Travelling in Morocco with kids is easier than many parents expect. In fact, Moroccans love children, and the country is full of activities families enjoy together. Here are our tips, based on many family trips with our drivers.
Best Activities in Morocco with Kids
- A camel ride in the Agafay desert, only one hour from Marrakech.
- Sandboarding in Agafay on gentle slopes.
- The river and Berber village on the Ourika Valley day trip.
- The waterfalls and monkeys on the Ouzoud Waterfalls day trip.
- The port and beach on the Essaouira day trip.
Choose Short Driving Days
To begin with, long drives are the main challenge with children. Therefore, choose tours with shorter days, for example the 5 day Merzouga tour instead of a fast 3 day trip.
The Desert with Children
Meanwhile, kids love the dunes, the camels and the stars. Choose a camp with private bathrooms, and bring warm pyjamas for winter nights.
Food Tips
In general, children enjoy bread, couscous, kefta and fresh orange juice. Also, stick to bottled water.
Health and Safety
Bring sunscreen, hats and a small first-aid kit. Also, check the latest advice from your government, for example the UK travel advice for Morocco.
Private Family Tours
Finally, a private tour lets you stop whenever the kids need a break. See our family tours in Morocco.
