Marrakech, the south and desert
Connect Marrakech with the Atlas, Ait Ben Haddou, Dades Valley and Merzouga, choosing the stops that matter most and a pace the family can maintain.
Tailor-made family travel
Travelling in Morocco with children
A family trip in Morocco works best when the route follows the real pace of adults and children, rather than fitting the family into a fixed circuit.
We plan private, tailor-made itineraries with a vehicle and driver. Stops, vehicle type — car, minivan or 4x4 — room arrangements and any Merzouga night are confirmed for your family and chosen route.
Who is this for?
First visit to Morocco
For families who want to combine cities, landscapes and culture without joining a shared itinerary.
Families who need their own pace
For agreeing breaks and stops within the confirmed route.
Trips with the Sahara as an option
For including Merzouga and a camp night when they fit the family's time and preferences.
An itinerary shaped around family pace
Before suggesting a route, we need the children's ages, arrival and departure cities, available days and priority places. This helps decide how often to change accommodation and where to leave room for rest.
Travel is by private vehicle with a driver. Hotel or riad pickup and airport transfers are available; every service is confirmed in the proposal.
- Alternate road sections and visits without compressing each day.
- Agree stops within the route conditions.
- Keep luggage manageable for accommodation changes.
- Confirm room and dietary needs in advance.
Route ideas by travel style
These are starting points for discussion, not fixed programmes or promises of a set number of stops.
Fes and Merzouga
Link the Fes medina, Middle Atlas, Ziz Valley and Erg Chebbi, with the option to continue towards Marrakech.
Imperial cities and culture
A route focused on medinas, heritage and cities. Keep it cultural or combine it with the south if your days and family pace allow.
City and desert, tailor-made
For families prioritising one city and the Sahara, with start, finish and intermediate stops adapted to the trip.
Merzouga and the Sahara with children
Merzouga can be part of a family trip, but it does not belong in every route. Ibrahim is from Merzouga and his family runs Merzouga Glamping, which gives the project a direct local connection to the area.
When a camp night is confirmed, access may be by camel or 4x4 depending on the camp and itinerary. Discuss the choice beforehand, including ages, preferences and mobility needs. Do not assume one method suits everyone.
Practical family planning
Luggage
Separate what you need each night and tell us about bulky luggage. For camp, confirm how it moves and what to carry separately.
Breaks and pace
Share the children's ages and how the family handles road travel. Breaks are planned within the agreed route.
Rooms
Tell us how many adults and children travel and the arrangement you need. It is checked and confirmed case by case.
Dietary requests
Share allergies, intolerances or preferences with the enquiry. They are passed to providers and confirmed where possible.
Camel, quad and buggy: confirm before choosing
Suitability for camel rides, quads or buggies depends on participants' ages, provider rules and conditions. We do not publish universal age limits or assume an activity suits every child.
Include ages and the activity in the form. We will ask about the applicable conditions before adding it to a proposal; another way to enjoy the setting can be considered if it does not fit.
