Morocco Unveiled: An Unforgettable Family Adventure

Morocco, the most westerly North African country, almost connected to Europe by Gibraltar, is a location steeped in a long, colorful history. You may be wondering whether it is a good place to take your family, though. After all, there are so many destinations in the world that are perfect for family vacations, why risk it with the unknown. Well, we are here to ensure you that, not only is Morocco perfect for your upcoming family vacay, it may even be better than a lot of other popular destinations. In the rest of this article we are going to make the case that Morocco is indeed the perfect location for your upcoming trip, hopefully convincing you to give this North African jewel the opportunity to amaze you in so many ways. 

Before we get to our list, though, allow us to first discuss a very important element of travel: Airport Transportation. When visiting any destination, even more so a new destination, it is vitally important to organize your transportation to and from the airport in advance. By doing so, you eliminate any stress that may pop up if you were to leave your transportation to chance. 

A reliable company who has been operating in the region for years is AtoB Transfer. Not only do they offer some of the most affordable prices, they also have a wide range of vehicles, and offer you the ability to personalize your ride. To personalize, you can choose to include one of their many extra add-ons options, such as child seats, additional stops, and even request that your driver speaks a specific language (unless you want to work on your Arabic). 

With that out of the way, let’s get down to discussing Morocco and why it is an amazing place to visit with your family. 

Head to Casablanca

Although your kids may be a little young to get the reference, and likely you will be as well, the movie Casablanca, from back in the 40’s was one of the most popular movies for decades. So, if you want to feel like Bogart and say “Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn”, then visiting this timeless city will be your only opportunity. Jokes aside, though, this city, the largest in Morocco, is the perfect combination of modernity and old-world charm. From the port and beach, all the way to the Arab League Park, the Hassan II Mosque and all the colonial-era architecture, you will feel like you are in a story-book. With an AtoB airport transfer to this beautiful city, the story will definitely have a happy ending. 

Wear a Fez in Fez

You must know about the little red-felt hats that were popular in most of North Africa and the Islam world when the Ottoman empire ruled the region? Well, they were made here, and also carry the name of the city. How they got their name was due to the city of Fez being the place where the crimson berries, used to dye the hats traditionally, originate from. What could be more fun than strolling through the long market roads, wearing your own Fez caps and bartering with the local merchants to get the best price on spices and other traditional wares? Well, maybe an AtoB airport taxi ride, although we will let you be the judge of that!

Barter in Marrakech

As you can probably tell, Markets are a very popular thing in Morocco, even in the 21st century. Although they have changed substantially over the years, you can still enjoy some of the old-fashioned charm. It is the perfect opportunity to introduce your kids to how markets used to be, giving them a genuine experience of the past, as well as of different cultures, and how markets work. Aside from the markets, there are countless other opportunities to appreciate the unique charm of the city, with museums being located throughout the city, as well as many theatrical and musical events occurring throughout the year. Something else that also occurs throughout the year is AtoB’s airport transfer service, which is available 24/7/365. 

Visit the Gateway to Europe in Tangier

Well, not exactly a gateway, per se, and the weather would have to be incredibly clear to be able to see the tip of Spain across the Strait of Gibraltar, if you want to see what ‘Rockin the Casbah’ is all about, visiting Tangier is your chance! With gorgeous beaches, as well as cultural influences from countless different civilizations over the millenia, Tangier may be one of the finest places to visit in Morocco this year, due to its push to rapidly develop its tourist market. Staying at one of the many resorts dotted across the coast, will be perfect for families who want to spend less time exploring and more time soaking up the sun. To reduce travel time and increase sun time, book an airport taxi in advance, directly to your resort. 

See the Desert in the Gorges of Dades

If it is adventure you seek, then a trip through the winding roads of the Atlas Mountain Range will be the perfect opportunity. Carved out over thousands, if not millions of years, these rugged wadi gorges stand anywhere from 200 to 500 meters. The running water of the Dades river is what gave them their unique shape, and it still flows in the nearby vicinity, sometimes flowing through the gorge during the rainy season. Along the way to visit this Gorge, which can be done either as part of a tour group, or solo, if you’re brave enough, one can stop off at a popular restaurant on the hillside, from where the entire windy road is visible. The road which takes you to the gorge, namely the R704, has been rated as one of the most scenic routes on the planet! 

You can also choose to stay at one of the hotels located in the region, if you want to ensure you have more time to explore the gorge with your family. It is definitely an amazing opportunity to introduce your kids to the wonders of the Moroccan desert, although make sure to wear a lot of sunscreen! Also, don’t forget to book your AtoB airport transfer, which can even take you directly to a hotel in the region, if requested. 

These have been our picks for the most amazing places to visit in Morocco. A visit to this country is guaranteed to be a once in a lifetime opportunity, taking you out of your comfort zone, but also providing you with a unique opportunity. Visiting with your family is a great way to introduce your children to North Africa, as well as the culture and society of a prominent Islamic country. By booking an airport taxi, you guarantee that you keep the traveling to a minimum and the fun to maximum. Happy travels!
