THE TRIP IS A MUST! Great tour leader! Great activities and moments! My girlfriend and I had the time of our lives. It was truly a memory we will forever cherish. I cannot rave enough about how thankful I am for this trip and how much I recommend it!

Egypt is a dream come true destination! It’s more than just the pyramids. It’s the food, the people, the landscapes. I cannot recommend this tour enough! In fact, I wish I a longer tour with more days to experience this rich culture! Intrepid is so well organized and has activities I never knew I’d get to experiment, like getting home cooked meal by a Nubian family and sleeping on a felucca boat on the Nile. You need to do this tour!!

The visit to Egypt and Jordan was fantastic. It hit all the highlights and I would highly recommend the experience.
11/26/2023
Discovery of Egypt and Jordan: Great trip with lots of highlights and Mohsen (Egypt) and Mohammed (Jordan). We have some great memories and lots of pictures. The trips were more than I expected and both guides made the trip safe and very enjoyable to learn about both countries.
11/03/2023
A life changing experience, brilliant guide and very, very safe. I can’t wait to go back
10/21/2023
Out tour of Egypt was fantastic and hit all the highlights. Our tour guide Ahmed was extremely knowledgeable, approachable and experienced. I would highly recommend this trip
10/31/2023
This trip was a little girls' dream come true! From watching Discovery and History channel and marveling at the pyramids and everything the Egyptians accomplished and created to actually being there and seeing the history with my own eyes...WOW! In reality this trip is hot and dusty, so be prepared for that, there isn't anything to do but surrender to the heat (it's hot year round, even in October when we went). Accommodations were about what we would expect from a basic/comfort tour where we saved a lot of money by taking overnight trains and staying in hotels that were not four star luxury. Overall it was great and we loved learning more about the history, but be prepared it's not a luxury trip!
10/31/2023
Amazing trip, we fit so much into a short space of time. Our guides were great, especially our guide in Egypt who was absolutely incredible! Itineraries were amazing. My only comment is that the optional extras on the itineraries could be more accurate. More were available in Jordan than stated which blew our budget and made it hard to make a decision as we had to decide on arrival.
10/29/2023
I have traveled to over 70 countries. I have had a number of excellent guides. Mohammed was by far the best ever. His knowledge of Egyptian history was encyclopedic and his enthusiasm for his country was infectious. Great opportunity to see and learn. The family meals and night on the Nile are fun. Lots of road time and not a luxury trip

Our trip to Egypt with Intrepid was sensational. Daly was a fantastic guide who was extremely knowledgeable and well organised. I have never done a tour before and was reluctant to use a tour group. However I would thoroughly recommend Intrepid when visiting Egypt. We loved every minute of the trip.
10/24/2023
Only thing I want the Intrepid company to know is that prices for Egypt transportation from airport to hotel and Jordan transportation hotel to airport prepaid was 3x more than what I could arrange myself. I am, female, traveling alone and I wanted to be safe. I feel Intrepid took an advantage of the situation. Even my tour guide made comments about company was ripping me off on the transportation. You should not offer the service if you are going to charge outrageous prices. I demand the refund of both transportation which you charged 3 times more than actual price.
10/08/2023
This was our first Intrepid trip but it definitely won’t be our last! Our guide was extremely organized, thoughtful and fun! We got to see so many things from famous sites to the inside of villager’s homes as we shared a meal with them.

WOOOOW! All I can say is well. Traveling alone or creating your own itineraries is fun and all. But having knowledgeable and happy leaders through a jampacked itinerary is probably the only way you’re going to see everything Worth-wild on a trip. I think whenever you are traveling, there’s a fear of is this tour and ship worth my money, what are the accommodations like, what if I don’t have a good tour guide? After using intrepid, and using multiple tour guides throughout our tour, I can confidently say that they pick the best to run and lead these expeditions. There wasn’t anything on this where I did not like. It was worth it, and I would do it again in a heartbeat. Daly really made this trip feel like a family and made it feel like an adventure the whole way.

Our holiday to Egypt and Jordan was a bucket list trip and the anticipated experience of a lifetime was exactly what we got with Intrepid. Our guides Amhed and Thaer were outstanding. We go home sad but happy and with new friends. 10/10.
08/18/2023
I could not be happier with this tour. Full schedule but wouldn’t change a thing. There’s so much to do and experience. Summer was definitely rough, but I was still able to enjoy every moment. The felucca and Wadi Rum nights were magical. One of the best experiences of my life.
07/04/2023
Brilliant brilliant trip! Worth every cent. If you're looking at this trip- book it!! I had an absolute blast.
04/25/2023
Strongly recommend this trip if you want to see everything! It’s pretty non stop but you get to tick a lot off your bucket list in such a short amount of time. Both group leaders were excellent, super helpful and knowledgeable. However plus budget at least $80 USD for the tipping kitty as they was not mentioned to us previously it took us by surprise. Also the sleeper train conditions were pretty terrible, very uncomfortable and loud, prepare yourself for no sleep those nights. But overall a really great experience! High light is definitely the pyramids and wadi rum!
03/26/2023
This trip was so much greater than I expected. My knowledge of Egypt and Jordan has increased so much, due to our fantastic tour leaders. Dive in .... you wont regret it!
03/15/2023
Our trip was fantastic! Well organised and smoothly run by friendly, knowledgeable reps. I will be booking another trip with Intrepid in the near future!
11/03/2022
Egypt and Jordan are both amazing places and well worth going to. The ancient history is awesome and both tour leaders were so knowledgeable and helpful. I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone.
