How to Plan the Perfect Easter Vacation in Morocco for Your Family

For families, Morocco is an excellent Easter in Morocco trip. It’s easy to get to, safe, and sunny, with stunning landscape and unmatched friendliness. From Europe, there is no jet lag. Children will no longer require vaccine passports as of this week. As a result, now is the best time to plan an Easter vacation!
Here are two fantastic routes to take, as well as several family-friendly accommodations along the way.

Families love the lively Red City as a starting point. There’s a lot to see, starting with the fascinating and labyrinthine souks, which sell everything from homeware to spices to woodwork and jewelry. You can also see artisans weaving fabric, pounding metal, cobblers, and the very noisy tanneries. Climb the city walls, tour palaces, and tombs, and explore Yves Saint Laurent’s stunning Majorelle Gardens on a caleche (horse-drawn carriage) journey around the city.

Ultimate Guide to Exploring the Atlas Mountains from Marrakech

Outside the city walls, the Palmeraie palm trees provide shade, and the majestic snow-capped Atlas Mountains may be seen to the south. These are easily accessible on a day trip from Marrakech, but we believe that staying overnight allows you to immerse yourself in the fascinating Berber culture and to do some moderate walks into the mountains for amazing vistas. The Tizi-n’Tichka road to Ouarzazate (4 hours each way) reveals spectacular gorges, luscious river valleys, walled villages, and ancient history: there’s even a Valley of One Thousand Kasbahs to explore! Spend the night at either the picturesque kasbah-town of At Benhaddou, which has been featured in numerous films or the palm oasis of Skoura, which is located on the verge of the Sahara desert (see our recommended hotels below).

Ultimate Guide to Camel Trekking in Merzouga Desert

In Merzouga, there are a lot of services to have fun on your Easter in Morocco, Camel trekking in the Merzouga desert is a must-do on every Morocco visit. Arrive early if you want to spend one night riding a camel and sleeping in a Berber camp. We usually leave two hours before dusk to see the sunset on the route or when we get at the camp.

We’ll start by riding camels and driving across the golden dunes. Our camel man, on the other hand, will make numerous stops along the trip to take your shots and allow you to snap some of your own. We’ll have arrived at our opulent tent in no time. We’ll kick things off with a fantastic Moroccan lunch. Furthermore, our crew will work tirelessly to prepare to play the drums for you. You’ll have a great time listening to Berber music under the stars. You can have the camels return to the point where we started if you want. You can, however, take a 44-minute journey back to the meeting point.
