Here, a guided tour will lead you through the heart of the bustling medina, where you'll witness traditional craftsmanship and have the option to indulge in a delicious Moroccan feast accompanied by traditional music and dance.
Next, you'll discover the picturesque "Blue Pearl" of Chefchaouen, a town nestled in the Rif Mountains and known for its captivating blue and white architecture. Your journey south takes you to Rabat, Morocco's official capital, where you'll explore iconic landmarks like the Hassan Tower and the Mausoleum.

We had a fantastic trip to Egypt. I am a single mum with a 10 and 12 year old. We were in a very small group with just one other family and we had a brilliant time. Mohammed, the group leader was amazing. He was so knowledgeable and fun and made everything run smoothly, even the bits that didn’t (don’t expect the train to be on time, however flashy the new station). He was fantastic with the kids and generous with his experience of all aspects of Egyptian life.
The trip is pretty full on but there is downtime built in. We love Egypt and will definitely go back. We’ll also definitely do another holiday with explore. For me, being on my own with the kids, the group meant I got some downtime and everything being so well organised meant I felt like I got a holiday as well! As an added bonus it was no more expensive to have two rooms at the hotels!
Would totally recommend.
