How do you plan a luxury family trip to Morocco?

A luxury family trip to Morocco is built around a day where everyone has a place at the same time, rather than around a list of sights. With Moroccan Wizards, days designed for families are arranged on brief rather than priced upfront, and combine with costed outings: the Ourika valley at $250, the Atlas villages at $320.

What makes a day work with children?

That nobody waits their turn. Our family nights in the Agafay desert, forty-five minutes from Marrakech, are built that way: a buggy for the teenagers, an Amazigh storyteller and a low fire for the youngest, mint tea for the grandparents while the High Atlas turns violet behind them. Everyone has somewhere to be, all at once.

What is there to do with three generations?

Make something, rather than look at it. In Fès, a day of four crafts: a child's hands in a potter's clay, a copper hammer keeping time nearby, and a quieter craft for grandparents who would rather sit and watch. In the Ourika valley you flatten the dough yourself and slide it onto the hot stone of the village oven. Around one table, a grandmother lays her hands over a child's for the first turn of semolina.

And if the parents want two hours to themselves?

That is planned for, without guilt. In a riad courtyard in Marrakech, an atelier afternoon holds the children — chips of glazed tile pressed into fresh plaster, a reed pen drawn across paper — while the door of a private hammam closes on the parents, for two hours with nothing at all to do.

Frequently asked

What ages do these days suit?

They are composed around your children's actual ages, not a standard bracket. Give us the ages in the brief and we will tell you plainly what will hold the day and what will run long.

Why do these days have no listed price?

Because they depend on the number of travellers, the ages and the pace. They are quoted after the brief. The classic outings do carry a price: Ourika at $250, the Atlas villages at $320, based on two travellers.

Does the desert suit young children?

The Agafay does: forty-five minutes from Marrakech, one night, back the next day. The Sahara asks for roughly eight hours of road and three nights — with young children we advise against it rather than sell it to you.
