A great way to introduce kids to new kinds of food is to get them hands-on experience. There are several cooking courses in Marrakech but not all are suitable for children. You’ll want to double check age requirements with anywhere you decide to book.

One thing that is sorely missing in Marrakech are playgrounds but, there’s no shortage of gardens. Keep in mind gardens are meant for walking on the paths and not walking or playing in the grass.

Do your kids love a thrill? An amazing, albeit pricy experience to have in Marrakech is a hot air balloon ride. Children do need to be at least five years old.
