Take the whole family on an action-packed tour of Morocco
Imagine a country with the charisma of Europe, the passion of Africa and the charm of the Middle East. A place where ancient cultures are intertwined with dramatic landscapes and time-worn medinas give a glimpse into imperial cities of the past. Now, the whole family can fall under Morocco’s spell on an action-packed adventure from magical Marrakech to the old pirate port of Essaouira, covering everything from camel-clad deserts to pristine beaches along the way. So whether it’s in spice-infused back alleys, among crumbling Roman ruins or below the snow-capped Atlas Mountains – the allure of Morocco will prove impossible to ignore.
Morocco is a real feast for the senses. Sip sweet mint tea in rural villages, see goats climbing trees in the desert, and tap your foot to traditional Berber musicians in Marrakech
Adventure into the Atlas Mountains and visit the Taroudant Tannery for an insight into traditional Moroccan leather production
With French, Portugese and Jewish influences, Essaouira is about as exotic as it gets. Feast on fresh-caught seafood, explore unique art galleries and be dazzled by a blue-specked townscape
Witness the magnificent rolling waves of the Atlantic ocean from the back of a camel
From Sidi Kaouki to Agadir, the Northern Atlantic coast offers many chances for quality beachside time with the family
A camel trek along the Atlantic Ocean (Day 5) is a highlight of the trip for many travellers. But if you'd rather not ride a camel, you can always walk alongside the camels instead. It's a gentle, relaxing walk of about an hour each way.
Summer temperatures in Morocco can get very hot. If you're travelling in the warmer months, be sure to wear layers, use sun protection and drink plenty of water. Nights can get quite cold, so warm clothes are essential.

Ramadan
Ramadan is an exciting time to travel through Morocco but there are also a few things to bear in mind.
Meal times will be a lot later than you may be used to, in particular dinner. You will find restaurants will open at 7-7:30pm in the evening for dinner. Which will mean your family may not be eating dinner until 8-8:30pm. Likewise breakfast may not start until 7am.
As you travel through the countryside there will be limited small road side cafes to stop at. Your leader will pre-plan where to stop to ensure families have access to snacks and bathroom stops along the way.
Alcohol - Morocco is a Muslim country therefore alcohol is not readily available, particularly during Ramadan.
Wifi
While wifi is available in our hotels it is important to note that wifi works best in the hotel foyer and will be very slow in the rooms. An easier option may be to purchase a sim card in country to stay connected.

This was our first Intrepid tour so we didn't really know what to expect. Here is what we found! Included and optional experiences were great. Our guide arranged experiences with locals that felt good and friendly. The transport van was very nice. Accommodations were very basic/rustic in the countryside and better in bigger cities. Overall they were good. if you require 4 and 5 star lodging this might not be your tour. Our guide Ahmed was great. Friendly, very knowledgeable and cared that we had a good experience. Spending time in Morocco was interesting, eye opening and definitely stimulating. The country itself is a bit challenging for westerners. Hot, smelly and smoggy and a bit in your face. However, the people and countryside and seaside were throughout amazing. Our family would recommend this tour.

We loved this trip! Great opportunity to see a range of Morocco's scenery, learn about the culture and interact with the local people. Hicham, our guide was great with the kids and very conscientious. Our kids really enjoyed both the activities on the trip and hanging-out with the other families.
