Here's Kirstie and Phil's itinerary:
Featured budget accomodation in Morocco:
Mamouchthka (website in French)
Alternative budget hotel in Morocco:
This British-owned hotel in the Atlas mountains has rapidly become a part of the local community. By charging a 5% surcharge on customers' bills, the hotel has helped to fund two ambulances, a new school for girls and a hammam for the local community. For travellers, the hotel is in the heart of the Atlas Mountains, and the hotel has a hiking lodge in the next valley, for those who want adventure and comfort combined.
Alternative budget hotel in Iceland:
Even if you don't have a lot of cash to splash, this hotel will give you a cheap base to try and see the Northern Lights. An apartment hotel is a great option if you're travelling as a group.
Featured budget activities in Morocco:
Quad biking at Mamouchthka
Tubing by Morocco Adventure Tours
Alternative budget activity in Morocco:
A surf board is possibly the only form of transport Kirstie and Phil don't try during the series. However, Morocco's Atlantic coast is a great chance to find some waves, and numerous operators can provide lessons, kit and a variety of accommodation options.
Featured luxury accommodation in Iceland:
Alternative luxury hotels in Iceland:
