Best 9-Day Morocco Family Tour & Itinerary 2026
Families get a nine-day route built around hands-on stops as well as Morocco's history. You'll make a drum in Fez with a master artisan, cook a tagine together, and look for wild Barbary macaques in the cedar forests of Ifrane. Younger travellers stay involved without the days becoming a city checklist.
After a family-friendly introduction to the Hassan II Mosque, you'll continue to Rabat's royal and historic sites, then Meknes and the Roman ruins of Volubilis. Children can imagine daily life 2,000 years ago among the mosaics and columns. A stop in Ifrane National Park brings the chance to spot wild Barbary macaques in the cedar forests, though sightings cannot be guaranteed.
In Fez, a drum-making workshop with a master artisan gives the whole family a souvenir and a look at traditional craft, alongside exploring the medina's narrow lanes. A family cooking class teaches you to bake traditional Moroccan bread and prepare a tagine. You'll finish in Marrakech with the fire-eaters and street performers of Jemaa el-Fna square, after a cultural stop with a local Berber family for mint tea on the journey south.
Location
Ifrane's cedar forests sit between the Atlantic coast and the imperial cities of Meknes, Fez and Marrakech. The route gives families a wide-ranging but manageable introduction to the country.
Accommodation is in family-friendly riads and hotels chosen to suit groups travelling with children. Private transport keeps the family together between stops.
Prerequisites
- Fitness level: No specific level required.
- Pace: Kept manageable for families with children of various ages.
- Walking: Some walking through medinas and at Volubilis is involved.
- Dress code: Modest clothing is appreciated at religious and cultural sites.
- Wildlife: Barbary macaque sightings cannot be guaranteed.
- Travel: Private transport keeps the family together between stops.
Why choose us
We'll look after the logistics from our Marrakech base, using local knowledge to keep family days practical.

We arrange private transport, family-friendly stays, daily breakfast and dinner, the workshops, and entrance fees, from airport reception in Casablanca to your final drop-off in Marrakech.
Hands-on workshops sit at the centre of this itinerary rather than being added onto a standard adult tour. You'll have a drum-making class in Fez, a tagine and bread cooking lesson, time looking for Barbary macaques in Ifrane, and a Berber family visit on the way to Marrakech.
