historical sights to ocean swims. Alkis was an excellent leader!

Explore Jordan

Navtej · Traveled August 2024

Petra had been top of my list of sites that I wanted to see for so long. Thanks to Intrepid for making it happen and for making it a thoroughly enjoyable experience too. Travelling with a great group of people and have a great guide added also positively contributed to the whole experience.

Turkey Highlights

Loved this trip, some of the drives were long but so worth it. If you are time poor and want to see the best Turkey has to offer I would highly recommend this trip.

This was a trip of a lifetime! Egypt was top of my bucket list and this trip exceeded all expectations! If you are fortunate enough to have Mahmoud as a guide you are in great hands. He made us all feel safe and is very knowledgeable. I will be recommending this trip to friends and family. Thank you Mahmoud and intrepid for an outstanding trip
