Marrakech hosts the 7th edition of summer camps for children from Al-Quds

Under the High Patronage of H.M. King Mohammed VI, Chairman of the Al-Quds Committee, the Bayt Mal Al-Quds Acharif Agency is organising the 7th edition of summer camps for children from Al-Quds, titled "Loyalty to Al-Quds Session", from 6 to 19 August in Marrakech. A total of 49 Maqdessi children, accompanied by five supervisors, are expected for this operation on the afternoon of 6 August at Mohammed V International Airport, from where they will be transported to Marrakech following a welcome ceremony, a statement from the Al-Quds Committee indicated on Friday. In addition to free time at the hotel (swimming, sports, and leisure), visits will be organised to the Handicraft Complex, the Koutoubia Mosque, the Jamaa El Fna square, as well as various historical monuments of the Ochre City (El Bahia and Badi Palaces) and the Riad Zitoune and old Medina districts, the statement highlights. This stay will be marked by an awareness-raising meeting with doctors from the Moroccan Association for Oral and Dental Prevention, a visit to the Grand Museum of Marrakech, the Royal Equestrian Club, the Oasiria Water Park, and the Majorelle Gardens, the same source adds. The holidaymakers will also visit the Menara Gardens and the Arborescence nursery, and will attend an artistic evening on 14 August at the Place du 16 Novembre to celebrate the anniversary of the recovery of Oued Eddahab. They will also visit the Dar Si Said Museum, the Saadian Tombs, the goldsmiths, the Mellah district, and the wastewater treatment plant. The Maqdessi children will also have the opportunity to visit Terres d'Amanar in Tahanaout (mountain tourism), the old Medina of Marrakech, the Ben Youssef Medersa, and the Grand Stadium of Marrakech, where they will play a match against a local team, the same source indicates.
