We booked a 12-day Morocco family vacation with Introducing Morocco. Our children, aged 8 and 10, were completely thrilled by the camel ride across the vast Sahara dunes. But the real surprise hit was the ceramic workshop! They loved getting their hands dirty and creating their own little pieces of art. Our guide, Mohamed, was wonderful, making sure every activity was fun and engaging. A fantastic way to experience Morocco with kids!
