Its presence has inspired countless tales — why not add a few of your own on an Intrepid small group adventure?

The Pyramids are just the tip of the wonders Egypt has to offer. Encounter the endless golden sands and atmospheric local souks that have spellbound countless travellers. Don’t miss the chance to cruise along the Nile and wander through the impressive sights at Luxor, exploring the Karnak Temple complex with an expert guide.

A visit to Ta Prohm is essential, with the sight of the temple being slowly swallowed by the jungle only adding to the enchantment. Angkor Wat itself is believed to represent the cosmic world, with its architecture set in perfect balance and symmetry.
