Family trip to Fes with children. Ideas on where to go with your child

Fez is distinguishable for its many architectural monuments, narrow streets, and almost palpable antiquity of the central quarters. Very young children or those who are used to spending time with modern gadgets will be bored here. However, if your child is active, curious, and loves everything related to ancient history, then a family vacation will be perfect in Fez. If you plan to spend some time in places where children will be bored or uninteresting then look for hotels with a children's club or babysitting services in the new city. There aren't many of them here today. However, you can still find this useful option in hotels due to the popularity of the city among tourists.

You should take your child to Diamant Vert. This is a hotel complex. It is located near the airport. A small water park is located here. It is available to everyone for a fee. Slides will impress only kids here. But older children will be able to communicate with their peers from other countries and just relax from the heat in a fairly large outdoor pool. If a child gets tired of having fun in the water, you can sit on a picnic on a perfectly flat lawn nearby. You should visit Diamant Vert if your child wants to take a break from active vacation and constant excursions. There is something to see here. It is worth starting with the fact that Fez was founded more than thirteen centuries ago. The oldest part of the city has not been rebuilt since that time. You can wander the whole family for hours here. You will find more and more interesting buildings. Show the child alleys where two passers barely miss each other. The ancient Al-Karaouine is also interesting. This is the oldest educational institution. It is constantly functioning. Pay attention to the narrow cobbled streets where loaded donkeys scurry as in the past. You should also visit the Old Medina. This is the oldest center of Fes. Also, you should visit Fez-Jdid with your child. This is the second Medina. It was founded 7 centuries ago. The New Fez is also sure to appeal to the child.

A child can not only walk around the largest pedestrian zone in the world but also see how people of Morocco paint the leather according to the recipes of their ancestors in Fes el Bali today. Fes is famous for its masters. There are many drying, dyeing, pottery, and weaving workshops here. Masterclasses for tourists are held periodically in many of them. For example, a teenager can try creating ceramics in Mosaic & Pottery Cooperative. Unfortunately, a small child will hardly have enough fine motor skills to create his masterpiece.

Young fans of beauty will love the workshop for the production of tabletops Art D’Argile. If your child is interested in military conflicts or just loves history, then you should go to Musee des armes together. The exposition is not too large-scale in it. But the building, built in the 16th century to protect the city, just attracts attention. The child will be able to see the evolution of the Moroccan army's weapons from the middle ages to the present day inside in 16 halls. This place is sure to appeal to boys and many girls, too.

Those children who are more interested in art should visit the Nejjarine Museum of Wood Arts and Crafts. A child can see beautifully carved balconies, railings, panels, musical instruments, woodworking tools, and many other interesting and beautiful things here. Girls may like Ali s Art Gallery. If your child can and loves to ride a bike, then it is worth diversifying hiking with bike tours around Fez. It is not difficult to rent a bike for both an adult and a child in the city. You can also take a ride around the village, visiting, for example, the ruins of an old Fort on a mountain bike with a good suspension.

Riding a camel or donkey may interest a child. There are very different routes in the vicinity of Fez. Even kids can take the shortest routes. Older children will appreciate a trip to the real desert by car or camel on a pre-agreed path. You can take your teen to the nearest oasis and spend the night in the heart of the desert. In addition to the beautiful photos, the child will have impressions for the rest of his life from this trip.
