Easter Egg Hunt in Marrakech, Morocco

 What a fantastic Easter Sunday we had with friends in Marrakech.  The day was stunning and the Atlas Mountains clearer than I can ever remember.  Driving to Tahanout the scenery was beautiful and a real treat in itself.





Arriving at our pretty destination in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains we all had a superb lunch together, pumkin soup, tasty tagines with sauteed potatoes (the best way to have a tagine) and lemon tarte to finish washed down with very good Moroccan Wines.


Next came the drama of hiding the Easter Eggs without the children seeing so I managed to remember my teaching days and a very silly 10 minutes of Simon Says were played with lots of jumping and fast touching of heads, toes, eyes, bums (always gets a big laugh).









The Easter Bunny aka Marcus had done a very good job.  However the eggs were collected quicker than the 3 hour drive around chocolate shops in Marrakech that the mothers had had the day before! 












Gorgeous little Moroccan baskets were handed out and off they went full of greed and excitement.

 What a stunning location and day for an Easter Egg hunt.  Moroccan holidays have so much to offer.  3 hours from the UK to this Moroccan Paradise.  Doesn't get much better than this!!
