Women’s Expedition in Saudi Arabia With Intrepid

01 Sep 2025

This Middle Eastern kingdom has never been more accessible… if you’re a woman.

That’s partly because of small group tour operator Intrepid’s newly launched all-female expedition in Saudi Arabia. Over 12 days, you’ll discover dramatic landscapes, learn about the country’s rich history and tickle your tastebuds with tasty cuisine that’ll have you going back for seconds (and then thirds).

You’ll stop at UNESCO World Heritage sites, try your hand at cooking traditional food, participate in a pottery workshop, snorkel the Red Sea, lounge on a private women-only beach at sunset, and more importantly, get to know the local women who’ll share their stories about what life is really like for them in Saudi Arabia.

As if that wasn’t enough, you’ll stay in a collection of heritage hotels and desert lodges and enjoy several free meals (included in the tour price), all the while supporting women entrepreneurs. Who run the world?
