We went when my children were a similar age and had a great time just hanging out on the beach and in the souks. I was worried about the famous wind but it was fine and the hawkers on the beach sell little cakes which was odd but cute. We went with fleewinter and stayed in the most beautiful riad. The children hated Marrakesh on the other hand, maybe too hectic for them

Err...those hawkers selling "cake" are often selling something more...medicinal. I wouldn't let your kids buy any! ;-)


Haven't been with kids but it's a fantastic place with huge expanses of beach for the kids to play on. I expect the fish market will be quite fun and there are some great ice cream shops nr the harbour.


Oh, and I hope you like stray cats. Like most of Morocco, there are thousands.

We had a lovely time with ours there - had a riad with family and someone came and cooked every evening. They also brought some of their Gnawa musician friends in for a little private concert which my girls adored. A trip to the local hammam was also very popular with my (then) three year old. They popped her into a bucket and scrubbed her - she's never been so quiet!

Beach was fab fun too, despite the wind, and the markets much less hassly for kids than Marrakech. Icecream place in the square was lovely!


Have fun

I may have many failings as a parent but seriously that hasn't included allowing them to take drugs - I'm sure there is a happening subversive culture in Essouraoria but we remained blissfully unaware.

Enjoy



Edited to add - except for medised which we were very fond of back in the day!

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      I didn't realise that either! I thought it just meant division within communities - religious, racial or otherwise.  Yes, it is frightening. The days of the broad church political party are over.

      So I've done a little more research into the current use of the word, I hadn't realised it had latterly been used to describe anti Muslim feelings. Still don't like the use of the word. These are horrible times and am fearful for the future.

      Oh I didn't realised Starmer had used the word. I don't mean they are stirring up division between themselves (ie between Reform and Greens), I mean they are stoking division within communities, and stirring up racial prejudice and religious discrimination. That is sectarianism, in my view.

      Just to repeat the news I was given – it's not being converted into a pub. As far as I know, there's no intention of dumbing down their restaurant offering.  Although as others have pointed out, Camberwell has two pubs – The Camberwell Arms and now the Michelin-starred Kerfield Arms – with excellent food. The Palmerston used to be the only pub in ED that was of such quality, but sadly no longer IMHO.
