Morocco family tours

• Split the driving. Some tour days involve many hours on the road, like the one from the desert to Marrakech. With young children, we can split them by adding a night on the way.
• Stops when you need them. Toilet breaks, snacks, a run around: there’s no group waiting.
• Flexible timings. Leave later after a short night, or head back to the hotel early after a visit.
• The same vehicle throughout. Suitcases, backpacks and toys stay with you for the whole trip.

Tell us on WhatsApp how many of you there are and how old the children are, and we’ll plan the trip with you.

• Ride a camel. On tours that overnight in Merzouga, you reach the camp by camel. For more in the dunes (camel, 4x4 or quad), see Merzouga 4x4.
• Meet the monkeys. Barbary macaques live in the cedar forest near Azrou, in the Middle Atlas, on the road from Fes to the desert.
• The Atlas Mountains. The river and Berber villages of the Ourika Valley or the Ouzoud waterfalls, as day trips from Marrakech.
• The beach at Essaouira. A long beach next to the walled medina, the fishing port and the cannons on the ramparts: as a day trip from Marrakech or with a night there on tours along the coast.
• The film studios in Ouarzazate and the Ait Ben Haddou kasbah, where films like Gladiator were shot.

Spring and autumn are the best seasons, with mild temperatures in the cities and the south: Easter and October half-term both fit well. July and August are very hot inland and in the desert, so favour the north and the coast. Over Christmas, expect sunny days and cold nights.
