Morocco Family Travel Checklist Before You Fly

Once the route is set, check the details that can hold up the first day: entry documents, the airport meeting point, the car seats and when the room will be ready.

Before you pay a deposit

Check current entry and transit guidance for every passport in the group. If a child travels with one parent or another adult, ask the airline and consult official guidance for the documents relevant to your family. Check that your insurance covers the route and any activities you intend to book.

A week before departure

Save the first hotel’s name and driver’s phone number on two phones. Reconfirm the flight number, where the driver will wait, the seat for each child and the drop-off point if you are staying inside a medina. Ask the first hotel what to do if a flight arrives before check-in or after reception closes.

If anyone has a food allergy, contact each property or activity provider that will serve meals. Plan a backup you can carry for the first transfer.

Pack one bag for the first evening

Keep a change of clothes, usual snacks, chargers, any medication you need to carry and the hotel address in the bag you can reach. In a car with a full boot, you should be able to get what a tired child needs without unpacking the suitcases.

Ask for a family itinerary

Email your dates and children’s ages to Morocco Travel Experts for a proposed route and quote.
