Family Tours
The South of Morocco is a great place to bring children - after all, the Sahara desert is probably the world's biggest sandpit!
SheherazadVentures can organise sandboarding, camel-treks, desert camping with nomads, quad-biking, hiking as well as educational team Sahara treasure hunt events which are ideal for school groups. We can also give you advice on the best places to take the kids in the bewtiching medieval city of Marrakech, or recommend other places to visit.
By travelling in private comfortable air-conditioned 4x4 vehicles with our experienced drivers your family are in safe hands. You can travel at a pace that suits you, stopping whenever you need to "find a tree". Our drivers even know where to find that tree when there are none! You will also have an English-speaking guide to accompany you throughout.
Morocco has loads to offer for adventurous kids aged from 5yrs to 95yrs!

Parent's Note:
If you have teenage children, then maybe you as a family would like to help lead one of our Fun For All! Volunteering Tours providing recreational activities for local people from the village of M'Hamid el Ghizlane. Interaction with English-speakers is a great way to reinforce the basic English classes that some children enjoy in school, but not all Moroccan children have the luxury of education (especially girls in rural areas). For your own children it's a wonderful way for them to develop their self-esteem, communication skills and global citizenship awareness. More info
