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!

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      I completely agree with you, Angelina. But it's worth noting that no one else has a problem with her, or finds her rude /  has mentioned her aggressively banging gates / ringing doorbells etc.

      But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
