Amazing Cultural Experience

An lovely tour that really took you through the heart of Morocco. From the local markets, the mountains and the Sahara desert. Those were just a few of many great ventures we took seeing so much of the country!

Most Inspirational Moment

Definitely riding on Camels through the Sahara Desert and climbing up a mini hill to witness the sunset, along with venturing into the Atlas Mountains

Thoughts on Group Leader

Hamid was an amazing group leader and very efficient! All his instructions were clear and there wasn't a single question that he didn't know the answer to!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Ensure that you stay hydrated on this tour (especially from Jul-Sep) as the temperature can easily hit 40 degrees

Pretty comprehensive tour of what Morocco has to offer

Excellent itinerary to see the best of Morocco in 2 weeks. Inevitably that means some longer days in the bus but always many stops at points of interest to keep your enthusiasm alive.
From walking in the High Atlas Mountains to a camel ride on the edge of the Sahara to bustling Marrakesh and Fez and surprisingly clean and lush Rabat, this trip has it all.
The ‘in comfort’ part of the tour title needs clarification- all have comfy beds with clean sheets but some accommodations struggle to provide hot water or even a decent shower curtain. Having said that, hotel/riad staff were all very pleasant and helpful as are the Moroccan people generally

Most Inspirational Moment

The hammam visit was particularly memorable and is not to be missed! A sudden flash flood blocked our road to our hotel in the high Atlas Mountains with large boulders and debris but all car drivers and bus passengers helped clear what we could before the heavy machinery arrived to finish the job. No panic and everyone got on with it and the road was cleared in 30 mins- unimaginable in the UK!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Hamid was an absolute legend. We have been on many exodus trips and he was without doubt, the best guide we have ever had. Nothing was too much trouble for him and he could anticipate our needs without having to ask. He even arranged with hotels/riads in advance to avoid any delay for us on arrival. He is a real credit to Exodus

Advice for Potential Travellers

Just book the trip - you won’t regret it but don’t expect 4/5 star accommodation

Highlights of Morocco - In Comfort

This was our first group adventure tour that we have been on. We chose Exodus based on the trip itinerary and discussions with friends who had also been on the same trip. The actual experience of the tour was better than we expected. The tour was extremely well organised and our guide Khaled was very knowledgable on all aspects of Moroccan culture, very customer focused and helpful. Throughout the trip we felt very safe and our driver Mohammed was extremely capable providing a comfortable transfer throughout the whole of the trip.

Most Inspirational Moment

The highlight was the variety of the itinerary rather than anyone specific item. The addition of trips such as the visit/walk to the Berber family and the visit to the village Haman showed what Moroccan life is actually like, an experience you don't get by just visiting the tourist sites.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Khaled was an excellent tour leader, very helpful, knowledgable and would go out of his way to help. On these trips the capability of the tour leader makes these trips and i can say that Khaled certainly made this trip for us. If i was recommending this trip for any friends i would also recommend them asking for Khaled as their tour leader.

A well organised and interesting trip

This trip included a really good range of experiences in this eclectic country. We feel that we have got to know a bit about how the people of the country live in quite different environments from mountain village to city, desert and seaside. Our guide, Tariq, worked hard at explaining the culture and was keen to show us the many different ways in which Moroccan people live. He encouraged us to explore and shop (and barter!) on our own. There were some long days but they were well planned with coffee stops and visits to places of interest en route. Our group of 16 enjoyed the journeys by coach which was air conditioned and even had wifi available for some of the time. We stayed in a range of hotels, each of which were comfortable and often had something special to appreciate, such as the amazing painted ceilings in the riads.

Most Inspirational Moment

Visiting the village hammam was a fun experience and rounded off a day spent walking in the mountains with amazing views and including a visit to the infant school where we started to understand a little of daily life for the children that live in this mountain area. We also enjoyed the camel ride into the desert to see the sunset. Tariq took some amazing photos of the group in the Sahara that will bring back happy memories (yes, the camels were well-behaved!) for years to come. And buying a mini packed lunch to take on our walk around a Berber village where we saw inhabitants renewing the walls of their houses with mud while donkeys walked by piled high with produce from the plots that families cultivated in the valley.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Tariq was diligent and thoughtful. He shared his knowledge generously and was also keen to learn from us. He found many different places for us to eat and planned our days well. Once he was in charge, things went smoothly. He obviously gets on well with people, not just the tour group. Everywhere we went he knew someone who greeted him and often who could help out with things locally. He gave us suggestions for our free time and his sense of humour was delightful!

