Very good

Advice for Potential Travellers

Don’t over estimate their ability .

The many wonders of Morocco

From the beautiful Casablanca mosque, to the awe inspiring Sahara, the timeless Berber villages and the bustle of Fez’s Medina, this trip gives you a full experience of Morocco.

Most Inspirational Moment

Berber village in the hills. A unique privilege to see how the Berber population live and experience the quiet solitude of their life. The stars were just amazing up there!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Khaled was a delight. Patient, organised and knowledgeable. Always ready to have a laugh. Nothing rattled him, and he did have some challenges on our tour. We were always safe and well cared for.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Read the trip notes! This is not an easy tour. There is a lot of walking, quite a bit of which is on uneven ground, but if you like a weekend hike you'll love this tour. Embrace the experience, and fully explore this wonderful Northern African country.

Morocco - Exceeded Expectations

This trip had everything – great guides, great food, wide mixture of activities, and eye-opening perspectives on Morocco’s history and culture that exceeded my expectations.

Most Inspirational Moment

Sahara and Atlas Mountains - especially the camel ride in the Sahara.

Thoughts on Group Leader

This was my second Exodus trip (the first was the Baltics) and both group leaders have been fantastic. The Morocco trip was more challenging than the Baltics, for the group leader, due to the diversity and remoteness of much of the country to which we traveled - from the cities to the remote mountains and desert. Our group leader for Morocco, Kahled, made sure we were always well-informed and supported. He seemed to be on top of everything making us feel secure and always available for questions. His selection of local guides was superb. I give Kahled a 5+ out of 5 - and I'm an academic.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Go to Morocco...you won't be disappointed.

A Trip of a Lifetime

More spectacular than I imagined

Most Inspirational Moment

Getting to stay in the village of Tighza

Thoughts on Group Leader

Khaled was extremely knowledgeable, patient and kind. He was an excellent leader

Advice for Potential Travellers

If you are travelling mid season, pack layers. It was colder than we expected.

Highlights of Morocco

We just returned from a 15 day trip across Morocco.
It was a fabulous trip with a great group of fellow travellers. Our guide Khaled was a fantastic, enthusiastic ambassador for his country.
We quickly became a great group of friends who thoroughly enjoyed all the sights and sounds of Morocco.

Most Inspirational Moment

The camel trek into The Sahara was awe inspiring. We had a sand dune view of the setting sun.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Khaled was our guide. He was friendly and enthusiastic about sharing his country. He kept us informed daily of upcoming meeting points etc. and was highly organized. He listened to our desire for quick lunches and took us to amazing, affordable restaurants for dinner. He was fantastic for showing us the every day men/women of his country. He was also up for a laugh and joking around. He had to deal daily with 2 of our fellow travellers who were ill informed and ill prepared for this trip. He was very patient with their very challenging behavior.

Advice for Potential Travellers

There’s a lot of down time on the bus for long hours of travelling between cities. There’s also a lot of walking on uneven ground. Wear comfortable shoes. The 5 km uphill trek to our hotel in the High Atlas MTS was a surprise. Mules were available for our gear and anyone needing some assistance up the hill. It was quite arduous. We were there in early March and wore our winter coats most of the time. Our hotels were clean and ok. It was cold at night but all the hotels supplied lots of blankets. We all had a hot shower every morning. Other reviews spoke of inadequate hot water but we never experienced that.

A fabulous adventure

What an amazing adventure this turned out to be. This 14 day trip covered 1300 miles through different landscapes, stopping off along the way and learning about this diverse country. Fez Medina was like stepping back in time with the narrow streets in the souk lined with stalls and donkeys transporting their wares around them. The tanneries were another glimpse into a bygone age. The Roman town of Volubilis was a revelation and the guide was superb. The Sahara experience is one I’ll never forget. Moving on we stayed at Kasbah Oliver in the High Atlas Mountains and had a glimpse into how remote some villages are. We had a really pleasant hike from Kasbah Oliver along a path used by locals starting in the cool of the morning and an unforgettable experience in the local small hammam. Our holiday happened to coincide with a large music festival in Essaouira which added to our experience, although sadly we were unable to stay in the Medina.

