Fishing enthusiasts will also find the lake abundant with local species. Nearby, the spectacular Ait Bougmez Valley and the Cathedral Rock formations offer breathtaking hiking routes that reveal the untouched beauty of the Moroccan countryside.
Beyond its natural wonders, Bin El Ouidane is rich in local culture and Berber traditions. The nearby villages of Ouaouizerth and Azilal provide glimpses into the authentic Moroccan way of life, with lively markets, traditional tea houses, and warm, welcoming locals.

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesDar Haissoun is perfect for a multi-generational family wanting to explore Morocco. The villa is stunning and incredibly spacious. There is a wonderful children’s bedroom where there can be up to six mattresses, such fun! The list of entertainment is endless. Children love the garden, picking vegetables, playing tennis, swimming in the pool and taking part in the water activities on the lake.
The surrounding area is very scenic and full of wildlife. During your travels to discover the valleys, gorges and mountains, children will see turtles and monkeys amongst the wildlife. They can fish for carp on the lake too.
Thrill-seeking older children can enjoy rafting through the rapids and gorges, canyoning and other extreme sports. The younger ones might want to stick to kayaking or swimming. Visits to Berber villages along the way are fascinating for little ones.
The labyrinth of Marrakech casts a magical spell on children. Its palm-studded riad gardens, tinkling fountains, fairytale buildings, thrilling souks and street entertainers never fail to amuse children. When night falls, its main square comes alive in what will seem like the greatest show on Earth. Little ones will experience a dizzying array of dancers, storytellers, snake charmers, musicians, monkeys and food stall vendors. Families can enjoy mule rides, cooking lessons, bartering experiences and delicious meals. Marrakech enjoys many delightful gardens, including Harti Jardin and Cyper Park, that are great for good walks. There are two small amusement parks for younger children, Ludipark and Paloozaland. Ludipark offers bouncy castles, pony rides, a mini zoo and an aquapark. Paloozaland offers a dinosaur theme and enjoys several rides, a 6D cinema, a swimming pool and live shows. There are always camels near the Menara Gardens which kids can ride. If you want more of a desert camel ride, you can take a taxi or arrange a ride through your riad to the Palmeraie. Another popular trip is to the Moulay Hassan racetrack on the edge of Marrakech for some kart racing. Moroccans do tea very well, so you can arrange a wonderful afternoon tea at the Royal Mansour. Kids also enjoy getting a henna tattoo or seeing a Fantasia Show. Chez Ali is a show that has been going for years and includes dinner as well as performances with horse riders and music. You will see horse carriages everywhere though you might want to check if the horses look well cared for.
The thrilling Oasiria Waterpark, on the outskirts of Marrakech, offers eight swimming pools, twenty fabulous attractions and seventeen slides. One of the attractions, Aquaroc, is the first climbing wall in Africa. It is 25m long by 5m high and offers three courses, initiation, improvement and training. The waterpark sits in ten hectares of landscaped gardens sprinkled with ponds, paths, flowerbeds, century-old olive trees, desert crossings, palms, wooden pontoons, streams and colourful flowers, and there are five restaurants. There is even a kids club for six to nine-year-olds and nine to twelve-year-olds with meals and snacks included. These are run by experienced leads which offer supervised swimming, treasure hunts, fairs, toboggan competitions, climbing on the Aquaroc, beach soccer, water games, tug of war, football and more. The wonderful Eden Aquapark is another popular family pick. It boasts endless rides, slides, swimming pools, a river, a beach for little pirates, entertainment and a luxurious hotel attached to it. It is a giant aquapark that offers a world of water entertainment.

Dream holiday
It is a dream location and the house is artistically put together.
The staff is loving and made our stay warm and joyful. -
La maison est magnifique
Encore mieux que sur les photos: la maison est magnifique et parfaitement adaptée à un rassemblement familial tel que nous l'avons vécu.
Le site est paradisiaque. On se promène dans la propriété plantée d'oliviers. En proximité de la maison le jardin de cactus est remarquable. La piscine, les activités variées nous ont permis de passer une semaine de rêve.
Une mention spéciale à la cuisine d'excellente qualité préparée par des dames d'une grande gentillesse.
