Where to stay with primary-school kids (ages 5–9)

Central and walkable — kids 5-9 cover more ground than toddlers but tire faster than teens.

📍 Medina riad (near Bahia Palace)

Authentic, courtyard-pool, breakfast on the terrace. Rooftop views at sunset. Choose one with a plunge pool for naps + afternoon downtime.

📍 Hivernage

Modern district with 4-star pool hotels. Easier with toddlers; 10 min walk or short cab to the medina.
