Begin with a visit to Marrakech, once an imperial city of Morocco, showcasing lush palace gardens, impressive mosques and bustling market places. Shop, dine and explore the stylish city with the kids and elevate your next family trip abroad.
One obligatory stop on any trip to Morocco is a market place. Check out local goods from pottery and textiles to glass lanterns and jewelry among the hustle and bustle of Jemaa el-Fnaa. The public square boasts live entertainment, local merchants and bargaining. The open-air market is also a historic landmark and an idyllic stop on your trip to Morocco.

Take a tour of the grounds and learn all about the ancient dynasty.
Begin with a tour through Menara Gardens, a botanical garden located west of Marrakech, Morocco, at the foot of the Atlas Mountains. Established in the 12th century by the Almohad Caliphate ruler Abd al-Mu’min, Menara offers panoramic views and incredible natural beauty.
