Family travel to Morocco offers an eye-opening mix of color, flavor, and cultural depth. Your experience here could include guided visits through Marrakech’s souks, where local experts introduce you to spice merchants and master rug weavers. Learn to make tagine in a private cooking class, taste freshly fried sfenj doughnuts at a neighborhood café, and explore the centuries-old medinas that feel like living museums. Stay in a traditional riad for an authentic experience or enjoy dinner under the stars in the Agafay Desert after an afternoon of camel rides.

Just across the Strait of Gibraltar, southern Spain offers the perfect continuation of a Moroccan adventure. Take the ferry from Tangier to Tarifa, then journey north to Granada, where the Alhambra Palace, flamenco music, lively markets, and skilled artisans bring Andalusia’s rich spirit to life. End your journey along the Costa del Sol, where whitewashed villages and relaxed Mediterranean living make for a beautiful spring break finale.
