Morocco is a Mediterranean country, located in North Africa. There are many different ways of travelling around the country and their transport infrastructure is excellent. Moroccan roads are good, but traffic accidents are common due to poor drivers. Public transportation is very useful and affordable, but isn’t always safe.
Road traffic is on the right side.

Morocco has an excellent train infrastructure, one of the best in Africa. Trains provide a great service and they are very affordable. Railway network is extensive, but not every major city and tourist destination is reachable by train. Two train types run in the country: ordinaire and rapide. The main difference is that rapide trains are more comfortable and costly. All trains also have two classes of wagons. Tickets can be bought online, at train stations or from conductors (for an additional fee). There are also several different rail passes, which are useful if you intend to travel by train a lot. Trains in Morocco are operated by ONCF, for more information you can visit their website: www.oncf.ma

Bus infrastructure in Morocco can be a mixed bag. Intercity buses are usually comfortable and cheap, but are much more overcrowded than trains. There are also buses that are specifically designed for tourists. They are more comfortable but also more expensive. There are many different bus operators in Morocco, with the biggest one being CTM (www.ctm.ma). Tickets can be bought online or at bus stations. Different bus companies have different bus types and classes. Major cities like Rabat, also have their own local buses. These buses tend to be overcrowded and not as safe as intercity ones.

Two cities in Morocco have a tram system: Rabat and Casablanca. Both of these systems are modern and reliable, but not very extensive. There are only 2 lines in each city, meaning it’s a quite limited way of travelling around. Tickets cost 2 MAD. Both systems operate from around 06:00 am to 22:00 pm, at very frequent intervals.

Taxis are popular in Morocco, so finding one should never be a problem. One thing you should know is that many taxis in the country operate like public transport, as they often stop to pick up passengers even if they have customers inside. There are two types of taxis: Petit taxis and Grand taxis. Petit taxis are smaller, only having the capacity to carry three passengers. Some of these cabs have a meter, some don’t. These taxis are designed only to be used within cities and each city has a different color for them. Grand taxis are larger, being able to fit six passengers. They are used mostly for intercity transportation and has similar functionality to buses. Taxi fares in Morocco are not very high, making taxis affordable. Ride-sharing services like Uber and not popular in the country.

In most major cities and airports, you can easily find a car rental company. Local companies are less reliable, but can often be cheaper than international ones. Most Moroccan roads are in a great condition and many cities are linked by modern freeways. However, many roads have poor lighting at night and floods are common during fall and winter. Moreover, traffic accidents and casualties are common, as driving practices are poor and drivers are aggressive. Fuel prices are also high, making driving quite expensive. Police roadblocks are common on Morrocan roads, but tourists aren’t stopped very often. To rent a car in Morocco, you must be at least 21 year old and have an International Driving Permit, though EU licenses are also often accepted.

Flying can often be useful, as it’s much faster than taking a bus or a train. On the other hand, it’s also much more expensive. Royal Air Maroc (www.royalairmaroc.com) is the main airline in Morocco and provides domestic flights between many major cities.

The most important international airport in Morocco is Mohammed V International Airport in Casablanca.

Despite the large number of rooms in Morocco, there are practically no hotels specializing in children’s recreation. Even in five-star hotels there is practically no children’s animation, not many hotels have children’s clubs.
For families with children, it is better to choose a hotel with a children’s pool, since the water in the ocean in summer warms up to a maximum of +23 +24 degrees and often waves on the beach.
You can also stay overnight with a child in an inexpensive guest house. Conditions here will be simpler, but there will be a playground on the territory and amenities in the room.
If the child does not tolerate long journeys, we do not recommend traveling in Morocco by car. Attractions in Morocco are located quite far from each other. Travels by car from point to point often take from 4 hours. Some sections of the path pass along mountain winding roads. On main (toll) highways every ~ 30 km. there are gas stations with parking lots, toilets, restaurants and playgrounds where you can take a break from the road. There are no such stops on secondary roads, and even gas stations are much less common.

Necessary items for children can also be purchased in supermarkets, shopping centers, pharmacies or small shops in the hotel or nearby.

• – Zoo and Park “”Valley of the Birds”” in Agadir

For older children, the best attraction will be a camel, ATV or mule ride.
The brightest emotions will be given by the night in the desert under the stars and dancing to the drums by the fire.
Creative kids will love the artisan workshop and pottery, Arabic calligraphy and Moroccan sweets.

There is no animation in Morocco hotels as a rule. Only a few hotels can boast of children’s clubs, but in all, without exception, there is an opportunity to use babysitting services.

For a beach holiday with children in Morocco, choose Tangier with its access to the Mediterranean Sea, the secluded lagoon Oualidia or the Europeanized Agadir. Here you and your little ones will be guaranteed excellent swimming.
It is best to take children aged 9-10 on sightseeing tours with daily transfers of 3-8 hours. Long journeys can be broken up with overnight stays in charming guest houses in small towns and mountain villages if desired and time available.
Older children who can handle travel well will enjoy the desert tour with tents among the dunes, camel riding and quad biking. They will remember such an adventure for a long time!

For the child, you should take seasonal comfortable clothes, preferably made from natural fabrics, as well as several warm clothes, a light jacket, comfortable shoes, sandals, beach slippers, a hat and sunscreen. For a small child, do not forget to take diapers, diapers, bottles, pacifiers, favorite toys and books to Morocco, a portable “kangaroo” bag or sling will not hurt, since moving around the cities of Morocco with a stroller is extremely difficult due to the hilly terrain and narrow streets. with stairs.
