IN A NUTSHELL
Visit Marrakech with Children
Fancy a family adventure that’s bursting with colour, culture, and fun? Then look no further than Marrakech! This incredible city in Morocco is like stepping into a living fairytale, with bustling souks overflowing with treasures, ancient palaces whispering stories of the past, and peaceful gardens bursting with fragrant blooms.
Marrakech with children isn’t just a feast for the eyes, though. Here, families can dive headfirst into the rich Moroccan culture, learning about local crafts and traditions. Imagine bargaining for a hand-woven rug in the Jemaa el-Fnaa square with your children, watching skilled artisans work their magic with leather and metal, or getting lost in the labyrinthine alleyways, filled with the enticing aromas of sizzling spices, together as a family.
Of course, no family trip to Marrakech with children is complete without delicious food, and Marrakech delivers on that front too! Think melt-in-your-mouth tagines, fluffy couscous dishes, and sweet pastries drizzled with honey. Your taste buds will be doing a happy dance!
This travel guide was created in collaboration with the Marrakech Tourism Board, packed with insider tips and ideas to make your trip extra special.
