Desert Viking Challenge is organized by professionals and taking you to the most protected and safest places, however if you decide to keep travelling after the challenge:
Morocco is a pretty safe country that can be navigated with a bit of common sense, but there are a few things to be aware of:
- Getting lost in winding medina streets
- Getting hassled by unofficial guides (known as ‘faux guides’)
Kids Safety:
Moroccan society is a very family-oriented one and you will be sure to witness that especially when you travel to Morocco with your family and young children. Family is the priority for Moroccans and children are typically spoiled rotten by elder relatives, being able to stay up later than is customary in the West and allowed to play freely indoors and on the streets.
When you travel with your little ones, you may then notice a friendlier attitude from the locals with people frequently coming up to you and admiring your children, affectionately caressing or possibly kissing their cheeks, inviting you in to their shops and cafés, and even offering free tea. This is all friendly behavior and you should not feel uncomfortable or unsafe about it. Morocco has an extremely child-friendly culture and bringing your little ones along on your journey may even be an advantage for you to interact with the locals and explore the Moroccan way of life first hand.
