Conseils de voyage

Morocco can be a rewarding family destination with the right pace and a private, flexible itinerary.

Morocco with Kids: A Family Travel Guide

Best Family-Friendly Activities

  • Camel rides in the Agafay or Sahara desert
  • Ourika Valley waterfalls and easy walks
  • Marrakech's Jemaa el-Fnaa square (evening entertainers)
  • Hot air balloon rides for older kids

Tips for Traveling with Kids

A private driver-guide gives far more flexibility than group tours for nap schedules and shorter attention spans; pack layers for cold desert nights.

What to Skip

Very long desert drives can be tough on young children — consider Agafay or a shorter Zagora route instead of the full Merzouga trip with very young kids.
