Family tours in Morocco

Why we like taking our kids to Morocco so much

Family tours in Morocco is in the northwest of Africa, next to the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. It is a land of mountains and deserts, busy souks and mosques with beautiful tile work. This mix of outdoor activities and learning about other cultures makes the country a great place for families to visit. Get lost in the maze-like medina of Marrakech (walled old city). In a Berber village, cook a meal with a family and drink mint tea with them. Go to the large sand dunes of Erg Chebbi in the Sahara desert to camp out under the stars. Find out about artisan traditions like tanning leather and making carpets.

Morocco’s history and culture are very interesting because they have been shaped by Arab, European, and Berber cultures over the centuries. Arabic and Amazigh (Berber), which has several local dialects, are the two official languages. People say that French is the unofficial third language.

Traveling around Morocco and getting from one place to another can be hard, so it’s best to hire a kid-friendly tour operator to make sure everything goes smoothly. As part of our trip planning service, Marrakech Camel trips ‘s Family Travel Advisor team can put you in touch with guides who have been checked out and more. We asked our favorite travel partner in the area about Morocco family vacations, like where to go, when to go, and what hidden gems to see.

Tips and ideas for taking children to Morocco

Why is Morocco a great place to visit with your family?

Morocco is a great place for families to go for a lot of different reasons. First of all, family life is a big part of Moroccan culture, and Moroccans love kids. Moroccans are very kind to kids and everyone is happy to see them. Second, the place has so many different things to do that there is something for everyone, from fun cultural activities to more adventurous things to do. Lastly, we find that traveling to a country and culture so different from ours in the West can teach families a lot. A trip to Morocco is a great way to learn and an exciting, exotic, and colorful adventure at the same time. Morocco Tours 8 days

Does it work well for all kinds of families? What are the best ages?

Yes, without a doubt! We think that the place is best for families with kids who are at least 7 years old, but it’s also great for teenagers because there’s so much to do.

What makes Morocco a great place for people of all ages to visit?

Morocco is a great place to go for groups of people of all ages because it has something for everyone. Not only is there a lot of history, culture, and variety in the environment, but there are also many traditional accommodations that are stylish and can be set up to fit large families. It helps that it’s sunny, because when people have free time, they can usually just hang out and talk.

How would you plan a trip so that people could get a taste of Morocco’s natural beauty, history, and culture? How many days would it take to see a lot without feeling rushed and at a pace that’s good for kids?

There are two main options, for two types of guests. The first is to focus on a smaller, more concentrated area of land for people who would rather spend less time traveling and more time doing things. Spending time in Marrakech, the High Atlas, and the Agafay Stone Desert would be the best example of this. For this kind of trip, a week would be perfect, with a few days on the coast as an option. The second type of trip is for people who don’t mind taking a few half-day trips to cover a lot of ground and see the best parts of the country. Most people choose this because it lets them see Fez, the Sahara Desert, the gorges and oases of the south, the High Atlas, and Marrakech. For this kind of trip, you should give yourself 10 to 14 days. This is the best way to see the wide range of landscapes and activities that the country has to offer. Casablanca desert tours

Families love camel rides, sandboarding, campfires, and spending the night in the Sahara dunes. Chefchaouen is also very popular now, but there isn’t as much for families to do there. It’s more of a show for the eyes. Because Chefchaouen and the desert are so far apart, it’s best to take a trip with interesting stops along the way.

What are some unique things that families can do to learn more about the culture?

We can set up a lot of great things for people to do in Morocco by using our large network of contacts. Many of these things are not available for people to book on their own. Immersive activities like learning to cook with a local family or riding a mule through the Atlas Mountains and having lunch with a family in a village house are hard to plan without local knowledge. Many of our adventure days are made by us and us alone to take advantage of activities and places that other operators don’t go to. Morocco is an exciting place, and even though there are a lot of vacation options, most of them don’t fit the interests and needs of a family very well. It’s important to work with the right local partner to make sure everything goes smoothly and that guests get the care, attention, and understanding they deserve.

What is the best place in Morocco for kids that not many people know about?

A fortress is hidden in the desert in a place no one knows about. It’s not well known, but you can find it and walk around with the right driver or guide. It’s actually a movie set from the Game of Thrones series. Inside is also the original arena or ring where the fights in the movie Gladiator took place. Few people know about it, but it’s a great place to take kids.

If you want to avoid going backwards, does it make sense to fly into one city and out of another?

There are things to see all over the country, and small, friendly guest houses make it easy to plan your trip. Most flights from the U.S. go to and from Casablanca, which works well for a round trip. It’s not really necessary to fly into one city and out of another. tour del Marocco

What does the weather look like all year? When should you not go?

Only in the middle of summer, when it’s too hot to travel comfortably, should you avoid traveling. If not, any time between September and June is good. During winter, the sun is warm during the day, but it gets cold at night and snow falls on the mountains (which makes it very scenic). May and October are the best months for weather all over the country. In the summer, when many Moroccans go to beach resorts, you should stay away from the coast. Other than that, Morocco is big enough that it never feels too full of tourists. viajes a Marrakech
