Venture from Marrakech to the heart of Morocco’s desert on this 6-day private tour, crafted for curious explorers. Traverse the dramatic Dades Gorge and the endless dunes of Merzouga, where oases and ancient kasbahs tell stories of nomadic tribes. This relaxed itinerary provides plenty of time to absorb the natural beauty and ancestral traditions of southern Morocco, with comfortable accommodations and guided support throughout. The tour’s unique edge is its in-depth desert experience, offering rare insights into the region’s untouched landscapes and timeless way of life.
Our tour guides were excellent. Both Yelda and Ana provided us with excellent information, were very helpful and always ready to answer any questions we had.
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.
Muhammad wonderfully knowledgeable, humorous and personable lead guide. Local guides also good. Coach driver exemplary.
Hotel: Al Jasira Hotel particularly good.

I booked this trip because it visited three cities I have wanted to visit for some time - Chefchaouen, Fes and Marrakech. They did not disappoint. Mohammed, the guide who was with us for the whole trip could not do enough for us and ensured we were safe. There was also a local guide for each city and they were top notch as well.
I found the accommodation very comfortable - mainly in Riads but one night was spent in a lovingly restored Kasbah.
I thoroughly recommend this trip.

Just returned from an amazing 11-day trip through Greece, Turkey, and Egypt! Cruising the Saronic Gulf, exploring the Pyramids and Egyptian Museum, and experiencing the magic of Istanbul's Bosphorus were definite highlights. The hotels were great, the itinerary flowed well, and the service was top-notch. Highly recommended for an unforgettable adventure.

We chose the Felucca adventure and had a great time! Our tour leader George Basher was knowledgeable, kind and most accommodating! What started out as 11 strangers and ended as a Yalla family of 11!! We learned so much from this trip about Egypt, it's history and culture! Highly recommended! Thanks George!!
This was great tour and our guide Ibrahim went the extra mile and made it very special. His overall knowledge is amazing. The drivers also were very good. I loved the variety of places we visited and the Riads were beautiful. I can’t wait to go back to this fabulous country. Sue April 2025

Excellent trip. Mohamed our leader was the best!!
Full on itinerary but perhaps make the days more balanced. Some days were early starts and late finishes with the next day less full.
Also remember we are not all expert Egyptologists!!
