Morocco has lots to offer families – fascinating culture, plenty of activities and standout scenery. Plus, you can expect great value all round, especially if you opt for All Inclusive as part of your package holiday. And there’s plenty to see and do, without breaking the bank.

Marrakech

For a vibrant destination, look no further than Marrakech. Also known as the ‘Red City’, you’re sure to be captivated by what’s on offer. Riads (a large, traditional house), palaces, parks, museums, gardens and, of course, bustling souks. Here are just a few other activities and sights to enjoy while holidaying in this magical hotspot...

Make a splash at a waterpark

To escape the summer heat, take a day trip to one of the waterparks. Oasiria Waterpark has a whopping eight pools, a pirate lagoon, wave pools and a lazy river. Or try Aqua Fun Club, with its incredible 17 swimming pools, making it the largest waterpark in Marrakech!

Watch live entertainment at the Jemaa el-Fna

Where do we start? In Marrakech city itself, you can enjoy dusk ‘til dawn action in the city’s huge main square, known as Jemaa el-Fna. From cultural performances, music and traditional dancing to acrobats and magicians, this is one of the best show settings.

Sample traditional Moroccan food

Here, you’ll find plenty of tasty eateries where the kids can sample Morocco’s fab flavours. Couscous and tagine are the must-try dishes but msemen drizzled in honey is also really tasty too!

Try something new

Go shopping in the souks and marvel at the colourful items for sale, take a tour in a horse-drawn carriage, admire the palaces or visit the Slat Al Azama synagogue in the Jewish Quarter. For something a little different, why not take a family cooking class and enjoy your creations at the end?

Where to stay...

Agadir, on Morocco’s west coast, is the perfect region for that classic beach holiday. There’s a gorgeous promenade and picturesque harbour as well as one of the biggest souks in the country. One of its highlights is the huge, 9km-long stretch of golden sand, a mecca for families and water sport enthusiasts.
