About this trip
Twelve days across two of North Africa's classic destinations, taking in Egypt's ancient sites and Morocco's most visited cities. It's a fully guided group tour built around sightseeing and history, with a Christmas and New Year departure for those who want to spend the holidays somewhere different.
You'll cover Cairo, Aswan and Luxor in Egypt, then move on to Casablanca and Marrakech in Morocco. It's a broad introduction to both countries rather than a deep dive into either, suited to families and first-timers who want the highlights covered with the logistics handled.
What you'll do
- Explore Cairo's historic sights
- Visit Aswan on the Nile
- Discover ancient Luxor
- See Casablanca
- Wander the streets of Marrakech
- Covers two countries in 12 days, so expect a flight between Egypt and Morocco partway through
- Fully guided throughout, which suits families and first-time visitors
- Fast-paced given the ground covered across five cities
Worth it if you're fit enough for long days and early starts. Think twice if you need downtime or can't handle heat and walking.
- Guides across Egypt and Morocco were genuinely knowledgeable, professional, and made the experience memorable.
- Packed itinerary means successive early starts, long days, and 35°C+ temple walks with minimal downtime or breaks.
- Twelve days feels rushed for both countries; reviewers wished they'd stayed 16-20 days, especially in Morocco.
- Accommodation and Nile cruise quality was high; consider requesting morning tea breaks and optional desert dinners in advance.
