Overview

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.

The Main Square - Jemaa El-fnaa
We pick you up from your hotel and head to Jemaa el-Fnaa Square if you want to grab coffee or last-minute snacks. Then we're off toward the Atlas Mountains - you can literally see them from Marrakech! The kids will love watching the city disappear as we climb higher into the mountains.
High Atlas
This is where it gets exciting. The road winds up through traditional Berber villages that look like they're glued to the mountainside. Your kids will be glued to the windows spotting: → Goats climbing on cliffs → Waterfalls cascading down → Mud-brick houses with flat roofs → Vendors selling fresh walnuts and honey
Ait Ben Haddou
Okay, THIS is the big stop for Day 1. Ait Ben Haddou is an ancient fortified village - basically a massive mud castle that's been here for centuries. And it's famous. Movies filmed here: Kingdom of Heaven Lawrence of Arabia Gladiator Game of Thrones (the slave city scenes) The Mummy And like 20 more Kids recognize it even if they don't realize it. 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. It gets hot climbing to the top, but the panoramic view is absolutely worth it. Let kids explore at their own pace - there's cool stuff around every corner.
Ouarzazate
Quick stop in Ouarzazate for lunch at a family-friendly restaurant (not included - you choose what you want). We'll recommend spots with clean bathrooms and kid menus.

5.00I was recommenced Hamid from Morocco Travel Expert by a moroccan friend. So I decided to book a 4 day trip to the desert with him for me, my friend and his parents. And we weren't disappointed. Hamid organized everything perfectly : the accommodations were great, the car was comfy for the older parents, the activities and visits were wonderful. And on top of all, Hamid made us smile all the time with his good mood. If you are looking for a unique experience in the desert, don't hesitate and contact him!

5.00An incredible road trip through the snowy Atlas, overnighting in the Valley des Figues, crossing the Gorges of Todra, arriving in Mezourga and enjoying a dromedary ride with Fatima, of course, my favorite mount 😉😉😉. Farewell the year in a camp at the desert gates, tucked into drums and dances in the heat of a bonfire, sunrise in the desert, arrive at an oasis in Fint and discover the total peace and beauty of those lands. Beauty that extends beyond the landscape, all the people who have accompanied us on this adventure are a real wonder, from Maria Garcia who prepared us the trip, attentive to any doubts or suggestions, Karim, our guide, the best in Morocco 🙃🙃, with a child soul that fills you inside, very gentle, pillory and fun, you have made us fall in love with everything around us, Hamid, his brother, an excellent person, Ishmael, the owner of the Riad of Marrakesh, always attentive to what we needed. I take from this adventure the hospitality and warmth of its people, as much or more beautiful than the landscapes that surround them. We take you in the heart, Moroccan brothers 😘😘
Superb trip

5.004 friends travelled from Valencia to Marrakech to spend New Year's Eve in the merzouga desert. Excited, nervous but with full confidence in Maria Garcia who had organized everything with Morocco Memorable Tours. The experience was MAGNIFICENT and, both Mary and Karim and Hamid, and Ishmael of the Riad 103 of Marrakech, behaved not only as authentic and exemplary professionals but as Friends. They looked after us and treated us great, as well as being very friendly and fun. Definitely more than 100% recommended. Thank you to all of them for making this adventure a real luxury.
Total experience, it is a Tour worth doing and if you also do it with this agency and guides, amazing!
