Are you thinking of Marrakesh for your family holidays this summer? It's a great idea! The ochre city is ideal for fulfilling the expectations of all generations. For parents, the city offers all the charm and relaxation of Morocco, the country of sunshine, history and wellbeing. For kids, the city overflows with all kinds of activities: tennis, golf, archery and of course swimming pools in the city's resort hotels, not forgetting the attractions and water slides at the Oasiria water park.
No more tedious historical visits with bored kids: Visit the city in a horse-drawn carriage along its famous ramparts and cross the famous Jemaa el Fna square listineng to its storytellers, admiring its snake charmers and tasting a grilled meat skewer at the stalls set up for the night. And, of course, don't miss the panoramic view across Jemaa El Fna square at sunset!
If you want to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city, take a stroll through one of Marrakesh's magnificent gardens: Majorelle, Agdal, Menara. And for the more adventurous, the Terres d'Amanar leisure park awaits, with its monkey-bridge trail to move through the trees and its daunting cable slides to cross the canyons.
And to allow your family discover Moroccan culture, take the whole clan to the 45th National Popular Arts Festival, from 16 to 24 July: The centre of Marrakesh is filled with large stages where you can see traditional danses and listen to music from all the country’s regions.
Pleasant and dynamic, Marrakesh is the ideal place for summer holidays with the whole family!
