Trip Informations
Why you’ll love this trip
Watch the sunset from the unique perspective of a camel’s back, then spend an evening camping in the Sahara, surrounded by red dunes under thousands of stars.
Explore the famous cities of Fes and Marrakech during guided tours where your local leader will give you a unique insight into the area – then, enjoy plenty of free time as a family to explore.
Adventure into the Atlas Mountains and stay with a traditional Amazigh family for an insight into authentic Moroccan life and culture and a homecooked meal of local favourites.
Lead the kids through the mystical alleyways of medieval Ait Benhaddou – can you spot which movies were filmed here?
Take part in a pottery class from a local craftsman in Fes’ bustling medina and get your hands dirty as you make your own clay ceramic, all the while supporting the local artisans.
Is this trip right for you?
The weather in Morocco can be extreme. Summer temperatures can be uncomfortably hot, especially for those who aren't accustomed to the heat, so please consider what time of year you travel carefully. If you do travel in the warmer months, pack layers to cover you from the sun, bring the necessary sun protection and drink plenty of water.
On Day 6, the group will take a camel trek through the Sahara. You will set off from your camp on the edge of a desert and loop back. This is a great way to experience the desert, but if you'd prefer, it's possible to walk alongside the caravan on the sand for about an hour. The walk is not very demanding, so a basic level of fitness is fine.
There are some long travelling days on this trip as we cover a great deal of land. The road to the High Atlas Mountains is very windy, so please take this into consideration if you or your child suffers from motion sickness.

5. While Wi-Fi is available in our hotels it is important to note that wi-fi works best in the hotel foyer and will be very slow in the rooms. An easier option may be to purchase a SIM card in Morocco to stay connected.
6. Ramadan is an exciting time to travel through Morocco but there are also a few things to bear in mind. Meal times will be a lot later than you may be used to, in particular dinner. You will find restaurants will open at 7–7.30 pm in the evening for dinner. Which will mean your family may not be eating dinner until 8–8.30 pm. Likewise breakfast may not start until 7 am. As you travel through the countryside there will be limited small road side cafes to stop at. Your leader will pre-plan where to stop to ensure families have access to snacks and bathroom stops along the way. Morocco is a Muslim country therefore alcohol is not readily available, particularly during Ramadan.

The family trip to Morocco has been absolutely fantastic! My daughter especially enjoyed the journey, from pottery sessions to camel rides. Although the August heat can be extreme, we managed quite well and found plenty of opportunities to cool down. This adventure offers a genuine taste of Morocco for those eager to experience its unique thrills. Our guide, Saber, was remarkably patient and supportive, always explaining things thoroughly. He consistently provided us with options and sought our preferences, maintaining a professional and cheerful attitude, even when faced with difficult situations within our group. I highly recommend this trip with Intrepid and Saber as a guide. this trip has long hours of travel so please take this into consideration when you book it.

Our Morocco trip was more than everything we’d hoped for: Adventure, wonder, learning, fun, connection. I took this trip with my 13 year-old son. We both had an amazing time. Hamza, our guide was excellent— kind, wise, flexible, organized. His talent and heart gave the trio an added sweetness that made our time in Morocco unforgettable and extraordinary.

We had a wonderful time our Best of Morocco trip! This is a great way to see the country but also meet new people and make new friends. It was a bit of a whirlwind- that is the price you pay to see so much in a short time! Highly recommended though!

Trip of a lifetime. We loved every day of this tour. The places we visited were spot on. The knowledge from our guide Mo was exceptional and we learnt so much about Moroccan culture. Mo treated us as family and he was so great with our daughter Addison. Nothing was ever too much trouble. Our family has done a few intrepid tours and Mo would have to be one of the best. Hard to choose our favourite part of the trip as all of it was so good. Activities included for kids was awesome and our daughter loved everyone of them. Fes Medina, Sahara desert and Atlas Mountains stay were top of the list.

We would highly recommend this trip to those who want to get a feel for Morocco in a reasonably short time. We are normally fairly independent travelers but we were attracted to this itinerary for all of its (very well organized) activities. Our 10 and 8 year olds really loved doing pottery, making mosaics, riding camels and donkeys, baking bread and meeting local families. Mo, our guide, always went above and beyond and really made this trip a 10/10 for us.

Wow we saw so much and such variety. Our guide was fantastic and whilst there were long travelling days we had the full flavour of the diversity of Morocco. There are definitely areas we’d like to come back to and spend more time.
