Thanks for all the help with the kashrus information!
Right now I'm planning a 5 day trip to Morocco and I'm thinking about flying in to Marrakech on Sunday being there for a day and a half, somewhere in the Sahara desert for a day, Fez for a day and then flying out from Casablanca on Thursday afternoon, is this a good plan? any tips would be greatly appreciated.

you might want to adjust your plans, the roads aren’t what you think, take a look at google maps…

Looking to go for 1 day stopover at the end of July with my family.
Crazy to bring my kids with me? (range from 10 to 19 yr old)
I am going just to daven at Kevarim of tzadikkim.
What would be the best route for just one day?

Meh and a half.

Find me one kid who'd not want to go to Morocco for a day, even if it means shvitzing.
