When it comes to creating unforgettable memories, few experiences rival a family adventure — and Morocco offers the ideal mix of culture, nature, and excitement for all ages. While some might hesitate at the thought of traveling to North Africa during the warmer months, summer is actually one of the best seasons to explore Morocco as a family. Here’s why.
1. Diverse Landscapes to Escape the Heat
Yes, Morocco can get hot in the summer — but its geography offers a range of climates to suit every traveler. While cities like Marrakech and Fès may feel warm during the day, the Atlas Mountains provide cool escapes with fresh air and stunning views. Meanwhile, the Atlantic coast — from Essaouira to Agadir — enjoys cool ocean breezes, making beach days and seaside explorations a delight.
And let’s not forget the magical Sahara. A desert excursion to Merzouga or Erg Chebbi becomes more comfortable with early morning camel rides and star-filled nights in luxurious desert camps. Kids especially love the novelty of sandboarding and sleeping under the stars!
2. Longer Days = More Time to Explore
With the sun setting later in the summer, families have more daylight hours to enjoy activities without feeling rushed. Whether you’re wandering through souks, hiking in the Dades Gorges, or taking scenic drives through the Rose Valley, you’ll have plenty of time to explore, relax, and make every moment count.
3. A Rich Cultural Playground for Kids
Morocco’s vibrant culture is naturally family-friendly. Children are welcomed warmly by locals, and they’re sure to be enchanted by snake charmers in Jemaa el-Fna, colorful spice markets, traditional music, and hands-on experiences like pottery or cooking classes.
At Open Travel Morocco, we curate tours with family in mind — ensuring kid-friendly meals, activities, and flexible itineraries that work for all age groups.
4. Summer Festivals and Celebrations
Summer is also a time when many local festivals take place, offering a unique window into Moroccan traditions. From music festivals in Ouarzazate to cultural events in remote Berber villages, you and your family can connect more deeply with the local rhythm of life.
5. Tailor-Made, Stress-Free Planning with Open Travel Morocco
We understand that traveling with children means more logistics and extra care. That’s why we offer custom itineraries that are stress-free and 100% tailored to your family’s needs. From luxury accommodations to guided excursions and private transportation, we handle everything — so you can focus on making beautiful memories.
