Go on a Camel Ride.

Camel rides are an exciting way to see the sights of Morocco. You will find them in cities, Sahara Deserts, and towns across the country. A typical trip lasts between 30 minutes and two hours. Riders sit on the top of the camels while they take you to your destination. It is a fun activity for kids and adults alike.

Sandboarding in the Sahara Desert.

Sandboarding activity in Merzouga is another way to explore the dunes. Whether you have tried snowboarding, or skiing before, or even if you are a beginner, don't miss out on this fun activity when you are in the Sahara desert. Choose your dune and enjoy sliding down on your boards! 

Book a Culinary Experience.

Food Tours and Cooking Classes let your kids engage through tasting new foods, interacting with the locals, and learning new stories. Participating in a cooking class gives you and your kids the chance to make bread, assist with the main dish together, and eat the fruit of your work!

Include an Adventurous Activity.

If your kids are into Zip lining, Quad Biking, Dune Buggies, Side Cars, or other adventurous activities. Morocco is the land of adventurous experiences that fit all family levels.

Participate in one of the Hands-on Workshops.

Kids love, enjoy hands-on workshops, and creating something from scratch. Don't miss out on a drum-making workshop where your kids learn how to make their drums and paint them with the help of a local artisan. Or a Pottery Workshop where the artisan guides you and your kids to make pottery and create your work of art such as a small tagine, a mug, bowl, ashtray, vase…etc.
