Our Journey to Merzouga’s Golden Dunes by Morocco Family Vacation
Before traveling to Morocco, the Sahara Desert felt like something meant for postcards or adventurous backpackers not families with kids. I worried about long drives, extreme heat, and whether the experience would be overwhelming for my children. But our family trip to Merzouga, deep in the golden dunes of the Sahara, became one of the most meaningful experiences we’ve ever shared together.

Climbing Mount Masada
The sun had barely crested the horizon when my Canadian friend, Freddy, and I tightened the straps on our packs and set off toward the base of Mount Elazar. The air felt still and almost sacred, as if the desert was quietly breathing before the day began. My boots crunched over gravel and loose stone as we found an easy rhythm, our shadows long and lean in the rosy morning light.

Iron Lighthouse - Coastal Series: Part III (California)
California’s coast does not need an introduction... That’s the problem. It arrives with expectations already attached, sunlit cliffs, endless vistas, postcard pullouts engineered for awe. People come looking for the version they’ve already seen, and for long stretches, the coast obliges. It performs. It smiles. It sells itself back to you. But that’s not where the road gets interesting.

Iron Lighthouse - Coastal Series: Part II (Oregon)
Oregon’s coast does not soften you on the way in. It tightens first. Trees crowd the road. The sky lowers its voice. The Pacific appears in fragments, between bends, through breaks in spruce and hemlock, across headlands that seem to rise only to block your view again. If Washington’s coast teaches patience, Oregon’s teaches commitment.

Weather in Morocco in August By Morocco Family Vacation
When I first planned our summer trip to Morocco in August, I had mixed feelings. I knew Morocco was hot in the summer, but I wasn’t sure how my kids would handle the heat. Traveling with two children my 7-year-old and 10-year-old means considering naps, hydration, sun protection, and activity pacing more than anything else. I wanted an adventure, but I also wanted it to be safe and enjoyable for them.
