Morocco

Atlas Mule Train

Adventure travel specially designed for younger children (2 to around 9). This trip takes in the delights of Marrakech where you'll be able to explore the colourful bazaar and main square with its musicians and jugglers. Our hotel has a pool where the kids can cool off after their adventures in the souk. Then, when we reach the mountains, the children can ride mules while you walk alongside, discovering Berber villages and dramatic mountains. The tour is rounded off with a few days on the coast at Essaouira - an old pirates lair with a wonderful old port, complete with ramparts, old cannons and a lively bazaar. For full details see our Atlas Mule Train Itinerary.

High Atlas Adventure

Aimed at children from 7 up to 16, this journey also visits the bazaars and alleyways of old Marrakech as well as the mountains. There's a little more walking than on our Atlas Mule train trip with the challenge of walking over a high pass with amazing views. This trip fits perfectly into the Half Term break and if you want to extend with a visit to the coast you can take our Essaouira extension. For full details see our High Atlas Adventure Itinerary.

Kasbahs & Camels

This trip is designed for families who want to see more of the cultural side of Morocco with very little walking involved. You'll start in Marrakech and then drive over a spectacular mountain road across the High Atlas to Ait Benhaddou, of Gladiator fame. As well as exploring kasbahs in the Atlas, you'll also visit a remote village and discover the typical Moroccan atmosphere of the old city of Taroudant. Finally you'll travel to the coast for a relaxing few days at Essaouira. For full details see our Kasbahs & Camels Itinerary

Jordan

Crusaders & Camels

This wonderfully friendly country is at its best in late spring. Highlights include the Dead Sea, where you can float in it's saline waters and enjoy a fun day at a lido (with water slides and many pools). You'll stand at the spot where Moses once looked out over the Promised Land, explore a wonderfully preserved crusader castle at Kerak and spend a few days at Petra - 'the rose red city, half as old as time'. You'll also visit one of the most beautiful desert areas in the world, Wadi Rum, stay in a Bedouin-style camp and explore by camel and jeep. Finally, a day to relax and snorkel at Aqaba on the Red Sea. For full details see our Crusaders and Camels Itinerary

Egypt

Feluccas & Pyramids

One of our most popular trips, and it's not difficult to see why. In Cairo you'll discover the Pyramids and see the vast array of treasures in the Egyptian Museum (mummies and Tutankhamun's gold). Then there's Aswan, with its street bazaars, the fascinating High Dam and a morning's camel ride in the desert. At Luxor, you'll see ancient Karnak and ride donkeys to the Valley of the Kings. The highlight for most people is the two-days that your family travel by traditional felucca sailboat along the river Nile itself. This trip is a great mixture of what we're all about at Families Worldwide - discovery, activity, learning, nature and fun! For full details see our Feluccas and Pyramids Itinerary.

Nile Cruise

This trip features Cairo and the Pyramids too; as well as Aswan & Luxor. The main difference is a three night stay aboard a Nile Cruise boat instead of one night on a felucca. This offers a little more comfort for your journey along the river. For full details see our Nile Cruise Itinerary.
