Airport car rental

Marrakech Menara Airport (RAK) is only about 6 km from the centre, one of the closest in the country. Handing over the keys at the terminal is common and quick.

Arriving by train

Marrakech railway station, the end of the line from Casablanca, sits in the Hivernage district, and several agencies deliver there.

Driving in Marrakech: our tips

  • The medina is pedestrian: park in the guarded car parks at Bab Doukkala, the Koutoubia or Jemaa el-Fna.
  • For the Tizi n'Tichka pass towards Ouarzazate, pick a stronger engine or an SUV and set off early.
  • Summer often passes 40 °C — check the air conditioning when you collect the car.

Day trips by car from Marrakech

  • The Ourika valley, about 45 minutes away
  • Imlil and Toubkal National Park
  • The Agafay desert, about 40 km out
  • Essaouira, about 190 km west on the Atlantic
