What a trip! So much packed and you won’t feel like you’re missing anything. Things I wish I had packed that I didn’t: more electrolytes, a personal mosquito net for the felucca, and some more tools for staying cool. It’s an adventure for sure but so many things checked off the bucket list!

Our Intrepid trip to Egypt was amazing!
The Pyramids, Valley of the Kings and Karnak Temple were stunning. It was so nice to have a leader who gave us in-depth information on these and all the sites in Egypt. The Felucca ride on the Nile was a highlight of the trip. Such a relaxing and fun way to see the Nile. I loved the dinners with local families. These personal cultural experiences are what makes Intrepid trips so special! We were lucky to have an amazing leader - Hady, He was the BEST! He loves his Country and his people and gave us a personal insight into Egyptian Culture. Hady was funny, kind and took care of every detail of our trip. He always made sure every person in our group was having a good time. I highly recommend this trip!

The Egypt-Jordan trip was incredible. It was my first tour group holiday and I was a bit nervous I wouldn't enjoy the group experience. But had a great time, with great people and guides. What we got to see and do was perfect!

Jordan was the highlight of the entire trip. Beautiful country. Very safe, clean and friendly. Local vendors in Jordan left you if you said no or walked away. Egypt was very dirty at every location we visited, police everywhere which had the opposite effect and did not make me feel safe. Local vendors in Egypt harassed you. At times this was very scary since there were always large groups trying to sell you stuff all at the same time. They would not take no and continue to follow you. At times they would step in front of you or put things on you which is very scary when a stranger is that close to you. As a female traveler I felt unwanted there. They want me to spend my money in their country but I felt like I should not be seen or heard.
