Morocco’s Magic: Culture and Comfort Combined

Morocco is what happens when Africa, the Middle East, and Europe have a beautiful, chaotic, incredibly photogenic baby that grows up speaking four languages and making the world's best tagine.

This is a country where you can ride camels at sunset, bargain for carpets in thousand-year-old markets, and sleep in luxury desert camps that somehow have better WiFi than your hotel back home.

 But here's Morocco's real magic trick: it makes families feel like intrepid explorers while keeping everyone safe, comfortable, and properly fed. No small feat in a country where the adventure quotient is off the charts.
