Morocco Deserts canyons Trips

Itinerary was great into the Alras mountains and the Saraha desert. All the main towns were amazing. The Tiur guide & driver were also amazing they made my holiday fabulous

The tour covers an area roughly the size of california in just 10 days, so you spend a lot of time in a very comfortable bus, with frequent stops for restrooms, coffee and sights along the way. Our tour director was engaging, friendly and very well-informed. He took very good care of us, responding to individual needs as required. The country is spectacular, and the tour is a movable feast that leaves you wanting to sample more of the delights surrounding you. Highly recommended!

We saw so much of Morrocco on this itineraray. I would definitely recommend anyone interested to take this tour. Loved the Saharra and authentic Berber visits. The food was good, the hotels were good. I would however like to suggest a lot more time to shop in the medina marketplaces. We were rushed through them and only allowed to shop at designated, curated places such as the carpets, ceramics and fossils. That was very disapointing.

The itinerary is comprehensive with a few unexpected experiences along the way. You see a lot in 11 days and I did all the optional extras and they were all amazing! You don’t get to see the famous blue city, but that’s ok.

Established and well thought through tour of a beautiful desert with spectacular night skys. Accurate depiction of comfort and difficultly levels, comfort level was possible a bit better than expected given the tents were always assembled and taken down by the support staff and the portable chemical toilet worked well. Everything ran on time, we weren't super fast, I was in fact the slowest of the group (my pre trek training disrupted unfortunately) however we still made good time (if you can do several back to back 20 minute miles on a treadmill and have good balance you should be fine). Several kinds of desert flowers were in bloom, Argan trees and Thyme were abundant.

Having booked somewhat last minute, we were anxious approaching our first multi day trek, mostly about our fitness (particularly for me as an energetic 57 year old weekend walker without any training regime), but also about travelling with strangers for 8 days. We need not have been. It was hugely challenging, especially with the unseasonably hot weather (34-36C), but the demanding ascents/descents and long days were achievable and gave us a huge sense of achievement at the end of each day. Campsites were amazing, from dusty village to green (but mostly dry) oasis and awe-inspiring mountain plateau. We barely saw a soul during the days and only small numbers of villagers at night. Seeing the little group of green tents already set up below us as we made our final descent of the day and knowing that the wonderful Exodus team would have a absolutely delicious dinner on, a brew and biscuits (or sometimes pancakes straight from the pan) on arrival was a fantastic reward at the end of each day’s walking. It was a real privilege to be looked after by such experienced, dedicated and kind people - and a hardworking mule. We always felt safe and our guide Mohamed ensured that the pace was regulated to push us onwards, but give decent rests. Lunch was a welcome reward each day, and quite extraordinary given the environment to have a hot dish and a beautiful spread of salads and fresh bread with mint tea. Shade was our one issue during the day, this is a dry landscape that is suffering as a result of climate change. But our team always found lunchtime shade and encouraged us to lie down and rest on carpets after we had eaten our meal! Our group were great, lots of different characters and ages, from multiple countries, travelling as couples, friends or individuals; everyone looked out for each other and the conversation was endless and enriching. We felt exceptionally lucky to have made our last minute decision - it was 100% one of our best ever trips.
