  • If you haven't booked a taxi before you arrive you can get one from the airport. The obvious now stated, if you are staying in a riad in the centre of the Medina it's a good idea to get a petit taxi as the grand taxis often can't fit down some of the narrower the alleys. After a long day of travelling the last thing I want to do is start lugging bags down miles of alleys.

    Expect to spend from 10-15 euros (100-150 dirhams). It always pays to negotiate the price before getting into the taxi

    When I got off the train in Tangier, I decided to take the taxi to the port. Because I was travel alone so I talked to the taxi driver and I had to wait until he had got five more passengers. Finally, our taxi had five men, a woman and a taxi driver. The taxi was over loaded. For one thing, I asked the driver how much money before I got into the taxi. I paid only 10Dh. It is fair. It takes around 10 mins from the train station to the port.

    We negotiated with an extremely pleasant "Grand Taxi" driver to take 4 of us on a trip to the Ourika Valley for the day. We stopped on the way to see a typical Morroccan house, to take pictures of beautiful landscapes, visit the waterfalls.and have lunch. We asked him to show us the Menara Gardens when we got back to Marrakech.
    The next day he took two of us to Ouarzazate to see all the Kasbahs on the way - a 12 hour trip and we found he was a courteous, considerate and safe driver. In terms of cost we paid 1000 dirhams for the second trip which we felt was excellent value.

    Mohamed Douissi was an excellent guide and we highly recommend his services. His telephone number is 062 73 8\97 45 and his taxi is number 1515. If you contact him beforehand he could pick you up from the airport and organize your city visit.

    As you leave Marrakech train station you should jump into a yellow Petit Taxi (it doesn't look like the picture I'm afraid) They are loads in the station taxi rank. Instead of putting your luggage in the boot, you have to place it in a small rack on top of the taxi!

    When we visited Marrakesh in September 06 we found ourselves a fantastic taxi driver who was reliable, efficient and very honest. While everyone else was charging us 150 to 200 dirham’s to go to the Airport Muhammad (bless him) charged us only 80 dirham’s to go to the airport from Medina. Muhammad also gave us the tour of Marrakesh at a very cheap price; he would drop us off and then pick us up a few hours later. This was perfect for us as we had a 2 year old child and didn’t want the hassle flagging down a taxi and then pay four times the price it should be. Muhammad also showed us the souks in his petit taxi which had its advantages as we didn’t have to walk and he would take us to shop which he new the goods were genuine and of good quality. As you will find in Marrakesh there are a lot of imitations and you need to be careful in what you buy. By the end of our holiday we became such good friend with Muhammad that he has invited us to stay with his family when we go back next year.

    If you need taxi and peace of mind please call Abdul Rahman who speaks English on 07629 7052, he will get in touch with Muhammad for you who will pick you up from your hotel.

    Taxis in Marrrakech are either little ones or big ones. The Petit little ones are small and by law can only hold 3 people maximum. They are for local jobs and should display a meter but often this is deliberately left off. So the usual haggle ensues if you don't agree a price beforehand. The standard fare for short journies is under Dirhams 10 (say about 90 Euros cents) however when going out to the new city, the fare can be 20 or more. After 8pm the fare is also loaded. So best try to agree on a fare and get an idea of the cost and what you consider sensible or just plain stupid.
    The large mercedes cars or Grand taxis are able to seat 6 people and are used for longer distances mainly. So if you are a group of 4 then look for one of these.

  • To use a petit taxi in Marrakech, try this phrase:

    "Le metre, c'est marche?" (the meter, it is running?)

    We found it quite hard to find petit taxis around the old medina and the ville nouvelle but I believe they are around in their muddy gold livery...

    Petit taxi's are the ones to use if you want to stay inside the city.

    Taxis are all over the place!

    There are petit taxis (little taxis) and grand taxis (big taxis).

    The petit taxis are allowed to take up to 3 passengers. We were told by our guide that a tour within the city or from adjacent neighborhoods to the city should not cost more than 20 DH (2 ?), so what we did was to tell the driver where we wanted to go for 20 DH and usually they accepted.

    The traffic in Marrakesh is wild, so at times we got out of the taxi with shivering knees, but after all, everything went extremely well!

  • Agree a price before hoping into a taxi - approximately 100 dirhams from airport to New Town as a rough guide.

    As in London it is fine to hail a taxi.
