Morocco with Kids
Traveling to Morocco with kids is one enchanted journey, full of discovery, vibrancy, and activities for all families. Golden dunes filled with camel rides, bustling souks, and exploring Marrakech, the country offers everything in its entirety that makes each trip a memorable one.
Marrakech
Marrakech must be included in any Morocco tour with children. This town is vibrant; there are tons of engaging events the children are going to take pleasure in. Begin with the Jemaa el-Fnaa square one of Marrakech’s premier attractions full of singers, snake charmers, storytellers, and many other forms of entertainment, then close there is the beautiful Majorelle Garden, the ideal place for respite from chaos yet providing colorful gardens, fountains to which other tourist children are glued.
For an educational experience, head to the Saadian Tombs or the Bahia Palace. Both present history and architectural grandeur of Morocco. The Marrakech Souk is also a sensory delight in which kids can marvel at brilliant textiles, spices, and handcrafted artifacts.
Sahara Desert Adventures
Probably, one of the greatest joys that come from taking children to Morocco is to take camels through the dunes of Merzouga so they can feel the magic of the desert. Spending one night in a traditional Berber tent in a starry sky will certainly ensure this memory is not ever forgotten.
For most, there are desert camps with amenities that are made for families, clean sleeping accommodations, and local cuisine that even the pickiest eaters might enjoy.
Another thrilling activity by sandboarding the dunes and also educating the adventurous kid who can know some stories about the desert’s unique flora and fauna, told to him by a guide.
Medina in Fez
Fez is a cultural treasure trove for families in the medieval city. They are going to enjoy walking through the maze-like alleys of Medina, where the donkeys are carrying goods, and artisans work their traditional ware. A guided tour would be advisable because navigating the city can be made easy, along with learning more about its history.
Visit the Chouara Tannery, where leather has been dyed for centuries. A pungent smell prevails, but for many, it remains an unforgettable adventure. Another wonderful family stop: the Al-Attarine Madrasa, so beautiful in the tilework, and the Islamic architecture.
Coastal Escapes to Essaouira
For a laid-back coastal feel, Essaouira is a great destination in Morocco with kids. The town has wide beaches that are great for building sandcastles and kite flying. Families can also explore the fortified walls and ramparts, which give panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean.
The harbor in Essaouira is always quite busy with lots of fish arriving in from their daily catches by the local fishermen. Fresh grilled seafood can also be ordered in many of the waterfront restaurants for a relaxed trip.
Practical Tips for Traveling with Kids
Any trip to Morocco with children requires caution, preparation, and planning. Morocco is a family-friendly country, but preparing the right types of clothes is important. Sun protection, light clothing, and comfortable walking shoes are a must-pack. Bring some snacks and water for long trips, especially when traveling to the countryside because many places do not have clear amenities.
Choose riads with family rooms or that have children-friendly rooms. Many riads have inner courtyards where children can play without harming themselves. Lastly, observe cultural sensitivities: be modest in your dressing and be culturally sensitive.
Conclusion
Morocco with kids will be one such experience where there is a coming together of adventure, culture, and relaxation in one destination. From the old cities to camels in the desert or to have a taste of coastal serenity, opportunities abound for bonding between family members. With proper planning, your Moroccan trip will surely enrich and delight everyone in your family.
