Morocco Family Tours
A private trip built for families: your own driver, family rooms, short driving days, camel rides in the Sahara and time to rest at the pool.
Traveling Morocco with children is easy when you have your own vehicle and driver. We split long drives with breaks, choose riads and hotels with family rooms or pools, and add the activities kids love: camel rides in the dunes, a night in a desert camp, sandboarding, Berber villages in the Atlas and the beach at Essaouira.

Practical tips for Morocco with children
- Plan a break every 2 hours on long drives: the driver stops whenever you ask.
- Desert nights are cold from October to April, even when days are warm: pack a fleece and a hat.
- Medina streets are narrow and busy: a baby carrier works better than a stroller in Fes and Marrakech.
- Summer afternoons are very hot inland: we start early and rest in the middle of the day.
- For a calmer beach day, the Oualidia lagoon and Essaouira are easier with small children than the open Atlantic beaches.
