Intrepid Travel is boosting its fledgling programme in Saudi Arabia with two new tours.
Open to men and women, the seven-night and nine-night itineraries will operate from April next year, and follow on from Intrepid’s inaugural 12-day Women’s Expedition, which began in 2024.
The seven-day Saudi Arabia Expedition takes in the lesser-known Asir region in the country’s southwest, and features a hike through Tanomah’s mountains, a visit to the museum of Fatima Faye Al-Almaai, a local Asiri meal and a visit to one of region’s oldest traditional markets. Prices for the tour start at £2,561pp.
Meanwhile, the nine-day Saudi Arabia Highlights tour journeys from capital to coast, and includes a traditional meal at a women’s project in Al-Ghat, camping under the stars on a local farm in AlUla, exploring the Holy City of Madinah with a local female guide and enjoying a home-cooked lunch with a grandmother in Riyadh. This leads in at £3,468pp.
“Intrepid fundamentally believes that travel can be a force for good and we recognise that there is a broader appetite among travellers to explore Saudi Arabia in ways that contribute positively to local communities, particularly women,” said Erica Kritikides, Intrepid Travel’s General Manager of Global Experiences.
“We’re excited to continue evolving our offerings to all our travellers, while supporting women-owned businesses, creating employment pathways for women and showcasing lesser-known destinations.
