People I speak to are frequently surprised to hear that Morocco has some great water parks, perfect for escaping the heat, especially if you are somewhere inland like Marrakech. I am going to talk you through the best parks either as a day visitor or a hotel guest.
Operating mainly from April to October, you will find a Moroccan aqua park to be much better value than their European or US cousins. Despite the price they have attractions that match global standards with all the normal family favourites, such as wave machines, lazy rivers and water slides for all age groups.
