Apsley Travel · Bespoke Luxury Travel
Morocco and Jordan are the two leading Middle East / North Africa private-tour destinations. Morocco offers extraordinary sensory variety — Marrakech and Fez riads, the Atlas Mountains, Sahara desert camps and the Atlantic coast at Essaouira. Jordan offers tighter archaeological depth — Petra, Wadi Rum, Jerash, the Dead Sea — in a more compact route.
Morocco is the better choice for sensory variety — riads, souks, Atlas Mountains, Sahara, Atlantic coast — and a 10–14-night journey. Jordan is the better choice for archaeological depth (Petra, Wadi Rum, Jerash) and a tighter 7–10-night route.

Morocco: October–April. Jordan: March–May, September–November. Both avoid the heat of mid-summer.
Yes — both work well with children 8+. Morocco engages younger children better (sensory); Jordan rewards older interest in history.
Logistically difficult — different regions with no direct flights. We recommend separate trips, or combining Jordan with Egypt.
Jordan is slightly cheaper at equivalent luxury tier, partly due to shorter recommended itineraries.
