Is this trip right for you?
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.
verified
This trip takes in many religious sites, so it’s best to come prepared. You will need to bring clothes that cover arms and legs – a light scarf is a good idea for hot days.

The Egypt Premium trip surpassed my expectations. Ahmed our group leader was excellent. His knowledge and organization made the trip so enjoyable. The other trip participants made the trip even better. Made life long friends. I am definitely using Intrepid again. My first trip was outstanding and I am an avid traveler.

We have just experienced the most fantastic two weeks in Egypt and Jordon with Intrepid. Our leaders Rania and Zaher were exceptional and our groups in both countries were fantastic company. The great times spent exploring, eating, socializing were experiences of a life time and we have come home with a new appreciation of the amazing Middle East.

I have now used Intrepid for trips to Sri Lanka and Egypt/Jordan. They have both been exceptionally good in every respect : itineraries, transport, accommodation, organisation, efficiency and guides.

Although well gravelled, this is the first tour I have done. This premium tour is the perfect way to see Egypt, especially as a solo traveller. A well balanced itinerary giving you history and opportunities to immerse yourself in the culture, food and people.

Fabulous trip that I highly recommend! I was a little concerned travelling to Egypt and Jordan as a single female but it was all absolutely perfect. I was greeted at the airport by an intrepid representative before I even picked up my bags and I felt completely safe for the rest of the trip. The standard of accommodation is excellent and the sights are simply amazing. It truly was a fabulous trip. Going in May was a great time of year, as it is just outside of peak season so crowds aren’t as bad and the heat is manageable. I like intrepid for the small group size as well.
