Sahara Atlas Tours What a fabulous tour company Sahara Atlas Tours is. They have a wealth of local knowledge about all parts of Morocco, and you leave them feeling part of the family. Nothing is too much, and they will accommodate all your needs, design your tours the way you want, and are very flexible to fit your style. We loved the personal nature of the trips and being able to take everything at our own pace. Inspiring experiences while travelling through Morocco with them, comfortable cars and very safe driving, along with a bit of fun along the way. There is nothing like singing and dancing to local tunes to break up the long drives. Thank you to Ismail for taking extra special care of my husband and me; we were very grateful to continue exploring your beautiful country, and meeting you and your team made it even harder to leave. I recommend Sahara Atlas Tours and look forward to returning to Morocco shortly to experience more adventures together.

Tiziri Camp - Four Nights Luxury at its best. We started with a two-night stay at Tiziri and finished with four nights! It was a perfect oasis to enjoy downtime and completely disconnect from life for a few days. We arrived by camels at the camp , and it was the perfect way to start our stay, riding camels through the Sahara desert at sunset. The camels are well cared for; surprisingly, the ride was very comfortable, and the views were incredible. The colours of the desert were mesmerising. Upon arriving at Tiziri Camp, your mind is blown; it is a luxury camp in the desert, with only six very intimate tents, and the atmosphere is instant serenity. Upon arriving at Tiziri Camp, your mind is blown; it is a luxury camp in the desert, with only six very intimate tents, and the atmosphere is instant serenity. Our tent was beautiful, with the most comfortable, cosy, and warm bed. The tents have everything you need. You are spoilt with lovely electric blankets and a hot water bottle to keep you warm. A nice warm shower, as it does get cold overnight, but once the sun rises, you enjoy terrific blue sky days and endless sunshine. The camp is so peaceful during the day; you welcome relaxation and take in the views, and the dunes are so picturesque. You can even enjoy afternoon wine in the desert! Sunrises and sunsets go without saying; they are magical. As a bonus, the sun rises at 7:30 a.m. in Morocco, so you can even sleep in. The food was fabulous, and you didn't go hungry; breakfast is a beautiful spread of everything you can think of, and dinner is a three-course dinner. We even skipped lunch to try and squeeze in dinner. In the evenings, the staff gathers around a beautiful, warm fire after dinner. You enjoy local music and learn about Berber life; it was genuinely magical, including the stargazing. The team at Tiziri were beautiful, and nothing was too much; they were always available to satisfy your requests and continually surprised you with tea and Moroccan treats throughout the day. We were even fortunate to experience making (and eating) Berber pizza in a neighbouring camp, and it was a beautiful experience.  Tiziri was also more in-depth in the desert and much more remote than other camps; you felt like the desert was all yours. We loved the camp so much we would book again in a heartbeat. All staff warmly welcomed you, and it's great to see they are taking an eco-friendly approach and doing their best to keep the deserts in their pristine state. Thank you so much for having us, and don't think twice; if you are considering Tiziri, you won't be disappointed.

I do wonder if we dance like no one is watching. I see this sign everywhere, but do we stop and take notice? Dance like no one is watching means putting yourself out there; people will judge your sexuality, looks, style, sanity, and the list goes on forever. I'm not a great dancer. I have had a motto of first on the dance floor. Putting yourself out there for others to judge leaves you open. As you age, you realise it's not about material items; they will not bring you happiness. As I travel, I realise those magical moments—dancing on the street in Koh Samui with a beautiful soul closer to ninety than she would like to admit. Every night, she would walk past the jazz restaurant opposite our place, Red Moon . With her husband by her side, she would stand swaying to the music. Damn it if I didn't get up from my seat and ask her to dance. That moment will be etched into our memories more than any trinket we purchase. The moment of being the only male in a room in Morocco dancing to celebrate a wedding. Another Koh Samui moment was dancing with Audhild from Oslo, who has her own unique set of dancing wheels (a wheelchair). I cannot wait to see you, Audhild, in Norway as soon as our travels take us there. A shout-out to our favourite Legend Band in Kusadasi , Turkey. Let's all try to dance like no one is watching.

Joy's Home Restaurant This is a delight, and the food is spectacular. Joy's Home is a must-visit small restaurant in Wong Amat Beach. Joy, the owner, is a waitress and cook. She is an absolute delight and will make sure your visit is memorable. You will need a little patience, but it is worth waiting, so don't give up on her. Joy not only takes your order (she is great at recommending it, too) but will also cook it fresh. Don't worry; she ensures you have your drinks to keep you busy first. Her Thai and Italian food is superb, and she is also great with dietary requirements. The pizzas are perfect, have a lovely thin crust, and are delicious. You can get cheap wine by the glass or carafe at very affordable prices. We have visited Joy's Home a few times and have loved giving back to a local businesswoman. She is passionate and speaks fantastic English, and her restaurant is like eating at her Home; she makes you feel welcome.

Castle of Gjirokastra It was a fun day exploring Castle Gjirokastra, a 12th-century fortress in Gjirokastra, Albania. It was very insightful to learn about the experiences of living in a communist country. We also wandered through the eerie cells; of course, there were more beautiful views of Drino Valley. There is also a weapons museum, where you can even pick them up! This wonderful experience costs 400 Albania Lek (ALL), which converts to approximately 3 EUR, and it is worth the additional 200 (ALL) to explore the museums. Gjirokastër Castle is a fortress in Gjirokastër, Albania (during Ottoman rule, it was historically known as Ergiri while local Greeks referred to it as Argyrokastro, a name also applied to the castle. Gjirokastër Castle is situated at a height of 336m above sea level and under protection from UNESCO.
