Loved our Premium Egypt and Jordan in Depth trip! This was a combination trip with different group leader in Egypt and Jordan. Both were excellent as were the itineraries and accommodations. We felt completely safe in all aspects of this trip and would highly recommend it to anyone interested in the history and ancient wonders of these two wonderful countries.

We did this tour in May 2024 - we were worried about our safety but decided to go ahead.
The trip was amazing & cannot recommend it enough. At no time did we feel unsafe & are so pleased we went ahead.
Just go & experience these two amazing countries- so much to see & learn.
Thank you Intrepid for such a fantastic experience- it will be with us for the rest of our lives.
Just go.

If you are lucky enough to get Hany as your leader in Egypt, you won't be disappointed. He is more than a leader, he is a good friend who ensures you experience the best trip possible. No issue was too hard for him...he would try his best to fix it. He so obviously enjoyed his work as a tour leader and very passionate about his country and history. Thank you Hany for giving us the best experience in your amazing country.

Excellent company, this was an amazing trip one of the best trips I’ve ever had, the team leaders were amazing and the itinerary was excellent, the accommodations and transport were very nice and comfortable. In terms of safety I felt very safe not once was safety a concern.
