North Africa is drastically different in both landscape and topography. While South Africa and the eastern African countries primarily provide holiday destinations revolving around safaris and wildlife excursions, the North African scene is much different. Here you will see the vast desert land of the Sahara, the pyramids of Egypt, visit ancient Carthage, take a trip down the Nile, and visit the coastal areas along the Red Sea and Mediterranean.
North Africa consists of several different countries, although the most prominent tourist destinations are Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, and Libya. Visa regulations vary by nation, as do the rules and regulations on travel restrictions.
Visitors wishing to acquire an Egyptian visa can visit the website at http://egypt.embassyhomepage.com/ for more information on the details regarding what you need to do in order to get a visa to travel to Egypt.
If you are travelling to Morocco as a UK citizen you do not require a visa. You also are not required to provide a return ticket, which is extremely uncommon. Simply show up with your passport and you are good to go.
You also do not need a visa if you are travelling for holiday to Tunisia. A passport and return ticket are all that you need to be admitted into the country.
You are, however required to obtain a tourist visa if you wish to go to Libya.
Duration of stay and intent during your stay can affect your visa, so be honest in your application in order to obtain the proper paperwork for your journey.

Don’t drink ground water as it is untreated. Try and drink bottled water. If its life and death situation then find a fresh and clean looking river as a source
