John

Egypt, Jordan, Oman, Morocco & Turkey Specialist

My fascination for travel was sparked in childhood by books about intrepid explorers and their adventures. The desire to witness the places I read about led me to explore some diverse corners of the world. However, it's the Middle East and North Africa that has really captured my attention, particularly Morocco, Egypt, Jordan, Oman and Turkey. I'm particularly attracted to the history, scenery, culture and food. From the Valley of the Kings in Egypt, to the wide open spaces of Wadi Rum in Jordan, to a shared mint tea with a local family in the High Atlas in Morocco, there's always something to explore and enjoy.

Being able to recreate some of the dishes I’ve learnt on my travels is one of the highlights for me so when I’m not traveling, I’m often to be found in the kitchen reliving travel experiences through cookery. I’m always delighted to be able to send people to this part of the world so that they can experience the same as I’ve done.

John, thank you a thousand times over for an awesome trip!

Bryn M. traveled to Japan for 14 days in June 2015, organized by John

All in all, the vacation was amazing. Everything surpassed my wildest expectations, especially the food, and I must say that I was pretty sad to go home. We did everything and more, with not a moment wasted. I am extremely thankful to everyone who helped to make this trip happen, especially our specialist, John. John, thank you a thousand times over for an awesome trip! You're the best! I would definitely recommend Audley Travel for anyone looking to visit Japan — they won't let you down!

I recommend visiting - Wadi Rum, Jordan

There’s nothing quite like a Amazigh welcome in the High Atlas Mountains, delicious and incredibly sweet mint tea, usually with a stunning view.

I recommend staying at - Riad Ilayka, Morocco

Medium

There’s wonderfully homely feel to Riad Ilayka in Marrakesh. When you close the entrance door to the hustle and bustle of the city you can feel the calm descend and it really is a little oasis of calm.

I'll never forget when…

I saw the sun setting on the sand dunes of the Sahara Desert for the first time. After years of reading about the Sahara and seeing it featured in television programes, I still didn’t feel prepared for the immensity and beauty of it.
