Marrakech · With kids

Cobalt walls, bamboo and a small Berber museum; arrive at opening to skip the queue and allow under an hour. Ages 5+.

Slides, a wave pool and a shaded toddler area fifteen minutes south of the city, open roughly April to October. Ages 3+.

Short guided rides through the palm groves north of the city, best late afternoon; an hour is plenty for small children. Ages 4+.

An hour into the Atlas foothills for riverside tables, easy waterfall walks and cooler air. Grands taxis leave from Bab Rob. Ages 6+.

The derbs are narrow, uneven and full of scooters — carry small children rather than pushing them, and book a riad with a plunge pool.
