North Africa Tour Packages
Pyramids and Nile temples in Egypt, the medinas and Sahara dunes of Morocco, and the Roman ruins of Tunisia. North Africa is close to the Gulf hubs, rich in history, and works well for couples, families and groups.
North Africa Tour Overview
North Africa is the part of the continent that faces the Mediterranean and the Sahara. Egypt has the Pyramids of Giza, the Egyptian Museum, Luxor and Aswan, and the Nile. Morocco has the old medinas of Marrakech and Fes, the blue lanes of Chefchaouen and camel rides in the Sahara dunes at Merzouga. Tunisia adds Carthage, Sidi Bou Said and quiet beaches.
We plan the trip around your dates, group and budget. A first trip is often 7 days in Egypt (Cairo, Luxor, Aswan) or 8 days in Morocco (Casablanca, Fes, Sahara, Marrakech). Both can be joined into a longer plan. Flights usually connect through Gulf cities such as Dubai, Doha or Abu Dhabi.

Travel Tips for North Africa
- Book Egypt in winter early. December and January are busy. Nile cruise cabins and Luxor flights fill up first.
- Dress modestly. Cover shoulders and knees in mosques, markets and small towns, and carry a scarf.
- Bargain politely. Prices in markets are negotiable. Agree on the price before you take a photo, a ride or a guide.
- Beware of touts. Use your hotel or tour guide for camel rides, horse rides and bazaar visits to avoid pressure sales.
- Carry small cash. Keep local currency for tips and small shops. Cards work in hotels and larger shops.
- Expect early starts. Temples and deserts are best before the heat. Plan wake-up calls at 5 or 6 am on sightseeing days.
- Check the weather in the desert. Sahara nights can be cold in winter. Carry a jacket.
This is a likely schedule. The tour manager may adjust it for weather, flight timings or local rules.
