A fabulous trip!

This was an amazing trip. We packed a lot in to 2wks. Cities, mosques, kasbahs, medinas, countryside, desert camping (including camels!), mountain villages, hikes, a fishing port. Oh, and some shopping! There were some long travel days, but they didn’t feel long… the bus was comfortable (and our driver Hassan was excellent!), with frequent stops for sights / loo breaks. Also, the scenery was interesting. Our guide Mohamed was superb, one of the best we’ve ever had (and we’ve been lucky with Exodus to always have excellent guides, so the standard is high). One example… We had an unexpected issue with the bus on about day 3 which wasn’t fixable locally, and we all assumed the itinerary for that day might need to change, or at least that we’d be delayed for a while. But thanks to Mohamed’s organisational skills, enough taxis turned up within 20mins to take us all on to our next scheduled stop, with Mohamed following once he’d sorted a replacement bus.

Most Inspirational Moment

Several... mainly in the countryside, desert and mountains. I particularly enjoyed being in the Sahara with the Berber guides playing music (and encouraging us to dance!) around the campfire. Also, the lunch in a village near Skoura. The family who hosted us were utterly charming and welcoming. The hammam in the High Atlas was also a highlight, with two lovely ladies looking after us well.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Mohamed was superb as mentioned above. He was approachable, patient, calm, quietly getting on with things. Friendly and easy to be around. He was clearly liked and respected by the various local guides we met, and the people we stayed with or visited in the desert and mountains.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Book this trip, you won't regret it! I've read others who've had delays at the airport, we had no trouble at all, it was quick and easy to get through (it's probably improved in recent years). There's no form to complete for a visa, just a few questions at passport control (flight number / hotel details / occupation). Money wise, the exchange rate is slightly worse at the airport than in town. Cashpoints are more expensive in Marrakech than elsewhere (in my experience). If you like buying souvenirs, pack an extra bag for your trip home!

HIghlights of Morocco

My wife Cristina and I just returned from a wonderful trip to Morocco. The trip was interesting, but it became even more fabulous thanks to our leader, Mohamed Ait Lmoud.

Thoughts on Group Leader

He was the best!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Morocco is such a mixture of cultures and there is a lot to take in Be open minded and flexible, you never know where that alley In a souk might take you

Highlights of Morocco

One of the best Exodus trips I have experienced. Exodus was able to select the best locations of Morocco to provide an experience not to be forgotten for a long time. We were 15 in our group and we were all quite fun and enjoyable with each other during the long bus rides and tour walks and meals together. We enjoyed the tours of Marrakech, Fez, and Essaouira. Quite thrilling to ride the camels on the Sahara Desert. The sunrise and sunsets on the Sahara were spectacular.

Most Inspirational Moment

Tours of Fez (tannery, porcelain shops, Medina and the souk). Camel ride in the Sahara Desert and seeing the sunrise and sunsets while staying at the Bedouin campsites. Our group leader took us to his family’s village in the High Atlas region was heartwarming.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Mohamed was the best ever. He was energetic, full of information, extremely helpful, resolved our concerns and a great person to have met and be with. I don’t know how he was able to find and retrieve the phone of a member in our group who dropped it in the Sahara Desert ! A miracle!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Be prepared for long bus rides (but with frequent stops for driver rest, coffee and toilet breaks). Almost all of our tour members got stomach problems so be prepared for this to occur. I was one that didn’t have issues - use bottled water for everything (brushing teeth, washing hands, and drinking liquids). Be aware when showering or washing face not to get the water in your mouth. Food is great but be careful in eating fruits and vegetables that was not washed with bottled or filtered water.

Bucket List Trip

This tour really had it all in terms of a broad range of experiences that took you from the mountains to the coast to the desert and so much in between. Everyday brought something interesting to experience, photograph and talk about with fellow travellers. There were 13 travellers in our van, and that was a large enough group! Most of the accommodations were fine. We very much enjoyed dinners at the riads and the family home. It was an awesome and inspiring trip that brought a deeper appreciation of a Muslim country. Every sense was engaged! We found the people warm, welcoming, and kind. It is not likely that we will return (given that there are numerous bucket list countries yet to visit), and this trip felt like it truly satisfied our curiosity.

Most Inspirational Moment

One of the most inspiring moments was seeing the Sahara desert; the abrupt change in the land to massive dunes was mind boggling. It is hard to pick out just one inspiring moment as everyday seemed to bring forth something. The way every sense was engaged was inspiring!

Thoughts on Group Leader

Our group leader was amazing. He had tremendous patience and maintained composure, flexibility, and kindness without fail. Muhammad deserves recognition for his role in making this trip fabulous. He was very open and willing to answer every question. He was very proud of his country, and it showed. We found that inspiring.

Advice for Potential Travellers

Pay attention to the trip notes!! They were right on. Take a pair of flip flops. We found that a T-shirt or tank top with a linen over shirt worked the best. Loose fitting pants for hot days riding in the van are a must. A pashmina/shawl was the best thing I packed. Travel with carryon if you can; we were glad we did! Bring a reusable water bottle for sure!!! We forgot and regretted it. Exodus provided water, which was great. Respect the customs of the country, and use the advice of the leader.

Highlights of Morocco trip

Trip was very good—a lot of driving but we got to see a lot of the country.

Most Inspirational Moment

Our camel ride; the Roman ruins; Rabat, Essouaira, the Atlas Mountains—impossible to pick just one.

Thoughts on Group Leader

We were so fortunate to have Mohamed as our tour guide. He was perfect in every way, looking after us in every detail for our comfort and safety. He was so well organized, but above all so kind. Cannot recommend him highly enough!

Advice for Potential Travellers

Be aware that on this trip the accommodations leave a lot to be desired in terms of convenience and functionality. The weakest part of the trip.

A fabulous trip to Morocco

The trip gave us a superb introduction to Morocco blending cities with desert and mountain locations.

Most Inspirational Moment

I enjoying the sunrise camel ride and the chance to meet a Berber family in their own home.

Thoughts on Group Leader

Khaled was an excellent leader and a first rate ambassador for his country. He planned extra activities to enhance our experience such as a city tour of Rabat for the group and a visit to an oasis. Khaled selected some excellent city guides for us especially our guide in Meknes.I enjoyed the range of restaurants he chose and the entertainment some offered. He was always pleasant, friendly and engaging and had a can do attitude. I would be absolutely delighted to find he was our leader on another trip. Mention must be made of Ishmael too who was an extremely careful driver and always pleasant and helpful in any way he could be. They were an ideal duo for our trip.

Advice for Potential Travellers

An excellent trip as a first introduction to Morocco. The only disappointment was the hotels. At times they were well out of the centres and very basic indeed. For example in Essaouira the trip notes said the hotel was in the heart of the medina. In fact it was a good 40-50 minute walk away. In Marrakesh the hotel was a 55 minutes walk from the centre. It was a five star trip but I cannot give it that because of the hotels.

Highlights of Morocco

Great trip, good organisation and a nice group of fellow travellers. Accommodation basic but adequate.

Most Inspirational Moment

Our Group Leader actually got my wife on a camel!
