Prior to visiting Morocco, one of the cities we had on our list as a must visit was the city of Chefchaouen. It is truly one of the country’s most beautiful cites but getting there is a little more difficult than we imagined. From our GuesttoGuest home near Martil on the northeast coast of the […]
During the hot days in Marrakech we thought we’d take a walk to the Majorelle Garden with the kids. Walking in the heat was a bad idea but taking refuge here was a good one. With many tall trees surrounding us we managed to keep cool in the shade and the kids enjoyed running around. […]
When we mention that we’ve visited Morocco with kids, the first thing everyone asks is “how was Marrakech”. While we did spend two weeks in Marrakech, Fez will always be our favourite. However, we know that many visitors tend to only visit Marrakesh as their entry point to visit the desert. Mind you, you can […]
As we planned our 148 day adventure, friends told us not to worry about flights within Europe because carriers like Ryanair always had sales and great deals. I’d heard of the many budget friendly airlines in Europe and was glad to hear friends recommend Ryanair. We had also heard about how difficult it is to fly […]
Despite growing up in the deserts of Dubai and Bahrain, visiting the Sahara Desert had been a dream of mine since I was a kid. When we recently made the decision to visit Morocco with our kids my main goal was to get into the Sahara Desert. I spent many, MANY, many hours researching how to […]
Thought we’d share a couple pictures of Baby Boy visiting the Todha Gorge during our drive from our over night desert stint (where the hubs rode a camel and will never do it again!) to our GuestToGuest home in Ouarzazette, Morocco. Our drives in Morocco were long ones but luckily it wasn’t very painful as […]
Riding a camel is a lot like taking the polar bear plunge on New Year’s Day. It’s a grueling activity done solely for a moment’s exhilaration (and for bragging rights, of course). I’ve now ridden a camel twice in my life. The first time occurred in Dubai and lasted for two minutes. I was the […]
Fes was the first major Moroccan city we visited. Unsure of what to expect, we hopped a train in Tangiers for what turned out to be a 6 hour journey to Fes. Our family would be staying in a GuestToGuest home located just inside the walls of the Fes Medina, one of the largest car-free urban […]

The two main reasons to visit Morocco are to see the Sahara Desert and to eat its cuisine. While traveling through the North African country, I expected to be hot, to eat well, to see some amazing sights, and to witness chaotic driving. My expectations were met on all fronts, for better or worse. Despite being nearly […]
