Next, you will carry on driving until you reach Meknes where you will enjoy another tour before completing the journey to Fez. On arrival in Fez, you will be dropped off at your hotel and you will have the remainder of the day to yourself.

DAY 10 – Fez Sightseeing Tour

Enjoy a good hotel breakfast, and then at the confirmed time, you will be picked up from your hotel, and you will be taken for a truly immersive tour of Fez. This tour is best described as a journey back through time, particularly when you visit the tanneries and the potters. You will have a local guide accompanying you, so you can be sure that you really will get to see the most fascinating aspects of Fez before finally returning to your hotel later in the afternoon.

DAY 11 – Fez to Marrakech via the Middle Atlas Mountains

Enjoy your breakfast, and then it will be time for you to check-out. Your driver guide will collect you from the hotel at the agreed time, and then he will be driving you to Marrakech via the Middle Atlas Mountains. This is an incredibly scenic drive up in the mountains and one which you are bound to remember.

When you reach Marrakech, you will be taken to check-in at the hotel where you will be staying for the night, and then shortly after that, you will head back out for a stroll around Jemaa el-Fnaa, the bustling square around which Marrakech grew. We highly recommend have some tea in the later afternoon or early evening on a rooftop terrace at one of the adjacent cafes so you can enjoy a wonderful view of the square below. When you are finished at the square, just let your driver know, and he will transfer you back to your hotel for the night.

DAY 12 – Marrakech Sightseeing Tour

Start the 12th day of your Egypt, Morocco Tour with another good breakfast, and then at the confirmed time, you will be picked up, and you will be taken for a tour which will see you visiting a number of attraction in the city, including the Palace of the Bahia; the Saadian Tombs, and more. Later in the day, after you have had a bit of a lunch break, you will be taken to see the Koutoubia Mosque, and from there you will head back to Jemaa el-Fnaa again. Today’s tour will end with a visit the nearby souk, after which you will be driven back to your hotel for your last night in Marrakech.

DAY 13 – Return to Casablanca and Farewell Dinner

Enjoy breakfast at your hotel, and then you will have the reminder of the morning to yourself. Shortly after lunch time, you will be picked up from your hotel and you will be driven to Casablanca where you will be spending the last night of your Egypt, Morocco tour.

Tonight you will also be taken for a good farewell dinner at the very popular Le Basma restaurant. After enjoying your dinner at this fine establishment, you will be driven back to your hotel.

Meals Included: Breakfast and Dinner

Morocco vs Egypt: which north African country should you visit?

Sally Kirby

Aug 10, 2023 • 7 min read

North Africa calls – but to which of its legendary destinations’ siren songs should you answer?

We asked a pair of experienced correspondents to each sing in praise of two of the region’s most beguiling countries: Morocco and Egypt. Whichever place you pick for your next journey, you’re sure to strike the right note.

Mesmerizing Morocco 

Travel journalist and UK native Sally Kirby moved to Morocco in 2018, realizing she would always have places (and waves) to feed her curious, surf-loving soul there.

Did you know that Morocco has nine Unesco World Heritage Sites ? Egypt has seven. Sure, one of them is the Great Pyramid of Giza – yet archaeology enthusiasts will be spoiled for choice with the ancient sights (empty of crowds and mostly free of charge) all over Morocco. Think the exquisite Roman ruins at Volubilis , the ancient casbah Ait Ben Haddou , and the Medinas of Marrakesh , Fez  and Essaouira , plus Igiliz, a long-forgotten acropolis now being excavated and opened to tourists. 

Alongside these ancient sites are Morocco’s trendsetting cities such as Rabat , Marrakech and Casablanca . They cater to a growing number of discerning inhabitants and travelers, with lively art scenes, contemporary museums , shopping malls, luxury hotels, buzzing nightlife and globe-reaching music festivals  – all linked by modern tramways and high-speed trains .  

Morocco’s Sahara offers a glimpse into a nomadic way of life. The giant dunes of Erg Chigaga and Erg Chebbi feature an ocean of red sand that rises up to 500ft over the surrounding terrain. This is the real Sahara, and very easy to access – but don’t take my word for it. You can read up on the differences between the Moroccan and Egyptian desert experiences from a very reliable source here .

