  • The Petit Taxis Du Marrakech - Marrakesh
    The Petit Taxis Du Marrakech
    by 43beckos
    Send Photo to a Friend
    Marrakech has two different types of taxis, the big old fashioned Mercedes type ( Grand Taxis) and little khaki coloured Fiats ( Petit taxis). In theory the petit taxis cost less as they are only allowed to carry three passengers ( the grand taxis squeeze in up to 6). Petit taxis all have meters, but the drivers are reluctant to put them on, so if they refuse to put the meters on agree a price before moving. The price you agree will probably be about 3 times the cost that the meter would show, but even with this mark up a trip from Jemma El Fna to Guliez still only costs about £1.20. Tipping is not really expected as they are happy with the fact that you have just paid triple the price. Most drivers speak a little French and possibly a tiny smattering of English, in fact some of them are teachers supplementing their income. Don't be alarmed if another person joins you in a taxi, just sit back and accept it as one of Marrakech's strange customs.

    We flew from Karlsruhe/Germany directly to Marrakesh with hapagfly. It was a totally enjoyable flight of about 3 hours, lovely food, friendly staff and excellent vision! The airport in Marrakesh is a very small one by the name of Menara, passport control was decent, customs as well and best of all: the airport is only some 10 minutes drive from the city!

  • Koutoubia Mosque at night, Marrakesh - Marrakesh
    Koutoubia Mosque at
    night, Marrakesh

    I travelled as part of a package deal through Panorama Holidays from London Gatwick direct to Marrakesh. At present, and as far as I know, the only direct flights to Marrakesh from the UK are via Gatwick or Heathrow. For any fellow Northeners, Manchester offers direct flights to Agadir only at present. Well my flight was by GBA, and the staff / service was great. So although I have to travel to London, I would use this service again. My 2nd visit to Marrakesh was in September 06, booked with Easy Jet, for a bargain 37GBP Gatwick to Marrakesh, 73 GBP M'Kesh to G'wick inc. taxes etc. *****I'm still hoping for a cheap direct flight from a Northern UK airport one day soon!!! The airport in Marrakesh is only about 10 - 15 minutes away from the city - you can see the Koutoubia mosque quite clearly illuminated at night from here!

  • Air travel for me was not a problem. We had to stop at Cassablanca airport to change planes, but my poor friend who is darker of colour were held back by the authorities accusing her of being a Marrokan that stole a passport. We had quite a problem

    Lately getting to Marrakech has become very affrodable... at least if you are flying there from Europe. We booked about 4 months earlier with Easyjet, and even if it was Christmas time we managed to find flights from Milan Malpensa for 125 euros, inclusive of all taxes. We have no complaints: the flight was on time, the airplane modern and quite comfortable (we did not feel we were packed like sardines), the onboard sandwich that we bought was sort of edible (like any other airline food).

  • My flight with Royal Air Moroc was over 3 hours late departing from Gatwick Airport London. We where told it was delayed in Marrakesh but didn't give a reason why. This trip was a last minute thing 5 days before christmas so the cost of my flight was expensive because it's christmas time which the fares go up. The flight cost about £245 return and easyjet wasn't much cheaper but there times where off for me so flew with Royal Air Moroc. This was booked online through opodo.co.uk website.

  • Some time ago Ryanair opened this destination from Girona. We took BCN-RAK on 7th Jan at 17.45-19.05 (There is 1 hour of difference in destination as happens in Islas Canarias) To come back 13th Jan at 17.50-21.10 The price per person was around 150€. Paying 18 eur of apt check in fee, 18 eur more for cc payment and the last 18 € as priority board (this 18 € prices are for 3 people; 6x3)

    To/from Marrakech by plane: During our visit the arrival and departure hall was enlarged, but I suppose the procedures for travellers will not change. The airport is just a couple of km’s from the medina. Arrival - After disembarking from the plane everybody has to fill in a form in the arrival hall with personal and travel information. You can imagine what happens if four planes are arriving more or less at the same time (as we had). - Control of your form and passport; you get a stamp and a number in your passport. This number seems to be important when checking in at your hotel. - You have to pick up you luggage. - After customs you enter a hall with an ATM and a ‘Bureau de Change’ for changing your money into Moroccan Dirham. Here are also the desks of the car rental companies. If you are picked up by your accommodation, somebody from the hotel or a taxi driver will wait here with a sign. - In front of the building, at the car park, are ‘petit taxis’ waiting for passengers. You can’t miss them. The ‘normal’ price for a ride to the city is about 70 / 80 Dirham. (There is also a bus connection with the Jemaa el Fna.) Departure - Of course you first have to check in for your flight at one of the desks. - Everywhere in the departure hall you will find forms, which has to be filled in (more or less with the same information as at your arrival) - Only in the departure hall are exchange offices for changing your Moroccan money. It is no problem to change all your left-over money, because in the shops and cafés in the departure lounge you can pay with (at least) euros and a credit card. - Next step is a customs officer, followed by the inevitable security check - At the passport control you do need the form and get another stamp in your passport - In the departure lounge you will find a couple of shops and two cafés, which also serve (warm) snacks.
