Marrakech or Fez?

Morocco has two energetic cities: Fez and Marrakech, each with a distinct appeal. While Fez is well-known for its traditional craftsmanship and well-preserved medieval architecture, Marrakech is famed for its bustling streets, magnificent palaces, and busy markets. To determine which city better suits your interests, think about your choices, such as whether you'd rather be in the vibrant environment of Marrakech or the authentic old district of Fez. At ETG we have chosen Fez as our favourite city, because you can completely lose yourself in the ancient medina, which is half the fun, but that's just our choice.  Both cities are incredible!  Enjoy! 

Florida or Tanzania?

When Florida and Tanzania appear side by side, it doesn't take a travel boffin to know these countries are pretty different; especially for their natural environments. Both do have fascinating wildlife and beaches, but theme parks are definitely a Florida thing. So let's start with Florida.  Make a note of these! 1. Discover the wonder of Disney in Orlando at Walt Disney World. 2. Miami Beach: Unwind on the well-known sandy shores. 3. Everglades National Park: Fly through this amazing distinctive ecology, and spot the alligators, dolphins, manatee and black bear.  4. See Key West, the southernmost point on the United States mainland (90 miles from Cuba). 5. Universal Pictures Florida: Take in the thrills of Orlando's theme parks. 6. Discover space exploration on the Space Coast at Kennedy Space Center. 7. Naples: Enjoy fine dining and shopping along the Gulf Coast. 8. Tampa Bay Area: Discover parks, museums, and energetic neighborhoods. 9. St. Augustine: Visit the oldest ci

Botswana or Namibia?

Namibia and Botswana each provide distinctive experiences.  While Namibia is home to breathtaking scenery like the Namib Desert and Fish River Canyon, Botswana is renowned for its abundant wildlife in the Okavango Delta. To choose between the two, think about the kind of adventure you're looking for: stunning landscape or wildlife. At ETG we can't comment, because no one in the office (surprisingly) has been to either countries. So, you decide or do both!  Have fun!