Now let’s talk about Morocco’s 1250 miles (2000km) of Atlantic coastline, home to some of the best surfing waves in the world. (Sorry, Egypt.) The country’s surf capital, Taghazout Bay has a three-mile (5km) sandy beach that blends luxury beach resorts with a surf-and-yoga, go-with-the-flow vibe that’s generating Reels all over Instagram. Anchor Point, the local showstopper wave, now hosts a leg of the WSL (World Surf League) international surfing championship. Oh, and in a counterpart to Egypt’s Med and Red Sea beaches, I should mention Morocco’s Mediterranean coast , home to striking emerald coves and stunning beaches for the 310-mile (500km) stretch between Tangier and Oujda . 

All that coastline makes Morocco well positioned to haul in plentiful fresh fish: the country is the world’s largest exporter of canned sardines. Moroccans traditionally serve their fish straight off the boat onto a grill, with seasoning, olive oil and a squeeze of lemon – as fresh as it comes, and utterly delicious. Food is a massive part of Moroccan culture – usually home-cooked using seasonal recipes handed down over generations. Tasty tagines, couscous, soups and salads are guaranteed.

Perhaps Morocco’s biggest asset is its year-round sunshine, making it an excellent beach or pool vacation choice, especially in the south, around Agadir . With so much abundant sun, Morocco is home to the world’s largest concentrated solar farm and on track to become a leader in renewable energy. The heat is less intense than on Egypt’s Red Sea beaches, primarily due to the cool breeze that blows off the Atlantic Ocean even in the summer months.

Hiking enthusiasts flock to the Atlas Mountains , with its easily accessible day and longer treks . At 13,670ft (4167m), Mt Toubkal is the highest peak in North Africa, providing an interesting hiking challenge for wannabe mountaineers. Nature and wildlife lovers can also enjoy safari adventures in Ifrane National Park, home to Barbary apes, or Souss Massa National Park , with its oryx and other endemic species. 

If you’re still undecided, one final point: the spirit of Morocco will speak to you. This is a peaceful country with community at its heart, where people have time for each other and the things that matter. To be part of that, even for a holiday, can be a life-changing travel experience. 

One I wholeheartedly recommend. 

A camel driver in front of the Pyramids of Giza, Egypt

Enchanting Egypt

Dr Jenny Walker has spent 25 years working in the Middle East and has covered Egypt among other regional destinations in multiple Lonely Planet guidebooks. She recently drove 8500km (5300 miles) from Oman to her home in northern Spain .

“It’s sublime,” a friend newly returned from Morocco said. “It has mountains as high as the Alps, souks more labyrinthine than the Hampton Court Maze and old castles that put the pyramids in the shade.” Pausing to take a breath between superlatives, she added, “And there’s a garden in Marrakesh that’s quite simply a world wonder.” Well…I grant you the Atlas Mountains are a wow, particularly when dusted with winter snows. And yes, you’re bound to get lost in the souks of Fez and Marrakesh – and I get that Yves Saint Laurent’s garden is exotically blue. But can the desert fortifications, which only hint at the mighty Sahara beyond, really overshadow the great works of the ancients?

Let’s face it: if it’s world wonders we’re talking about, there’s simply no contest. No other country but Egypt offers the chance of visiting one of the original seven. Looming over the desert on the edge of Cairo and built to house the remains of Khufu – a powerful Old Kingdom pharaoh from the 26th-Century BC – the Great Pyramid is the only wonder from the ancient world that survives. You can read about it, imagine its size and conceptualize its age, yet only sitting on a camel pacing across the arid Giza Plateau can you really appreciate its extraordinary scale and beauty. The pyramids have inspired creation myths (think “alien conspiracy theories”), been the subject of a dedicated branch of archaeology and been immortalized in film to such an extent that “Indiana Jones” has become an adjective in Egyptian culture. They continue to feature on the top 10 “must-dos” of most travelers’ bucket lists. Nothing – not even a jumbo jet in a fleeting flyby – can put these giants in the shade.

And if we’re talking “bests,” let’s throw in some other world wonders. Take Luxor ’s Valley of the Kings , where just over 100 years ago the tomb of Tutankhamun  was found with all the young pharaoh’s funereal possessions intact. Nested in an elaborate three-part sarcophagus, Tutankhamun’s mummy was surrounded by magnificent artifacts comprising over 2600lbs (1200kg) of gold – more dazzle than all the polished brass of a Meknes market combined.

