Tours to Morocco with children

We do tours specially adapted for family travel to Morocco.

Can you travel to Morocco with children?


Not only you can, but it is absolutely recommended to travel to Morocco with children. In fact, more and more families choose to travel to Morocco on their vacations. First of all, let's see why:

The value of family in Morocco


The family. Fundamental piece of Moroccan culture. Fabric and network that sustains life.

In Morocco, large families were the key to securing a future. The children grew up and helped the elderly parents, when there was no strength to continue working. Even in the generation born in the seventies, which has seen so many changes, grandparents, parents, uncles and grandchildren, three generations together, lived under one roof. This still occurs, although less and less. Tradition makes the sons, and the family they have formed, take care of his parents, and seven, eight or more siblings was normal until recently and still persists in the rural world, which requires more physical effort.

Berber matriarchal culture


Who did not see musm of soccer players of the Moroccan national team in the Qatar 2022 World Cup? The players of the Atlas Lions, as the team - inspired by the strength of this iconic animal in Morocco- is nicknamed, proliferated in the celebrations and expressions of affection towards their mothers. The mother, the most important figure. And not only respect for women is important among Moroccans, the Berber culture was traditionally matriarchal, with queens and warriors being the main figures of their civilization throughout the centuries before the Arab invasion.


So, is it safe to travel to Morocco with children?


The country is safe and close, and the trip to Morocco with children is a type of trip that, without being very demanding for them, mixes different types of experiences that make the little ones in the family enjoy a lot.

Don't worry about the food, apart from taking care of allergies and intolerances, there is always a variety so that they can try new flavors but return to chicken with potatoes if necessary.

You don't have to worry about accommodations with children either. We stay in riads, which are traditional Moroccan houses legally adapted as hotels, whose few rooms are distributed around a central courtyard. It is the most common and authentic way to stay in Morocco. Whether they are of a level equivalent to 3-4*, or simpler, they are always safe and with a high level of service and cleanliness. In addition, most of them have family rooms, so the quadruple rooms available are the best option for your peace of mind and that the little ones feel like at home.

Of course, the desert camps also have a family or quadruple tent that will make the experience of sleeping in the desert the most special night.

Regarding safety on the road, our fleet of 4x4 vehicles and minivans like new, are equipped with child seats or booster seats according to age, although in Morocco there is no obligation to wear them at the moment.

Benefits of traveling to Morocco for children


Apart from enjoying a family adventure and disconnecting, it is that your children open their minds to other cultures, and see that there are other worlds besides theirs. In addition to the cultural differences, they can observe how the simpler life develops in the rural environment and the desert, and in the cities of Morocco.

Open air, fun, a different environment and learning everywhere without getting bored.

And for you, the parents, the opportunity to focus on enjoying yourself with the little ones, delegating that part of the trip and logistical concerns, which make you lose focus on what is truly important. And rest too.

Which is the best trip for children in Morocco?


Morocco offers such a diversity of perceptions, combining a bit of cultural learning, nature, space for play and discovery, that any trip is ideal for families.

But, if you are in the dichotomy of considering a short trip to get to know the city and an excursion around the surroundings or to the Atlas Mountains, or the typical one-week trip to spend a couple of days in the desert of Merzouga, although both options are good, we believe that it is worth it for the children to travel to the desert if you have the opportunity.

Thus, any of our trips that includes the desert in its journey will be the star of the trip and the incentive to discover it for your children. Get ready for the "is it far to the desert?". In addition, the routes are part of the experience "in crescendo" until its culmination in the ride on dromedaries through the dunes.

As an alternative to do a route from Marrakech to the desert, we also suggest the route of Berber villages through the Atlas Mountains that can only be done in summer, and that we have done with some families other years to enjoy nature. And since its people are often isolated by snow in winter, if you want you can do a collection with the children to donate used clothing for children or adults, or things for school and maybe even a toy that fits in their suitcases.

We adapt our tours to Morocco to children


As a mother or father, when choosing a trip, you want to know if your children will enjoy the trip or not, and if the special needs of the children are taken into account.

We take that into account. We can relax the plan as much as you want, so that there are less km per day, include the activities you want, or dedicate the mornings to the pool, walking to visit the surroundings, and do some driving in the afternoon as an alternative.

  • Our driver guides speak your language, so children are not left out of conversations and can ask them anything they want.
  • Our local guides adapt the cultural visits and the language used to make them enjoyable for children, shortening times if necessary depending on their age.
  • We shorten the itineraries, so that the routes are alternate with visits, the children have time to play and they have as much or more fun than you.
  • Our tours are private, this is just for you and your family, being the stops, the rhythm and the activities to suit you, an important thing with children on a road trip.
  • If it's summer, most of the accommodations you stay in have a swimming pool, so that during afternoons or mornings you can have that refreshing moment of fun.

Activities for children and other incentives for a trip to Morocco with children:


In addition to the pool, some activities such as the camel ride are especially suitable for them. If they are very small, don't worry, they can ride on your lap to feel more secure. You can hire a short walk, or the walk through the dunes, lasts just over an hour and takes you to the camp, with a stop to enjoy the sunset in the desert.

On the way between Fez and the desert, we stop to see the wild monkeys, barbary macaques, in the cedar forest of Azrou.

In desert activities or around Marrakech, you can ride quads or buggy to explore the area and head into the dunes for just the right amount of adventure.

Learn to play the drums in the desert. Trying the different rhythms that can be made with your hands and dancing around the fire at night in the desert will surely enchant you.

Two attractions that may interest children on desert trips from Marrakech are: the visit to the Ouarzazate film studios, where they can see the movie sets from inside. And a visit to the interesting fossil museum between Erfoud and Rissani, which preserves some dinosaur remains among other highly valuable fossils, or even looking themselves for some orthocera in Erfoud quarries.

Don't forget there is always time to play soccer with the children we meet along the way.

Finally, on a trip to Morocco with time, we can see the option of participating in a ceramics class, for example.

And still, ask us for ideas to keep children interested during the trip, or hire an application to visit Marrakech as if it were a gymkhana.
