Intrepid Travel has launched a new programme of women-only expeditions in Morocco, Iran and Jordan, available to book from today in honour of International Women’s Day.

Women working in tourism are more likely to lose their jobs or have had their hours reduced, according to the UNWTO

The operator said the new tours were designed to encourage female empowerment and showcase the traditions and routines of local women in each destination.

The itineraries will be guided female tour leaders and will offer “a deeper understanding of female culture in each Middle Eastern nation”, Intrepid said.

It added that the trips would “expose female travellers to a range of fascinating local women – young, old, religious, conservative, rural, modern and liberal – while respecting traditional cultural values”.
