Is this trip right for you?
verified
The desert camp in Wadi Rum and the Nile felucca cruise both feature basic accommodation in incredibly memorable settings.
verified
Accommodation aboard the overnight train is in two-berth cabins which convert to bunk beds. Please see the itinerary for more details on accommodation styles and facilities.
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 of Giza, you can expect to be exposed to the elements at length, so be prepared with a hat, sunscreen and plenty of fluids.
verified
Some hotels in Egypt may not have lifts, so on occasion you may need to climb stairs with your luggage to reach your room.
verified
The temperatures in Egypt and Jordan can reach all extremes. Please familiarise yourself with the weather norms in the season you wish to travel.
verified
The Aqaba to Taba ferry travels across the Gulf of Aqaba. It is a long travel day, but is the easiest way to travel between the two destinations. Your leader in Jordan will assist you until you reach the Aqaba port and you will be greeted by your new leader once you've crossed the border in Egypt. If you do experience sea sickness, please take appropriate precautions for the journey. This journey can often be held up due to scheduling or weather conditions.

This trip is one NOT TO MISS! Jordan was incredible and exceeded my expectations! We actually wished to stay longer! While Egypt was mind blowing! If you enjoy site seeing while also enjoying exceptional views then this trip is for you! Not once did my group feel uncomfortable or unsafe as the guides were exceptional! Just prepare a good tipping kitty as Egypt has a big tipping culture… not expensive by western standards at all but it’s still something to be aware of :)

An adventure that should not be missed. If you like archeology, learning about different cultures and experiencing local traditions, this trip is for you. Having a good level of fitness is a must as well as being prepared for all types of weather. If you have the chance, book this trip.

I recently completed an incredible Intrepid trip through Jordan, and it exceeded all expectations. Floating in the Dead Sea was a surreal experience, and visiting Petra was simply breathtaking—the walk through the Siq, followed by the first glimpse of the Treasury, was unforgettable. Wadi Rum was another highlight; sleeping under the stars in the desert and exploring the dramatic landscapes made it feel like another world.
One thing I really appreciated was the onboard Wi-Fi on the bus. It allowed me to stay connected with family and update social media without using my own data, so I could focus fully on the day’s adventures. It also made the longer drives enjoyable, whether catching up on messages or sharing trip highlights in real time.
Overall, this trip was well-organized, full of adventure, and an amazing way to experience Jordan. Highly recommend!

Just completed Jordan/Egypt trip. I found Jordan a great experience, especially Petra. We then flew to Cairo and travelled the length of Egypt, amazing. Put this one on your list!

This was a pretty good trip. It's basic level so don't expect champaign quality on a beer price. There were a couple of things that were not intrepids fault such as the ferry from Akaba to Neuweba being canceled. But it was a pretty good tour overall.

A once in a lifetime experience! We covered a lot of ground in both Jordan & Egypt and saw so many amazing sights! I included a lot of the optional activities which were organised by my guides with no hassle. I did the Basix tour and the accommodation element added to the fun of the tour - the hotels were always clean and so full of character. I never had an issue with any transport and I felt safe at all times. The guides were hugely knowledgeable and particularly Yasser, in Egypt, was outstanding in looking after us. His passion, knowledge and professionalism made this trip such a memorable experience. As long as you are prepared to get amongst it and go with the flow, remembering that you are in a different country where things might not always go as you would expect them to at home, this is an amazing experience that I would highly recommend.

Very unique experience. If you don’t mind a fair bit of culture shock, you’ll enjoy everything this trip has to offer. Only downside was we went during Ramadan, which was limiting for food and nightlife.
