Morocco with kids
Guides & tips for travelling in Morocco
Morocco is a wonderful family destination: a sense of escape, nature, beaches, and Moroccans who adore children. Here's what to do and how to travel serenely.
Activities kids love
- Agafay Desert: camels, dinner under the stars, 45 min from Marrakech.
- Ouzoud Waterfalls: boat ride, free-roaming monkeys.
- Ourika Valley: river, swimming, villages.
- Coast (Essaouira, Agadir): beaches, camel/horse rides.
- Azrou monkeys (from Fes), Crocoparc (Agadir).
Family-smart habits
- Pace: don't overload; alternate discovery and downtime.
- Heat: early summer starts, water, hats; avoid the desert in peak heat.
- Meals: tagines/skewers/fries please; washed fruit, bottled water.
- Medinas: hold little ones' hands (crowds, scooters).
Getting around stress-free with kids
This is THE key point. A private driver changes everything for families:
- Child seats on request.
- Spacious van (stroller, luggage).
- Door to door: no taxis to haggle with tired children.
- Airport welcome sign + 1 free hour if delayed.
- Fixed price confirmed in advance, adviser reachable 24/7.
A family itinerary (idea)
