FAMILY TRIP TO MOROCCO
Family Trip to Morocco: Morocco is an incredible country! How about exploring Morocco as a family?
Traveling as a family will provide incredible experiences that the children will never forget!
So, how to travel as a family to Morocco?
TRIP TO MOROCCO WITH CHILDREN
Morocco offers plenty of adventure for families: you can ride a camel caravan in the Sahara Desert and, at rest time, have tea on the dunes. Furthermore, you can take a tour of the Marrakech souk. Not to mention that you can surf in Agadir or even sandboard on the dunes…
But as with any trip, it’s normal for parents to worry about the chosen vacation spot.
Morocco is an extremely popular destination, with good infrastructure and excellent highways. In the cities, you’ll find beautiful Riads to stay in and great restaurants.
MOROCCAN ATTITUDE TOWARDS CHILDREN
Moroccan society is family-oriented, so Moroccans are very friendly with children. Thus, it is common for Moroccans to approach children and even invite the whole family to their shops.
However, as in any big city, it is certainly good to be attentive to your children. Do not leave them alone. And pay close attention to traffic; motorcyclists generally do not follow traffic rules very well.
And don’t forget that, however friendly they may be, Moroccans know you are tourists and will take advantage of that. So, be alert and don’t fall for this trick. Always have a guide with you.
HEALTH AND HYGIENE PRECAUTIONS
On any trip with children, it is crucial to take certain health and hygiene precautions. During your trip to Morocco, it is important to:
• Have vaccinations up to date
• Avoid consuming raw and unwashed foods, as well as loose dried fruits
• Avoid exposed foods without refrigeration systems
• Always consume bottled water
• Do not swim in rivers and beaches without proper supervision and guidance. There are polluted places, without surveillance and with strong currents
• Always purchase travel insurance that covers cases of illness, hospitalization, and sanitary repatriation.
Additionally, always bring medicines your children are accustomed to taking. This will avoid surprises and unpleasant reactions. The same advice applies if they use continuous medication; bring enough for the entire time they will be away from your country.
RESPECT LIMITS
Regardless of age, everyone has physical limits, patience limits, and even how they react when hungry or needing to use the restroom.
It is important for children to know that they can tell their parents how they are feeling. This way, the trip will be enjoyable and at a family-friendly pace.
RELAX THE ROUTINE
During trips, it is difficult to follow family routines and habits one has at home. Therefore, try to relax and make the trip to Morocco lighter and more relaxed.
HAVE A PLAN IN CASE SOMEONE GETS LOST
Many parents always have a plan with their children in case someone gets lost. On an international trip, such a plan is even more essential. Therefore, talk to your children about this possibility and practice with them what each will do if it happens.
WARN ABOUT THE RISK OF TALKING TO STRANGERS
Moroccans love children, and they will certainly approach your children. But the recommendation not to let your children talk to strangers is always valid, regardless of the country they are in. Therefore, always talk to your children about this, and if a stranger approaches, stay with your children.
RESEARCH TOURS ACCORDING TO CHILDREN’S INTERESTS
It is normal for each person to have their personal tastes; therefore, when planning your vacation in Morocco, take your children’s interests into consideration. This way, you will be able to keep the entire trip pleasant and interesting for them.
Traveling as a family requires planning. But the experience will be unforgettable!
