Bring the family together for an 11-night adventure through Morocco, a journey full of colour, culture and easy-going discovery. From the buzz of Marrakech to the quiet of the Atlas Mountains, the wide-open dunes of the Sahara and the sea air of Essaouira, this trip is packed with moments everyone will remember. With guided touring, private transfers and family-friendly accommodation, everything is arranged so you can focus on enjoying time together.
Your adventure begins in Marrakech, a city that feels alive from the moment you arrive. Spend your first evening in Djemaa el-Fnaa, where street stalls sizzle with food and music fills the square. Children will love the performers, drummers and storytellers, while parents can soak up the atmosphere over dinner at one of the local stalls and explore the markets (souks).
Take the train north to Fes, a city where every lane seems to lead to something new. On a guided tour of the old medina, watch potters, weavers and tanners at work. Everyone can get involved in a pottery class with a local craftsman, a fun, hands-on way to learn about Moroccan art and take home a family-made souvenir.
Travel through the Middle Atlas Mountains, passing forests, orchards and small villages. Stop in Midelt for an overnight stay and an easy walk through a nearby Berber village. It’s a quieter day with space to relax, enjoy the views and see how mountain life moves at its own pace.
Continue south toward the Sahara and the towering dunes of Erg Chebbi, witnessing the endless sands of the world’s largest hot desert. Your camp awaits, with dinner under the stars and traditional stories shared by lantern light before you retire to your private desert tent for the night.
After sunrise, drive through Ouarzazate to Ait Benhaddou, a sand-coloured fortress that once protected desert traders. Walk through its maze of mud-brick streets and learn about life here from your local guide. Later, enjoy a relaxed art session with a local painter using natural colours made from tea and saffron
Head into the High Atlas Mountains. The kids can ride mules while adults walk beside them on the trail into Imlil. Stay in a family-run guesthouse surrounded by walnut trees and mountain views. Dinner is freshly prepared, and in the morning you’ll watch bread being baked in a traditional clay oven.
End your trip on the Atlantic coast in Essaouira, a calm and walkable seaside town. Take a guided stroll through the medina and visit the harbour where fishing boats return with the morning catch. Spend the rest of the day exploring at your own pace, maybe the beach for sandcastles, the markets for souvenirs or a seafood lunch by the water.