Advice for Potential Travellers

You are going to enjoy exploring Morocco. Money: There are quite a lot of ATMs where you are charged about £2 to withdraw money, but at a better rate than at the exchange at the airport. If you find a post office ATM machine (there is one in the arrivals hall at the airport and in the main square in Marrakech) then you don't get charged, but there can be long queues. Weather: We were there for the last 2 weeks of May and there had been temperatures of 37degC in the weeks before we arrived. We had much lower temperatures during our fortnight (up to late 20s), which included 4degC overnight when in the mountain hotel. It also rained while we were sightseeing in Fez and on our way into the desert, which was a bit unexpected, by the Moroccans as well as us! Take layers and a showerproof coat.

Morocco

A good and most enjoyable Trip – educational and enlightening. Superb scenery and sights, both rural and urban, providing good opportunites for photography and bird watching.

Most Inspirational Moment

There wasn't ONE ...... there were many inspirational MOMENTS - experiencing first hand both Arab and Berber cultures - the amazing diversity of habitats through the Country (especially the scenery around Kasbah Oliver) - the diversity of architecture - from the huge Casablanca Mosque to deserted mud-brick Kasbahs - the (general) friendliness of people - a 'picnic' dinner on the terrace of our Fes Riad watching the City and Mosques light-up and the sounds of many Calls to Prayer.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Sayeed - personable, helpful, efficient and informative. Note It is regretful that some adverse and totally unfair comments have been made about Sayeed. Such comments are totally unfounded and unreasonable. We would welcome another Tour lead by him.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Be accepting of a different culture, the different habits and the different standards. Don't consider Morocco to be all sun and heat - it can be cold at night.

Not great

This trip needs to be looked at and to be honest an exodus person needs to be sent out on it. The itinerary needs to be changed for the colder months, and some parts of it should probably be cut out all together. Also the freelance guides that Exodus are using need to be looked at. The guide for this trip did the bare minimum, nothing that he said was engaging or captivating and certain parts of the itinerary (e.g the argon oil farm) were an after thought for him and he was counting the minutes until we were back on the coach. All in all it was a pretty forgettable trip and really quite disappointing

Thoughts on Group Leader

Not great. He didn’t seem to care that we were there.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Maybe book a different trip.

Experience Morocco!

A brilliant trip which covered a lot of the country which is an exciting place to visit.

Most Inspirational Moment

Riding camels in desert, walking in Atlas Mountains, souks in Fez, visiting local families, local hamman in mountains.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Very good, but could have given more information on long drives even about the country.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Even though it is a Premium trip, places to stay where not special but ok for our needs. Minibus for 15/16 people far too small and on the very long journeys it was pretty uncomfortable but we survived!

Full on trip with lots to experience

Prepare for long days, early starts, long bus journey’s and a full itinerary – but be rewarded by great varied scenery, busy bustling medinas with their labyrinth of noisy disorientating souks, to the tranquility of the Atlas mountains and the spectacular desert.

Most Inspirational Moment

It has to be the desert - the camel ride through the sand dunes to the Bedouin tent was magical and a great experience. Loved the High Atlas mountain stay meeting the locals and being invited in a home for a simple meal - the berbers were so friendly and welcoming. Really enjoyed the hike through the High Atlas mountains with great views. Enjoyed free time by the sea in Essaouira - a chance to relax and wander the souks which were a lot more peaceful than busy Marrakech.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Abdullah was a great guide - competent and knowledgeable with a great love of his Berber heritage and culture which he shared with us. He kept us safe and took us to lots of different places to eat, recommending what we should eat and avoid. A lovely man who encouraged us to ask questions about life in Morocco, it's people, culture and religion. He knew everyone. Thanks Abdullah.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Do some reading and preparation before you go especially if you haven't travelled much outside of Europe. This 'premier' tour is not premier by British standards. The accommodation whilst reflecting the Moroccan experience of riads and kasbahs looks lovely and exotic, in practice they are often very basic with hard beds, faulty equipment, poor plumbing and not cleaned to the standard you might expect. Once you accept this - immerse yourself in its difference as they are beautiful. The people on the whole are very welcoming and friendly especially in the rural areas but you will experience poverty and sights that you may find uncomfortable - but this is Morroco - prepare to experience all it has and you will have a great time.
