Why people like it
Staying by the sea but curious about the red city? Marrakech works as a day: leave after breakfast, cross the argan country, and your driver drops you at the medina gate. He stays reachable all day and picks you up where you finish, so you skip the taxi haggling and the hotel night.
What you can do
- Jemaa el-Fna, the Koutoubia and the souks on foot.
- Bahia Palace, Saadian Tombs or the Secret Garden.
- The Majorelle garden and the Yves Saint Laurent museum (book tickets ahead).
- Lunch on a medina rooftop; dinner at the square's food stalls before leaving.
- A guided walk of the medina can be arranged on request.
Good to know
Long day, late return. Tell us your return time; evening on the square is the best part.
How it works
- You choose the date, the departure time and the return time. Nothing is fixed in advance.
- Your driver takes you there, waits for you on site and brings you back. You visit at your own pace, no guide, no group.
- We reply with one price for the car, whatever the number of passengers it carries. You pay the driver on the day.
