A Week In Marrakech With Kids

A Week In Marrakech With Kids
This family's experience:

Activities: We went to Jemaa el-Fnaa square to see the street performers. It is the largest square in northern Africa and is a UNESCO heritage site due to its 1,000+ year tradition of public performances every evening—like singing, dancing, snake-charming, storytelling, acrobatics, amateur boxing, etc.—which continue to this day

Highlights: The kids were excited to see the street performers and the animals. We discussed with them that the animals shouldn't be there and that they are not happy being kept as entertainment ✨
