Intrepid launching women-only tours in the Middle East

Intrepid Travel has developed a new line of women-only expeditions in Morocco, Iran and Jordan, encouraging female empowerment and showcasing the traditions and routines of local women in each destination.

The limited-edition tours will be available to book beginning tomorrow (March 8), recognized globally as International Women’s Day.

The itineraries, each guided by female tour leaders, will offer a deeper understanding of female culture in each Middle Eastern nation. The trips will expose female travelers to a range of fascinating local women – young, old, religious, conservative, rural, modern and liberal – while respecting traditional cultural values.

“With all the hallmarks of a classic Intrepid Travel adventure – local leadership, local transport, real life experiences – and an added focus on female travel and female empowerment, this new line of Women’s Expeditions offers a unique opportunity for female travelers from around the world to connect with each other and learn more about Middle Eastern women and their day-to-day lives,” said Jenny Gray, regional product manager for the Middle East and Africa.
