  • J

    Jessica

    Asked on July 17th, 2026

    Apart from the age range (I am 65) what is the difference between Essential Egypt and Egypt Adventure? Is there are reason why the price drop on 22/8 is higher than other weeks

    Age Range
    Price / Availability
    Tour Details
    • Intrepid TravelOperator•Written July 2026

      The main difference between the two trips is that Essential Egypt is designed specifically for travellers aged 18 to 35, whereas Egypt Adventure is open to travellers aged 15 and above, so you would be eligible for this trip.

      There are also some itinerary differences. Essential Egypt is a 9-day Basic-style trip with activities such as kayaking on the Nile and is aimed at a younger group. Egypt Adventure is an 8-day Original-style trip that includes experiences such as a Nubian village dinner, a visit to the Grand Egyptian Museum, Karnak Temple, and a home-cooked meal with a local family. While both trips visit Egypt's major highlights, the pace, inclusions, accommodation style, and overall travel experience are slightly different.

      Regarding the departure on 22 August, the lower price is due to our last-minute discount currently being offered on that specific departure. Last-minute discounts can vary by departure based on availability and demand, which is why this departure has a larger price reduction than some of the other dates.

    Anthony

    Asked on December 12th, 2025

    I was not informed when I book the tour that 3 people are not allowed in my accomodation. Please refund my deposit.

    Accommodation
    • Intrepid TravelOperator•Written December 2025

      Our usual accommodation type is on twin share basis, and third traveler will have to share with another traveler on their trip departure. If they prefer to have their own room, a single supplement can be booked at an additional cost. The single supplement excludes Day 5 (Felucca) where you will be in shared accommodation and is subject to availability. We are unable to guarantee triple room available at all the hotels.

    Asked on November 27th, 2024

    I'm interested in booking an Egypt tour. However I'll be traveling with my 76 years old mother who has limited mobility. She cannot walk long distances without resting. We would like to visit Egypt for 6-8 days. Would these tours be suitable? Are there any arrangements that can be made to allow her to enjoy the tour more easily?
