Experiences of a Lifetime: Trip Ideas for the Family Traveler

Casablanca is a contemporary business and industrial powerhouse, but also the gateway to the heart of Morocco. When visiting with a family, there is no better way to experience the joys and unique perspectives of the city than through the eyes of other families who have lived, grown, and shared generations in the bustling city.

While often overlooked or quickly left for the more famous cultural cities, Casablanca has a soul of its own, shared by the experiences of local guides and the stories passed down by their grandmothers.

Each new tale will accompany a landmark that impresses, whether inside Casablanca or when visiting nearby villages that showcase traditions and the connectivity that stories bring to strangers and friends alike. As a family you will find magic in an experience that unfurls a new and unexpected view of Morocco.
