Things to Do in Marrakech with Kids
Camel rides, colour-filled souks, splashy water parks and mountain picnics — Marrakech is a playground for curious kids and their parents.
Marrakech might not be the first place you think of for a family holiday, but kids love it. The medina is a sensory adventure — colours, sounds, animals, food stalls — and the surrounding mountains and desert offer genuine outdoor thrills that work for ages four and up.
The key is picking the right activities and having private transport so you can move at your family's pace. We help you do exactly that.
What's included
Camel ride in the Palmeraie
A gentle 45-minute ride through the palm groves on the edge of the city. Safe for young children with a handler walking alongside.
Learn more →Oasiria Water Park
Slides, wave pools and a lazy river. A full day of splashing that gives parents a poolside break. Open April to October.
Majorelle Gardens
The vivid blue villa and cactus garden are a hit with kids who like colours and exploring. Small enough to do in an hour.
Learn more →Cooking class
Older kids love shopping for spices in the souk and learning to roll couscous or shape pastries. Several operators offer family-specific sessions.
Learn more →Atlas Mountains day trip
A scenic drive with a short, easy hike and a riverside lunch. Kids see Berber villages, mules carrying goods and snow-capped peaks.

Common questions
Is Marrakech safe for kids?
Yes. The medina can be busy and chaotic, but it is safe. Petty theft is the main concern, not violence. With a guide or private driver, families navigate comfortably. Most Moroccans are very welcoming to children.
What age is too young for Marrakech?
There is no minimum. We have helped families with babies and toddlers. Under-fours may find the heat and pace tiring, so we recommend shorter morning activities and pool time in the afternoon.
Can the kids ride camels?
Children from about age four can ride with a parent on the same camel, or solo from about age seven. A handler walks alongside at all times.
Is the food suitable for picky eaters?
Moroccan food is generally mild and flavourful rather than spicy. Couscous, bread, grilled chicken, chips and fresh fruit are widely available. We can recommend restaurants that cater to fussy eaters.
