Hey there! So you want to show your kids the real Morocco? This is the tour.
We're taking you and your family deep into the Sahara Desert - and trust me, your children will never forget riding camels across those massive sand dunes at sunset. We've done this trip with hundreds of families, and honestly? The kids usually have more fun than the parents.
Here's what makes this perfect for families: we keep the driving comfortable with plenty of stops (because we know kids need to stretch their legs), the desert camp has actual beds and private bathrooms (no roughing it), and everything's included so you're not constantly digging for your wallet.

A local guide walks you through the kasbah explaining how families still live here and pointing out all the movie filming locations. What you'll do: Cross the river on stepping stones (dry season) or a small bridge Explore narrow maze-like alleyways Climb to the top for incredible valley views (it's a bit of a hike but kids 5+ can do it) See traditional Berber houses, grain storage rooms, and ancient doors Take a million photos - this place is STUNNING Parent tip: Bring water bottles.