Most Inspirational Moment

If I had to pick one inspirational moment it would have to be sitting on the top of a sand dune in silence watching the sun rise over the Sahara. Truly unforgettable.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our group leader was Youssef and Mohammad our driver. Everything Youssef organised was with the group in mind and extremely punctual. On long trips lunch time food was preordered to save time in restaurants. The suggested places to eat at night were always very good. A few occasions we were told it was possible to purchase alcohol and that the venue we were staying would happily refrigerate beers/soft drinks or wine for us. Youssef would always help find an ATM or money exchange if requested. Overall he was a very thoughtful helpful member of the group.

Advice for Potential Travellers

There are some pieces of advise I wish I had had: 1. Some of my fellow travellers changed money at the airport and were talked into putting some money onto a card to draw out at ATM’s ….what they didn’t realise until too late was the £30 charge for doing so. As ATM’s are plentiful and also money exchanges there is no need to change money at the airport if you have a prepaid transfer booked. If you are staying at the Hotel Gossassine there is an ATM 200yds from the hotel and a money exchange a further 50yds on. (There is also a Carrefour supermarket located in the basement :100yds from the hotel in a shopping Mall) 2. I wasn’t sure what clothing to take, especially as Morocco is a Muslim country: I erred on the conservative side taking mostly long sleeved tops and longer knee length shorts. You actually only need to cover up when visiting The Hassan 11 Mosque. When in the seaside town of Essaouira there is a beach with people wearing swimming costumes…it had a much more relaxed feel. If I went again I would take more of a mixture of sleeveless/sleeved tops and trousers/shorts for June travel. 3. We stopped at potteries/argon oil/herbalists etc which were very interesting but were on the expensive side, however it was hard to tell if we would see the items for sale elsewhere…. I can tell you with experience that you will. There are good shopping opportunities in the seaside place of Essaouira and back in Marrakech on the final days. I just wish I had known that!

The High Atlas-stunning scenery

A fast moving adventure, stunning snow capped mountains, un paralleled views and scenery. A camel trek, the Sahara at sunset and sunrise with an overnight in the desert. Tours and histories of the major cities . Be prepared for low overnight temps and hotels with out heating and only Luke warm shower temperatures, and a small bus. Overall an excellent trip. A lovely country with friendly and hospitable people.

Highlights of Morocco

A great way to see a lot of Morocco and the variety of the ever-changing landscapes. Great group, great guide. Although we didn’t get the hot weather one would normally expect, we didn’t get rained on, but we did have snow!

Most Inspirational Moment

Visiting the roman ruins at Volubilis and watching the sunset and sunrise in the Sahara Desert. The hammam was an experience you should not miss. The architecture in the palaces is breathtaking. The scenery even more so. The trek in the High Atlas was fun.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Essaid was one of the best guides I have experienced. He was great fun, full of knowledge, loved his country and became part of the group.

Advice for Potential Travellers

If going in the winter months take more warm clothes than suggested. Had we known how cold it was going to be in the mornings, evenings and night we would have taken more than a fleece, hat and gloves. Not all the hotels have hairdryers or sink plugs. If your trip is fully booked, be prepared for a cramped minibus.

Excellent itinerary packed with history

The itinerary for this was well designed and provided a comprehensive experience of Morocco, its various regions and people. I learned a lot. Our guide was great and we also had local guides when visiting different regions which provided for more in depth history lessons. The people of Morocco were kind and welcoming. I would highly recommend this trip.

Most Inspirational Moment

Loved visiting the Berber villages and staying in remote areas and learning more about the Berbers and Nomads.

Thoughts on Group Leader

I can tell that our leader loves his job. He was always prepared, provided us with all the information we needed to be safe and enjoy ourselves and multi tasked often to ensure our needs were met. He was kind, warm and very knowledgeable.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Set your expectations correctly. You may not always get to take long showers (extended drought) or have diverse options for food. But you won’t go hungry.

Excellent Adventure

Like most Exodus trips this is fast paced and is an adventure rather than a holiday. We covered a lot of miles but it was worth it for the diversity of experiences and the chance to see so much of the wonderful country of Morocco.

Most Inspirational Moment

Being in the village in the high atlas was amazing. Walking in, staying in the beautiful Kasbah Oliver, waking to the sound of the call to prayer echoing down the valley, trekking up the valley with the sound of running water and local people with their mules passing us and going about their daily lives, and of course the hammam experience were all unforgettable.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Alli was fabulous. Nothing was too much trouble for him and he was always available and checking that everyone was fine. He told us so much about Moroccan history and culture and he was such fun too. A wonderful ambassador for his country.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Be prepared for short turn arounds and early starts (though not every day). Particularly after the overnight in the desert camp.