So let’s just take it as a given that when it comes to the ancients, Egypt is unparalleled. But what about adventure? Sure, Morocco boasts high mountains, but Egypt has its own share of natural bounty. There’s a river for a start, and not just any old river – at 4130 miles (6650km), the Nile vies with the Amazon as the world’s longest. Supporting life along its shores for thousands of years, it offers today’s visitors a green way of traveling between top sites.

Then there’s the desert, its western part a geography lesson in geological formations and remote oasis towns, the eastern part home to hermits. In the tradition of monastic isolation inspired by their mountain strongholds, the brethren of the monasteries of St Anthony’s and St Paul’s , together with St Catherine’s in the Sinai , have inherited not just a legacy of Coptic treasures but also the art of living simply.

And the garden? I’ll concede that Jardin Marjorelle is a modern Marrakesh classic, but a world wonder?... (Give it a few thousand years; who knows?) For now, my money’s on the gardens of the deep, which lie off shore in the crystal clear waters of Egypt’s Red Sea . Home to dugong, whale sharks and 1000 species of fish, these superb waters are decorated with 150 types of corals, every bit as exotic as a garden in blue.

Israel carried out strike on Iran, US officials say

Foreign office travel warning for anyone going to egypt and morocco as 'situation changing fast'.

UK tourists planning to visit Egypt or Morocco have been alerted to a rapidly changing situation in the Middle East following serious events over the weekend.

The popularity of Egypt and Morocco as holiday destinations have surged recently thanks to their affordable luxury resorts and hot climate which is drawing in UK holidaymakers. However, in light of an attack by Iran on Israel last week, the UK government has revised its travel guidance for both countries.

Although Egypt and Morocco were not targets in the recent strike, the Foreign Office updated its advice on the gov.uk website, cautioning travellers: "On 13 April 2024 Iran carried out military action against Israel . Monitor this travel advice and other media as the situation is changing fast. Follow and contact FCDO travel on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram."

Egypt, which shares a land border with Israel, has specific advisories regarding certain areas. The government advises: "FCDO advises against all travel to within 20km of the Egypt-Libya border, except for the town of El Salloum (where we advise against all but essential travel)."

Additionally, British nationals are urged to avoid North Sinai, South Sinai, the Hala'ib Triangle, the Ismailiyah Governorate east of the Suez Canal, and various locations in the Western Desert west of the Nile Valley and Nile Delta regions, reports the Mirror .

The ministry warns: "There is a high threat of terrorist attack globally affecting UK interests and British nationals, including from groups and individuals who view the UK and British nationals as targets. You should remain vigilant at all times. Terrorism is a risk across Egypt, particularly in North Sinai. Attacks could be indiscriminate.

"The authorities in Egypt have a significant security presence across the country, including armed security officers at important sites, critical infrastructure and road checkpoints. Extra measures are in place at tourist sites.

"There is a heightened threat of terrorism in and around religious sites and during religious festivals, such as the month of Ramadan and the Christmas period (including Coptic Christmas in January). Terrorist attacks have occurred over local holiday weekends."

It also cautioned about a threat of kidnapping by terrorist groups near the border and remote desert areas stating: "British nationals are viewed as legitimate targets, including those engaged in tourism, humanitarian aid work, journalism or business sectors. If you are kidnapped, the reason for your presence is unlikely to serve as a protection or secure your safe release."

The Foreign Office has also updated its travel advice for Morocco, issuing new cautions to British nationals. The update includes a stark warning: "On 13 April 2024 Iran carried out military action against Israel. Terrorists are very likely to try to carry out attacks in Morocco. There is a high threat of terrorist attack globally affecting UK interests and British nationals, including from groups and individuals who view the UK and British nationals as targets. You should remain vigilant at all times."

Additionally, the risk associated with local sympathies towards extremist groups was underlined: "There is an increased threat linked to the number of Moroccans sympathetic or belonging to Daesh (formerly ISIL) and other extremist groups. Authorities regularly disrupt terrorist cells. While there have been no recent kidnappings of foreign nationals in Morocco, it cannot be ruled out."

