The Benefits of Family Travel to Morocco
– From Edward & Susie Piegza, Founders & Parents of Jack and Matt
As the founders of Classic Journeys and parents of two boys (now adult men, who are ‘off the family payroll!’), we’ve had the privilege of traveling with our family to over 35 countries. Yet, Morocco remains one of the most transformative experiences we’ve ever shared. For us, travel has always been a way to reconnect as a family, leaving behind the distractions of everyday life—and, most importantly, our devices.
In Morocco, this connection deepened even further. The colorful souks, camel rides across the Sahara, and the warmth of the people made every moment extraordinary. Our eldest son was so moved by his experience, especially by our wonderful guide team led by Saida, that he chose to write his college application essay about her. The way Saida shared Morocco’s rich history and vibrant culture left a lasting impression, teaching our sons lessons that went far beyond textbooks. And we are pleased that he graduated from Cornell University in 2019.
Family travel to Morocco offers an immersive experience that helps children expand their horizons and deepens the bonds between parents and kids. Every day brings new adventures—whether it’s riding camels through the desert or sitting together to share a meal with a Berber family. It’s an opportunity to reconnect, engage with each other, and create memories that last a lifetime.
We’ve seen firsthand how transformative these experiences can be, and it’s why we believe Morocco is one of the best places for families to explore together. Parents to parents, we invite you and your family to explore Morocco with us and our extended Moroccan family.
