Magical family trip to Morocco!

Morocco | Sep 28 - Oct 7, 2022

Tiziri Camp is one of our favorite experiences/places to stay EVER! We felt at home as soon as we arrived and the staff was so welcoming at every turn. The tents are so comfortable and even luxurious! The staff prepares delicious meals and was so accommodating for our whole family - they helped our kids sandboard, arranged for us to visit a pool during the day and played Berber music in the evenings. We stayed 2 nights and would definitely recommend! 1 night would have been too short to fully enjoy the experience!

We loved this hotel run by two amazing brothers! It was raining when we arrived, and they came to our van to welcome us and help carry our bags in. We felt at home right away! One of the brothers is the chef and prepares truly amazing meals. We had dinner and then breakfast. Our rooms faced the street (back rooms have a nice view) but we arrived after dark so wouldn’t have been able to enjoy the view anyway. We would have loved to stay here longer! The back terrace and pool looked beautiful. The beautifully furnished rooms, top-notch food and warm hospitality are not to be missed!

This hotel was 100% comfortable - just didn’t have the character of our other hotels and airbnbs. No complaints and it was a great place to stay before our early flight.

Our local guide Oosama did a great job showing us around Marrakesh. He patiently answered our questions and was great with our kids (even carrying our 4-year-old!). We loved touring the city with him, and he knew so many people as we walked around - that gave the tour a really authentic feel! Oosama felt like a friend showing us around his city.

We loved walking around the gardens! They are incredibly beautiful, and our kids enjoyed the animals as well (koi fish, turtles, frogs). We also really loved the YSL Museum even though we don’t know anything about fashion. The dresses are beautiful, and even our two older kids enjoyed it! This was definitely a highlight and not to be missed. Our driver recommended going early (9am) and we’re thankful for that - the gardens got busier as the morning went on.

This was so relaxing and a fun experience! We started with a wash and scrub in the steam room, then had foot massages, followed by full body massages (the 4-year-old skipped that and ended up napping in the foot massage room).

We loved walking around Ait Ben Haddou. Our driver Samir arranged a local guide (Aziz). Aziz was awesome! He was very patient with our kids and we learned a lot about the ruins. This was fascinating to see! We didn’t have much time in Ourzazatte so opted to skip the studio tour. I’m sure it would have been fun, but we wanted to get to our hotel in Boulmane Dades before too late in the evening.

Long travel day, but Samir did a great job as always! The views along the way were amazing.

The sand dunes of the Sahara are such a unique place to do an ATV ride and it was really fun to ride through the dunes.

We enjoyed learning about the nomad lifestyle. Our guide Hassan was very accommodating, but not the best personality match for our group. We didn’t really interact with the nomad family - Hassan served us tea in their tent. I’m not sure if that is the norm or not. Hassan stopped at a pharmacy for some medicine for our daughter, which was much appreciated! We also enjoyed Berber pizza for lunch!

The dinner with a local family was an excellent experience for our family. The food was delicious, the family was very welcoming and the son spoke very good English to chat with our kids! The host mother / cook even did Henna for us after dinner to add to our experience.

Fun, local experience of the Medina food options. The tangia and yoghurt were particular highlights, we even tried the snails from a Street vendor! The guide, Usama, was excellent.

Good fun, and a workout carrying your board back up the sand dunes!

Really a nice tour of the city, particularly the Medina. We really enjoyed the viewpoint from the fort over the old town, the ceramics co-op, the old, beautiful quaranic school and the tanneries.
