Pick by what you want
🇪🇬 Choose Egypt if
you want the oldest thing on this list, a river trip through it, and Red Sea diving, at prices nowhere in Europe matches.
🇲🇦 Choose Morocco if
you want somewhere that feels genuinely far away on a three hour flight from Europe, with mountains, desert and old cities in one trip.
