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!

    • I've used just about all the locally available supermarkets for deliveries over the years, and I now  use Waitrose for deliveries, for various reasons. They have a good range of the things I eat, their food is good quality and their "essentials" range is generally good value (except the tissues, which suddenly became so thin as to disintegrate immediately. I was mainly buying them for the nice plain boxes, so now I just put other tissues into the old Waitrose boxes 🤣) It is very rare for something I've ordered to not be available on the day. Their delivery drivers  are genuinely friendly and helpful. Their customer service is very good. On the rare occasions I've had issues, they have refunded me without quibbling. They often have special deals on some of the things I buy often, so I stock up when they are cheaper. I do occasionally compare prices with other supermarkets, and overall I really don't think Waitrose is more expensive, but obviously they might be for things I don't personally buy. I absolutely hate Sainsbury's, would use Lidl for some things but they don't deliver, Iceland has a very small range of things I eat, and I can't remember why I don't use Tesco or Asda any more. I recently checked out Ocado because there was some offer which seemed good value, but they just didn't have enough things I wanted to buy to make it worth using the offer. M&S don't deliver ( to the best of my knowledge) but in any case they seem to be still badly suffering from the recent hack into their system. Apologies, I have just remembered this thread is about shopping at actual physical stores, but probably many of the issues are the same.
    • Since I am of a certain vintage now, not sure if what I am going to suggest is even still around but here goes… use to be able to buy “dummy/mock papers on line and also had mini synopsis of Shakespeare plays specifically covering students wanting to gain a better understanding of play before taking mocks/ exams. Only know this as many many moons ago, struggled with English Literature and Language and this was the avenue-my parents went down. Also was at this point in my life, educated abroad as part of my fathers job.  
    • Love your comment about “shoehorned” - put a smile on my face..! As for comment about “Little Waitrose” ummmm - never really thought about it. Personally, could not care less. But guess Sainsbury Local and Tesco Express are to you more acceptable.. Ultimately, when I think about it, I actually don’t care what they call themselves - been lured by partially branding and partially convenience and what they offer in groceries.
