What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?
Walking from the gite into the Atlas mountains was my favourite part of the trip - getting away from it all - this was made even more special by arriving into the hustle and bustle of Marrakech on a Friday night - amazing contrast.
The main square in Marrakech and the markets came a close second - I've fallen in love with Morocco and can't wait to go back.
What did you think of your group leader?
Hassan helped to make the trip what it was, at no point did I feel rushed or hurried. He was knowledgeable and friendly, always being there for us and had a lot of fun with us. I have to give Hassan 10/10 for the week.
Do you have any advice for potential travellers?
If you go in November / December be prepared for the evenings being very cold.
Always carry some toilet roll with you - you never know when you might need it.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
Had an amazing time on this trip - cant wait to go back to Marrakech and quite fancy the Panorama Atlas tour next.

Sitting under the stars in the Sahara desert looking at the milky way
What did you think of your group leader?
Very good - he gave sound advice & gave the appropriate amount of information. He was available without encroaching on the groups space

Read the material that Exodus sends prior to your holiday- it is spot on.

MARRAKECH & THE SAHARA

Written October 2011
It was all together enjoyable trip. I have met very interesting and nice people and it was fun to share my experiences with them. I have also realised how easily one off person can spoil such a trip for the whole group. Solo departures are a tricky business after all. I felt safe and taken care of. On the other hand I had enough time for my personal explorations or thoughts – a perfect mix.

What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?
Highlights were the Draa valley and the Atlas mountains but for me personally the most inspiring moment was the end of the road in Mhamid. I wish we could spend more time in the area and explore it a little more.
What did you think of your group leader?
Yaya (or whatever it spells) was doing a great job. Nothing to complain about.
Do you have any advice for potential travellers?
Nothing more than is written in Trip notes.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
Since there is separate camel treck maybe it would be possible to skip camel trip on this one. I really felt pity looking at this poor animals and having ride on them have not improved my feelings.

Written September 2011
A holiday so much enjoyed, with excellent scenery and lingering tastes of culture and history, together with as good a set of companions as you could find and led by a wonderful guide with such comprehensive knowledge.

What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?
Early on we left the mini bus and took to camels - the short journey took us to a different world, seemingly leaving behind technology and hastle, passing small villages with mud houses. Entering the Sahara, with the dunes and palm trees was one of the most special moments in my life - I can't really explain why but it was just so beautiful!
What did you think of your group leader?
A very friendly man with a good sense of humour. His knowledge of the trip, the history, culture and religion of the country were excellent.
Do you have any advice for potential travellers?
The trip was so well organised that there was nothing to do except just enjoy. So the best advice is not to worry.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
A practical note: A good sun hat is very desirable, with a light scarf for protecting the back of the neck too.

Morocco is a wonderful country where in May you can experinece life amongst the dunes in the Sahara desert and snow in the High Atlas. As an added bonus the night sky is awe inspiring, we never realised the Milky Way could be so dramatic.

What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?
After calling in on a lesson in the village primary school and being persuaded to join a hastily formed girl football team, the joy in the face of the girls when they scored the first goal against the boys' team.
What did you think of your group leader?
His command of a range of languages was amazing and his flexible approach to the itinerary made the trip even more enjoyable.
Do you have any advice for potential travellers?
Make sure you take a long scarf that can cover your head, neck and most of your face for your trip in to the Sahara.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
The other people on the trip, in our case 2, helped to make this one of our most memorable holidays.

One of the best weeks of my life! I learnt so much about the life, culture, geography and history of Morocco, as well as how to sit on a camel and not get too sore! The people were fabulous and only a week after arriving back a few of us have met up and re-lived our experiences.

Sleeping under the stars...
What did you think of your group leader?
Our leader was suberb- he knew when to give us a break or encourage us when we were tired. We learnt all about Berber life and he didn't tire of us asking questions all the time!
He said that he hoped our visit to Morocco would 'change us in some way'. It certainly has.
Do you have any advice for potential travellers?
Go!

We had a fantastic group which made the trip an injoyment. The bedouin camp was lacking along with the camel ride but the overall tour was definently a great tour for anybody looking for a week in morocco.
