Close to home but a world away, Morocco is an alluring country for travellers of all ages and the ideal destination for a family adventure holiday. This established family adventure begins in the 'Arabian Nights' city of Marrakech, with its maze-like souks and world-famous main square, the Djemaa El Fna, a focus each evening for acrobats, musicians and story-tellers. Then, from Oukaimeden on the edge of the snow-capped Atlas Mountains, we walk for 3 days through the homeland of the welcoming Berber people. Including leisurely lunches beneath shading walnut trees, this easy walk offers plenty of opportunity for the families to meet the local people and their families. Near our comfortable gite in the village of Ait Souka, there are spectacular views of Mount Toubkal (4167m), the highest peak in North Africa. Leaving the Atlas mountains behind, we drive westwards to the ancient fortified port of Essaouira. Spending 2 nights in a comfortable and characterful 'medina' hotel, we can explore the bustling harbour with its open-air fish restaurants, take camel rides along the endless Atlantic beaches or watch the kite surfers and wind surfers enjoying the waves. Morocco is an easy to get to destination for a family holiday with a real cultural twist!
Is this holiday for you?
This holiday has been designed for families with children of 5 years and over. This is one of the most accessible of our family adventure holidays in a very different country, with relatively short flights and just 3 days of easy walking (tired youngsters can ride mules for parts of this short walk). We can camel ride on the beach at Essaouira and generally relax here. Offering a taste of mountain, sea and exotic Marrakech, this holiday is an excellent choice for a first time family adventure.
