Hi Amanda, I am traveling to Morocco Jan 2027 from US (2nd time). I have been a longtime follower of yours and would love to book either Essaouira day trip or a food tour in Marrakesh while I am visiting. Please let me know if January dates are offered as they were not available on the calendar. Thanks!

Hi Amanda, I loved your posts.
I'm a researcher and university professor in the field of education and I would very much like to interview you about education in Morocco.
I plan to visit the country in July of this year. Would that be possible?

Hi Theresa - apologies but July is when I am away from Morocco and visiting my family in the US. Hope you will have a great visit to Morocco!

Hi - I'm trying to find a recipe that my mother - who was born in Morocco - used to make. It's a cookie with anise - was not a soft cookie. She would shape them as a pretzel and we would dip them into hot moroccan mint tea. Do you have any idea what she could have been making? I appreciate any help you can give

Hello!
Thank you so much for the information shared on this amazing website, it's really useful. My wife is pregnant and we are thinking to go to Morocco for her to give birth, because all our family is out there and is much cheaper... I want to ask about the process to get our baby US passport if you went through it, can u please walk me through the process and required docs and the timeframe... we are Moroccans, I'm also a US citizen, my wife is still a green card holder, she will eventually be a US citizen next year inshallah.
thank you very much

You'll find information on registering a birth abroad at the US Embassy website here https://ma.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/child-family-matters/birth/ - they're also good about answering questions if you email them.

Hello!
How concerned should I be about getting leishmaniasis from sand fly bites? I'm doing some research into taking a family vacation to Morocco (that will include travel inland) and the US CDC travel information on Morocco says to avoid insect bites for that reason. We live in a buggy area of the US and i know that avoiding insect bites is pretty much impossible. Any information would be really helpful.
Thanks!

I think unless you're planning to live in the sand for a long period of time it's a monor concern, truthfully have never heard of it nor of anyone who had any issues with this.
