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.

Our guide brought knowledge and passion to our trip here in Jordan. We left with a truly great experience. Intrepid has the best guides and planning from the moment you get off the plane at your destination and throughout the entire trip. Completely stress free and enjoyable and the only thing you have to do is be amazed at the destination.

Jordan is a wonderful place, I would highly recommend this trip, it is one of the best I’ve done. I felt very safe and welcome at all times on the trip and I learnt so much about the culture and history of Jordan from our guide who was brilliant!

Walk the highlights of the Lycian Way

Fozia · Traveled April 2024

This was a fantastic trip. If you go on regular hikes and walks this will be perfect for you. A good mix of hikes at different levels. Fantastic food and accommodation and the world’s best guide! Ask for Serra. She was incredible in all areas and made the trip what it was.

Jordan & Egypt Express

Lisa · Traveled April 2024

Our tour Leader, Yazan was highly knowledgeable in the history of the Middle East and Jordan. I can’t imagine a more educated Leader. Jordan is a safe country with friendly people. I would recommend to travel to Jordan with Intrepid Travel.
