Transport in Egypt

Intrepid believes half the fun of experiencing a new country is getting there, and getting around once there! Where possible, Intrepid uses local transport options and traditional modes of transport - which usually carry less of an environmental impact, support small local operators and are heaps more fun. Depending on which trip you're on while in Egypt, you may find yourself travelling by:

Camel

A mode of transport that's been used for centuries,
riding a camel is a definite must when visiting Egypt.
Swaying through the desert sands on a 'ship of the desert'
is an unforgettable Egyptian vacation experience.
