I would like to thank Beyond Vacations for the confidence they gave us for our eco trip to Egypt. It wasn’t an easy choice considering the country’s history with foreigners and to top it all, staying in camps in the desert was our dream but with a lot of hesitations. My boyfriend and I were more than impressed with the service that Beyond Vacations provided and our personal guide who stayed with us the whole trip made everything extremely smooth and easy.
Cairo is a bit too much to handle considering the chaos and the crazy driving. Even though it is not the best city to visit, but it is a must only for the Pyramids and the Museum. The Sinai desert and Dahab are just 2 spots never to be missed if you ever plan a trip to Egypt. Waking up at 1am for a hike and see the sunrise is breathtaking and snorkeling in the red sea is a wonder.
Downside of the trip: The food wasn’t to our liking and the water gave us few problems otherwise it was a great trip for us and would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to visit Egypt and not be stuck on a bus with 50 other travelers.

I would like to thank Beyond Vacations for the wonderful package they put together for us (5 people). All went like clockwork, the car rental (4×4), the hotel accommodations and to top it all, we had our own private guides in all the cities (Marrakech, Fes, Ouarzazat, Casablanca and the Todra Gorge). The night we spent camping in the desert was unforgettable! I would recommend to whomever wants to go to Morocco to get a private guide and stay in 5* hotels. Their 4* is not the same in Morocco as in North America.
