Family Holidays

Morocco is a wonderful country for a family holiday. It is culturally fascinating, has lots of things to do, a fantastic choice of locations and a great climate, and is only a short flight away from Europe.

We can tailor your Moroccan family holiday for any month of the year, meeting a wide range of budgets, age ranges and interests, thanks to our experience, unique programmes and flexibility. (see Reviews)

Inspire your family with:

• genuine Moroccan hospitality - Moroccans love children
• a tremendous range of environments - desert, mountains, coast and historic towns
• exciting activities including camel treks, whitewater rafting, surfing and short hill treks
• fascinating countryside - exotic crops and unusual wildlife such as tree-climbing goats and wild tortoises and
• a unique (and educational) insight into Islamic and Berber ways of life.

Where to Go

Whilst there are options throughout the country, we note below a selection of locations as examples of the family friendly trips.  Trips, locations and durations, can be arranged to meet your individual requirements.

Essaouira

A walled town on the Atlantic with a pretty fishing harbour and fortified ramparts to be explored. The huge sandy beach has a children's play area and several water sports on offer, and there is horse and camel riding available nearby - see Essaouira for Families.

 

Taroudant

An excellent place to go for a wide range of cultural activities in a family environment. Adorn yourself with henna tattoos, go to a local hammam, learn to cook or to speak some Arabic, ride donkeys, visit Berber villages or much more - see Taroudant for Families.

 

High Atlas

Ouirgane - a Berber village in the High Atlas Mountains, which is a stunning place for short treks with mules and to see the local plants and animals.  A number of kasbah style inns in the area have swimming pools - see Ouirgane for Families.

 

Marrakech

The most convenient gateway into Morocco for many, with a maze of covered markets, a huge range of accommodation choices, beautiful gardens, historic sights and a water park - see Marrakech for Families.

Travel Times

Travel times between locations can often be underestimated so use our journey times map to help plan your itinerary.

For example the journey between locations by taxi or MPV vary from a relatively straight, flat road from Marrakech to Essaouira (2.5 hours), to mountain routes through the High Atlas starting a short drive (1 hour) from Marrakech, to an exciting coastal mountain edge route from Taroudant to Essaouira (4 hours).
