The Best Private Trips To Book In North Africa

From private tours in Morocco and adventures in the Sahara desert, to a sightseeing extravaganza along the Nile of Egypt, these are the Culture Trip itineraries you can book as a private trip with your favourite travel companions.

There’s plenty of pros for going private. Obviously it means you can keep the guest-list locked down, so you can enjoy memory-making travel experiences with only the ones you love most. It also allows for far greater flexibility on travel dates, group sizes (minimum of 4) and even age requirements.
