Is this trip right for you?
verified
Travelling on a felucca (traditional wooden boat) is awesome, but it's not for everyone. You will be sharing a sleeping area with your fellow group members for the night and a shared bathroom facility. You'll sleep outside under the stars on a simple mattress, with some bedding provided. If you do feel the cold, you should consider bringing a sleeping bag.
verified
The walkways around many Egyptian ruins can be uneven, dusty and rocky, so be sure to bring comfortable walking shoes. At large sites such as Valley of the Kings, you can also expect to be walking in the elements for most of the day, so adequate sun protection is essential.
verified
Some hotels in Egypt may not have lifts. You may need to climb stairs with your luggage to reach your hotel room for the night.
verified
Temperatures in the Egypt can be extreme, ranging from very hot to very cold, depending on the season – it can even snow in some places! Layers will come in handy for sun protection as well as warmth.
verified
Overnight train journeys are a fast way to cross long distances, better for the environment and a great travel experience. You will share two-berth air-conditioned cabins, with all bedding provided and western style toilets on board.

My trip to Egypt was amazing! We were a group of 5, which can be considered small but we were able to get to know each other and have proper discussions of the trip along the way. It also helps to have an amazing guide like Ahmed Fawzy.

This trip exceeded every one of my expectations - largely thanks to our group leader Sam. His depth of knowledge, kindness, passion, and great sense of humor created an atmosphere where everyone felt safe, supported, and completely at ease.
The trip itself was very well organized, covering all the iconic highlights while also offering authentic local experiences. I’m heading home not only with incredible memories, but with a much deeper appreciation and understanding of this amazing country. If you’re lucky enough to get Sam as a guide you’re in for an unforgettable experience!

The Intrepid tour and in particular Sam our guide, was amazing. It was such an impressive holiday and the sights were something from a story book. I would 100% book again. I loved everything about it from the overnight train to the Felucca down the Nile. Thank you to Sam who provided an amazing adventure to myself and my husband.
