Morocco Activity Holidays for Families




Taking your family away on holiday can often be stressful especially if you have boisterous children who need constant attention which is why we recommend a family activity holiday. By choosing a holiday complete with organised daily adventures, whether that's white water rafting or something more sedate like camel rides in the desert, you'll ensure everyone is entertained and your family can share new experiences. We aren't talking about a kid's club though, get involved and take the plunge alongside your children and not will they have more respect for you, you might just enjoy yourself.




So what's our top recommended activity trip? A Morocco holiday. That's right, stay fairly close to home but have a massive adventure on a small budget. Flights to Morocco start from as little as £50 per person if you book early enough and small, group tours from as little as £339 per person. A short flight later and you could be riding camels across the Sahara, hiking in the Todra Gorge, sampling sweet mint tea in the bazaars of Marrakech and mountain biking in the Draa Valley.




An activity holiday in Morocco is ideal for a family new to adventure holidays as it is a laid back, warm destination which welcomes families. All year Morocco enjoys pleasant temperatures, although in summer it gets hot, especially in the desert. Ideally you should visit from March to June so during Easter or May half term, to enjoy good temperatures and have the chance to white water raft in the Ourika Valley. At other times of the year the river is too strong to be safe or it's too cold. Away from the water sports, the Sahara desert is a giant playground all on its own. From sand boarding down massive sand dunes, to camel rides and camping under the stars, the desert is a great place to visit. The resident Bedouin tribes are more than happy to show you their way of life and tell tall tales of their adventures around a campfire and waking up to the still of the desert is unforgettable.




If sand isn't quite your thing then the Draa Valley near Agdz is simply stunning and mountain biking past local villages on dirt roads is great fun and you can choose your pace. For those not wanting to ride you can walk the valley and share tea with the people you meet. This is a calm environment very different to the colourful life of Marrakesh.




Whatever you choose to do on your Morocco holiday, remember there is something new to explore on every corner. North you'll find roman city ruins and to the south beach resorts complete with ageing harbours. Our number one is the activity holiday but if you're more sedate and like to eat and relax then try a week at Essaouira or take meandering walks in the stunning Atlas Mountains.
