Travel with teens
Morocco with Teenagers: Cities, Coast and Sahara
Ask each teenager to pick one thing they want to do. A craft workshop in Fes, a morning near the dunes or a coast day can set the route before you start counting cities.
Choose a city activity they can take part in
In Fes, ask a guide to build a medina morning around pottery or tilework. Find out whether a workshop allows visitors to try the craft or only watch. In Marrakech, choose a cooking class or an early evening at Jemaa el-Fnaa and agree on where to meet if someone steps away in the crowd.
Give an outdoor day its own place in the itinerary
For an Atlas walk, ask the guide for the distance, terrain and turnaround point. For the coast, decide whether the day is for walking and food or for a booked water activity. Check local conditions and the provider’s age and experience requirements before arranging the latter.
If the dunes win, consider two nights near Merzouga so there is a full day between arrival and departure. Ask which sandboarding or camel activities are available and leave time for the family to choose on the day where the provider allows it.
Hand over one planning decision
Give your teens the same map and overnight plan you use. Let them choose between two extra nights in a city and adding another stop. Show them the drive that comes with each choice and reserve a free afternoon for their pick.
