Accommodations & Logistics:

Safety & Cultural Tips:
- Stay vigilant: Pickpocketing can happen in crowded souks—keep valuables secured and keep kids close.
- Dress modestly: Wear breathable, respectful clothing. Teach your kids a few local phrases like “Shukran” (thank you) and “Salam” (hello).
- Engage locals: Moroccans are warm and welcoming—especially to families. A simple greeting or smile goes a long way.
Final Thoughts:
Plan your days thoughtfully, mix activity with downtime, and involve your children in choosing what to do. Let the vibrant street life, serene mountains, filtered desert light—and of course, Moroccan lamb tagine and honey pastries—carry you into cherished family memories.
