Is this trip right for you?
verified
Cairo is notorious for road congestion and air pollution. Be prepared for one of the busiest cities in North Africa.
verified
The walkways around ruins can be uneven, dusty and rocky, so be sure to bring sturdy, comfortable walking shoes. At major sites such as the Pyramids, you can expect to be exposed to the elements at length, so be prepared with a hat, sunscreen and plenty of fluids.
verified
The Middle East can get hot between June and September, but this is normally a dry heat and easier to cope with than humidity. Where possible we try and visit sites in the early morning before it gets too hot.
verified
Accommodation aboard the overnight train is in two-berth cabins, which are comfortable and air-conditioned. All bedding is provided, and western-style toilets are located in each carriage. General train cleanliness may not be to the same standards you are accustomed to. An included dinner and breakfast are served on board. You may want to purchase something extra beforehand to supplement your meal, particularly if you have any dietary requirements.
verified
The Nile Cruise includes three nights’ accommodation and full board (drinks are not included). Your ship will be docked each night in Aswan, Edfu or Luxor – please see the Itinerary for more details. When docked, Nile cruise ships are moored lengthways alongside each other, and your ship will most likely have a ship on either side. You walk through the other ships to reach the port.
verified
In Wadi Rum we stay in a permanent tented camp with shared bathroom facilities. While the desert may be very hot during the day, it will still be cold at night and warm clothes are highly recommended when travelling outside of the summer months.
verified
Ramadan is an annual month-long festival, during which travel can be a rewarding cultural experience, however some regular services may not be available during the day, such as restaurants or cafes, and occasionally travel can be disrupted by events. Your leader will adjust the itinerary accordingly, but please consider this when selecting your travel dates. You'll find dates and further information in the 'Climate and seasonal information' section of the Essential Trip Information.

An unforgettable Egyptian adventure! Intrepid’s trip was perfectly planned, but our incredible guide truly made it special—knowledgeable, fun, and passionate. Lifelong friendships blossomed as we explored ancient wonders together. From the pyramids to the Nile, every moment amazed us. A journey filled with culture, laughter, and lasting memories

Just got back from the most unforgettable adventure with Intrepid through Egypt and Jordan. The sights were beyond anything I imagined—sailing the Nile, sleeping under the stars in Wadi Rum. But what truly made the trip special was our incredible tour leader who brought every place to life, and the amazing group of friends I made along the way. We laughed, we learned, and we shared something really special. I’ll treasure this journey forever.”

'10 out of 10', Intrepid.
It was such a privilege to return to Egypt and Jordan after a 40 year hiatus. Your Explore Egypt and Jordan was excellent, and so too your staff and all elements of the trip. Thank you@
