Why Marrakech in Morocco is great for families
When we picked Marrakesh as our vacation destination for our last holiday trip, we had no idea that it would be so much fun.
We knew we were going to enjoy ourselves but then, we really had no idea that it would turn out to be so educative, exotic and fun all at once. Our kids had grown up reading Arabian tales and were very excited at the very prospect of spending time in an Arabian city.
This reason alone was behind our choice of the Medina part of the city to reside in during our vacation.
The modern part of the city which we learnt was modeled after European cities is named Gueliz.
There, the renowned brands in the service segments as well as products can be found on sale. Our consolation was simple; if we ever developed a craving for European stuff, we could always cross over given the fact that the distance is negligible.
We had to fly to Casablanca and then change planes for the forty-five minute flight to Marrakesh which was the reason we had our extremely cheap last minute flights.
We had booked our reservations jointly with our friends so when we got to the Marrakesh International Airport, we allowed them to go on ahead to the hotel with our luggage as we were keen to start our Marrakesh experience immediately as we were looking forward to the deals we found with our cheap hotel deals.
After changing money at Terminal 2 of the Arrivals Hall of the airport for walking around, we used the foot walk beside the road and walked the rather short distance to the Medina.
This gave us at least a visual acquaintance with the city. We got to our hotel after the walk and to the envy of our friends who had at least showered and were ready to taste some local dishes.
We had chosen a hotel over the traditional riads for space. And our hotel was pretty well located and even had a spa!
We spent that night at the Café Arabe where we had the pleasure of being served attentively.
Although it was not exactly the local cuisine our friends wanted, it was worthwhile. It still had the trappings of an Arabian place with the music relaxing our nerves and water mist spraying from the ceiling. It was very enchanting.
After the jetlag of the previous day, we all decided to go in for a hammam which is to the Moroccans what a Turkish bath is to the Turkish.
We chose the Hammam Ziani which is not the most upscale in town but is certain great. The entire family took turns to have our bodies pampered.
It lasted about four hours after which we decided to have a little fun before night activities.
We made for the Café Alhamra which is has a wonderful local menu and allows us a very fine view of the Djemma El-Fna right below.
We returned to our hotel to rest a bit and freshen up for the night out at the Djema El-Fna. That night out was simply enchanting as the performers thrilled us all and the food was exquisite.
We joined our friends to explore the other part of town in Gueliz and buy many artifacts in the local markets which are known as souks. It was a very wonderful family vacation of which we were thinking next year we are looking to find some cheap flights to dubai to check out the shopping and exquisite high life experience!