Foreign Office updates travel warnings for Brits heading to Egypt, Dubai and Morocco

The UK Foreign Office (FCDO) has urged people to check travel advice before they head overseas to countries including Egypt and Morocco following an Iranian missile and drone strike on Israel

A view of Dubai over the desert

  • 10:24, 17 Apr 2024
  • Updated 12:20, 17 Apr 2024

Travel warnings have been issued by the UK Foreign Office for popular holiday destinations including Egypt and Morocco.

The updates come after a recent drone attack on Israel by Iran and increased tensions following events in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories. The UK Foreign Office (FCDO) has urged people to check travel advice before they head overseas.

"On 13 April 2024 Iran carried out military action against Israel. Monitor this travel advice and other media as the situation is changing fast. Follow and contact FCDO travel on Twitter , Facebook and Instagram. You can also get email notifications when this travel advice is updated," the organisation states online.

Morocco, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates are countries in the region which have been the subject of recently updated FCDO advice, while being popular holiday destinations among Brits.

The North African country is a big destination for British travellers, thanks to the cheap flights that link up with several Moroccan cities, the beautiful beaches and the large cat population. While it is one of the safest countries in the region and most friendly to Western tourists, it is not completely disconnected from the issues in the Middle East.

The FDCO has urged travellers to check the travel page for Morocco before they travel or book holidays to the country, as “the situation is changing fast” following the Iranian military action against Israel on April 13. It warns that “terrorists are very likely to try to carry out attacks in Morocco.”

It says places of high risk of attack include: crowded areas, government installations, transportation networks, businesses with Western interests and areas where foreign nationals and tourists are known to gather. It urges visitors to be vigilant and follow the advice of local security authorities.

Egypt is another big destination for British travellers but one which is much more closely connected to the politics of the Middle East, while also sharing a border with Palestine. Cairo, Sharm el Sheikh and Alexandria are in the same region as the contentious Raffa Crossing.

As with Morocco, travellers to Egypt are urged to check the FCDO's website for the latest advice before travelling. The organisation currently advises against travel to a number of parts of the country, including all travel to within 20km of the Egypt-Libya border, except for the town of El Salloum, and all travel to the Governorate of North Sinai.

It also advises against all but essential travel to the area west of the Nile Valley and Nile Delta regions, except for specific parts which can be checked online.

The FCDO adds that the land border into Israel from Egypt at Taba could close with little notice. It advises to check with local authorities and consult the travel advice for Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories before trying to cross the border.

UK travellers are also warned of demonstrations and protests taking place in Egypt in response to events in Israel. It states: “Demonstrations could take place at short notice, with a heavy security presence in place. You should avoid large gatherings, demonstrations and protests.”

Terrorist attacks are “very likely” in Egypt, although that does not mean your chances of being caught up in one are high. The FCDO warns that likely targets include Egyptian security forces, religious sites, large public gatherings and places visited by foreigners. Travellers are urged to follow the advice of Egyptian authorities and stay vigilant in crowds and large gatherings.

United Arab Emirates

When it comes to the UAE, whether Abu Dhabi, Dubai or one of the other Emirates, the FCDO warns that terrorists are “likely” to try to carry out attacks.

It states that targets may include: residential compounds, military sites, oil, transport, aviation interests, crowded places, restaurants, hotels, beaches, shopping centres and places of worship. Travellers are urged to "maintain a high level of security awareness, particularly in public places and at public events.

It said: "FCDO advises against all travel to within 20km of the Egypt-Libya border, except for the town of El Salloum (where we advise against all but essential travel)." It added: "There is a high threat of terrorist attack globally affecting UK interests and British nationals, including from groups and individuals who view the UK and British nationals as targets.

"You should remain vigilant at all times." And in a warning for Morocco visitors, it said: "There is currently a heightened chance of demonstrations and protests occurring across the country. You should avoid these gatherings, and be aware of the potential for protests to occur spontaneously.

"Protests can happen at short notice and are generally heavily policed. Demonstrations are mostly peaceful but there has been isolated violence. Demonstrations and protests may lead to increased travel disruption in affected areas.

"Follow any media reporting and instructions from local security authorities. Avoid political gatherings and demonstrations." Morocco and Egypt are two of the most popular holiday hotspots for British travellers each and every year, with the likes of Sharm El Sheikh and Marrakech popular.

The rapidly changing situation in the Far East has threatened UK holidays in Morocco and Egypt, the Foreign Office has said.
