Intrepid introduces female-only tour to Saudi Arabia
Intrepid Travel has launched a tour to Saudia Arabia solely for women travellers. Five departures of the 12-day
women’s expeditions are planned, each with a maximum of 12 travellers. The tours start on November 26, with prices from £4,795, not including flights. With female leaders and guides, the expedition will

showcase a different side of the country beyond luxury resorts and high-end offerings, according to the operator. Starting in Riyadh and finishing
in Jeddah, groups will stay in a female-owned boutique hotel, heritage property and desert camp. Zina Bencheikh, managing
director EMEA, said: “For some travellers the decision as to
whether to visit Saudi Arabia, while it transitions to a more moderate society, is not an easy one. “However, we strongly believe
travel, when done right, can be a positive force for change. It connects people, broadens perspectives, and builds empathy. It allows us to learn about lives very different to ours.”
