Our Middle East & North Africa Travel Specialists

Zicasso’s travel specialist did an amazing job working with us to put together an outstanding agenda and making all the arrangements on her end. The team delivered an absolutely outstanding experience in Egypt! Having one Egyptologist for the entire time was extremely helpful, and he was outstanding, making our time in Egypt extremely memorable.

I think Zicasso’s travel specialist did a fantastic job and oversaw everything, so we felt comfortable. We had a few incidents that were not pleasant, as in Jordan, with security holding us up going in/out, as we had binoculars that were not in our checked bags. They were really snotty at the border when we were leaving.
We also had a problem in Abu Simbel when our greeter person took us to the site. The guide was late and, once he showed up, we knew he could not go into the monuments. When we came out the first time, he was nowhere to be seen. He showed up 10 minutes later. When we came out of the second monument, again he was nowhere to be seen. Then, before the departure, he disappeared again. When people tell me they will be at a certain location and they are not there, it is disturbing.
Our professional Egyptologists at the museum, pyramids, and on the Nile were all fantastic. The driver in Jordan was always on time and did a good job. The car was small and cramped, but we liked the driver and he did a good job. All went smoothly in Jordan.
We got out the day before the bombing and were in Cairo that morning, so we did not have to deal with the war. It did make us nervous being in Egypt and we left a day early, but got home safely.
Overall, the sites were amazing and it flowed pretty smoothly, but would not have done so without the travel specialist checking in with us each day, and especially after the bombing started. I have used Zicasso three or four times and will continue to do so.

We are a group of nine college friends in our mid-70s who had an absolutely wonderful trip of a lifetime to Egypt and Jordan, planned by Zicasso’s travel specialist. Every facet was competently covered: Cairo, Aswan, Abu Simbel, a five-day dahabiya cruise down the Nile, Luxor, and onto Petra in Jordan.

The staff at Zicasso's tour agency were easy to work with. They really listened to what I wanted to achieve on my trip, were flexible, allowed me to voice my opinion, and were very respectful of my budget. The guides were very knowledgeable, friendly, and concerned. I would recommend them to anyone wanting to visit Israel and neighboring countries. They were very professional and personable.

We couldn't have asked for a better tour guide and company. Our travel agent really saved our trip. We reached out just a few weeks before our 11-day visit to the country. We were so impressed at how well he listened to what we wanted to do, as well as our challenges with trying to meet up with our daughter. Despite that, he was able to pull together a magnificent itinerary for Rabat, Tangier, Marrakech, and the Atlas Mountains.
We needed a driver the whole time and our driver was so much more than that. The riads our travel agent found, the restaurants, and the cultural experiences were just perfect. Plus, we had ample downtime. The guides were knowledgeable and accommodating to our requests.
From the minute we arrived in Rabat to the moment we left, we felt in good hands. We are so grateful to their expertise and to Zicasso for connecting us to such an excellent person and company. We will reach out to Zicasso the next time we plan a trip abroad. Meanwhile, we tell everyone we meet about your services.

Every step was carefully curated. We felt safe and well cared for by our Zicasso travel specialist's team of expert guides. The itinerary was perfect.

We enjoyed the diverse landscapes and varying villages and cities we visited. Each area had its own personality and gave us a good educational and cultural experience. Zicasso’s travel company did a fabulous job with our accommodations in every location, as well as the wonderful meals and menus chosen for us, and the planned stops and activities on our route.

Our driver was spectacular—professional, caring, appropriately protective, and a fabulous driver. Conversation was fun, easy, interesting, and informative. We thoroughly enjoyed his company.
Local guides were amazingly knowledgeable—a much higher quality than other guides we observed.
Dinner with a local host and her husband was terrific. We recommend this experience with them.
Our riad in Morocco was five stars—a cooking class there would be amazing (also our villa in Morocco).
Our desert camp in Morocco was superb because no one else was there and it was isolated from other camps, and we were alone on our camel ride. The food was awful.
