Day-by-day travel diaries and photographic diaries of geology tours run by GeoWorld Travel
In January 2025, we ran our “Ocean Crust & Mountains of Mantle” trip in Oman for the seventh time. Our group were treated to an itinerary which included snowball earth deposits, mega sheath folds, ophiolite, moho and much, much more. As well as enjoying the world-class geology, we also experience warm Omani hospitality, making this a trip to remember!
We returned to Morocco for an eighth time in November 2023 and took another journey across the High Atlas, viewing many fascinating sites on the way. From trilobites to mineral mines and from dinosaur bones to stromatolites, we saw it all! This blog includes our favourite photos from this year’s trip.
Our first tour of 2024 took us back to Oman. Our group enjoyed an awe-inspiring adventure through the country’s best geological sites. From ophiolite to sheath folds and from pillow basalts to the Moho, the journey was rich with geological wonders. A fantastic time was had by all!
Forty of our favourite photos from our 2023 trip to Oman. This wonderful country truly is a geologists’ paradise and we visited a whole range of sites on this trip.
In November 2022, we took a group of intrepid travellers on our “Trilobite’s Sahara Kingdom” geological tour of Morocco. Our 10-day trip across the Atlas mountains to the Sahara Desert was not only a trilobite extravaganza but also took in a dinosaur discovery site, mineral mines and various historic sites. This is a summary and selection of the best photos from the trip.

In March 2020 we returned to Oman, once again, to visit the country’s geological gems. Focusing primarily on the north of the country, the tour was led by GeoWorld Travel’s Director, James Cresswell, with support from local company, Golden Highlands.
This is the blog of our ‘Morocco: The Trilobite’s Sahara Kingdom’ tour, which we completed in mid-November 2019. Morocco is an exceptional geological destination, as the desert conditions create large areas of rock exposure where fossils occur in abundance. It is world-famous for its trilobite and dinosaur fauna.
In February 2019 we completed our first ever geological tour of Oman. The tour was led by GeoWorld Travel’s Director, James Cresswell, and supported by local company, Golden Highlands. The 9-day tour was a great success and visited geological highlights in the north of the country.
In March 2019, we completed our first ever geological tour of Namibia. The tour was led by German/Namibian geologist Nicole Grünert, and co-led by GeoWorld Travel’s Director, James Cresswell. The 15-day tour was a great success and visited the geological highlights in the north of the country.
