Trip Informations
Why you’ll love this trip

Sip sweet mint tea in rural villages, see goats climbing trees in the desert and tap your foot to traditional Amazigh musicians in Marrakech – Morocco is a real treat for the senses!
verified
Adventure into the Atlas Mountains and stay with a local family for an insight into traditional Moroccan life.
verified
With French, Portuguese and Jewish influences, Essaouira is about as exotic as it gets. Feast on freshly caught seafood, explore unique art galleries and be dazzled by a blue-specked townscape.

Witness the magnificent rolling waves of the Atlantic Ocean from the back of a camel.
Is this trip right for you?
verified
A camel trek along the Atlantic Ocean (Day 5) is a highlight of the trip for many travellers. But if you'd rather not ride a camel, you can always walk alongside the camels instead. It's a gentle, relaxing walk of about an hour each way.
verified
The walk to the homestay in the High Atlas Mountains can be hard in some places. Please talk to your leader if you would like to opt to travel on the back of a mule for this portion of the trip.
verified
Summer temperatures in Morocco can get very hot. If you're travelling in the warmer months, be sure to wear layers, use sun protection and drink plenty of water. Nights can get quite cold, so warm clothes are essential.
verified
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, please take this into consideration if you or your child suffer from motion sickness.

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.

An excellent experience for our family of four, with two kids ages 5 and 10. A good mix of history, culture, diverse geography, and experiences. The pace of the trip was good, and the range of experiences excited the kids. Our group leader, Youssef Ezziti, was well organized, communicative. and helpful when we needed assistance. Thoughtfully planned family trip.

I’ve done many Intrepid trips but this was my first Family Adventure. It was excellent. The itinerary is well suited to children, in terms of accommodation, activities, pace, and route. Our tour guide, Youssef Ezziti, was excellent….knowledgeable, sensitive to the interests and needs of children and a great ambassador for Morocco.

The family tour of Morocco was a superb way of travelling with children around Morocco. We visited snow capped mountains in the High Atlas and rode camels along the beach in Essaourira. The children loved tasting different foods and dancing to the entrancing Gnaoua music. It was a trip that made everlasting memories.
