This is my third time trekking in high altitude with G adventures and with each new experience I’m flooded with wonderful memories of past experiences and guides. This trek with Nabil will be another unforgettable experience that I will never stop talking about. Thanks again Nabil!

7 days was well worth the extra time to the long weekend. Amazing local guides, varied scenery and excellent food for a camping trip. the 7 days gave time acclimatise to the heat, to practice getting up at 0600 and to get used to camping. Plus the tour of Marrakesh on the last day was a nice end to the trip.

The 11-Day Tour Morocco was fantastic. It exceeded our expectations, and we wished we could have spent more time at the majority of the locations. Karim, our tour guide, was wonderful. He handled every part of our tour so we didn't have to worry about anything. You'll be on the go all the time, so prepare. I wholeheartedly suggest this tour.
We had the most amazing 10 days on our Egypt Tour and Nike cruise. What made it so special was our guide Mohammed who imparts so much knowledge of ancient Egypt and Egypt today. The food and accommodation were of a high standard and all the trips especially the Hot Air Balloon trip has left us with such wonderful memories .
Thank you Mohammed and Explore

I just loved this trip. We saw so much and learned and laughed so much as we went. Too many highlights to list, and so varied too, but for me personally my favourite part was the camel ride across the sand dunes: just unbelievably beautiful.
Ridouan was an excellent tour leader: he somehow just about kept our group under control (!) and in the right place at the right time, and usually with a twinkle in his eye. He was so generous in sharing his knowledge of and pride for Morocco. We had a great group of people too: the trip was full (16) which I thought might feel overwhelming but actually worked really well.
Yes, there is a lot of driving, but that was reasonably restful too - all I needed to do was sit in a coach and watching the beautiful scenery change all around us, and occasionally have a nap. It wasn't a hardship! And it's true that the accommodation is certainly a bit basic for some stops, but each place had character, and this is travelling rather than a luxury retreat.
It's a really full-on week but I'd recommend it completely. What a fascinating, warm, colourful and welcoming country.

The “second day” the flight is SUPER early and you have to leave the hotel at 4 am.
That was not communicated anywhere and we didn’t arrive at the hotel u til after 11 pm the night before. It made the morning very difficult!
Also, it would be helpful if there was a place by the day noting if women needed to cover shoulders/knees or men knees. When I was packing and googling, it said that at Kom Ombo (and most of the temples) it was recommended to have shoulder and knees covered, but when we got there I was told we didn’t need it. I had a lot more pants packed then I needed and that would have been helpful to know when I actually needed to wear more conservative clothing or having my hair covered.
Overall the itinerary was good. We saw a lot and had a great guide!
We were on the Steinberger cruise ship - I would not recommend that one again. Very limited. We were on Thai ship with another group from Trafalgar that paid less for the tour and we had no extras. We allowed one drink at dinner and one bottle of water.. anything more we had to pay for. They didn’t have coffee/tea available throughout the day for free. It seemed like they were nickel and diming the guests. I have been on other River cruises and unlimited water, beverages at dinner, and feee coffee/tea throughout the day in the lounge was accessible.
