About this trip
Five days built for families, taking you from Marrakech out to the dunes of Merzouga, with enough activity to keep kids and teenagers engaged along the way.
Expect a mix of city sights and desert adventure, camel treks, sandboarding and a night camping under the stars, alongside chances to try local food and pick up some of the history and traditions of the country.
Guides handle the logistics throughout, so the days are structured but the focus stays on shared family experiences rather than ticking off a checklist.
What you'll do
- Ride camels into the Merzouga desert
- Try sandboarding on the dunes
- Camp overnight in the desert
- Explore the streets and sights of Marrakech
- Sample local Moroccan food along the way
- Moderate pace with a mix of city and desert days, suited to families with kids or teenagers
- Partially guided, so some days follow a set plan while others leave room to explore
Worth it if you want a genuinely well-paced family desert tour with standout guides who feel like friends. Think twice if you need flexibility—the itinerary seems fixed rather than customizable.
- Guides (Mouhssine, Mohammed, Youssef, Hassan) consistently praised as knowledgeable, friendly, feeling like friends by trip's end.
- Desert camps have air conditioning and pools; hotels throughout are clean with pools. Even August heat manageable according to families.
- Activities genuinely diverse: camel rides, quad biking, hot air balloon over Marrakech, mountain climbing, hikes to authentic villages.
- One review mentions customization to your needs; others describe a fixed itinerary. Clarify flexibility before booking if you need it.
