  • Unlike Fes or Casablanca, do not waste your time trying to find a taxi that would open the meter. It does not exist. Instead, determine an amount that you are willing to pay, and bargain for that. Just like in other forms of shopping, ask them what they want and offer half.

    The transfer from airport to the medina takes roughly 15 minutes.

    Within the Medina, petic taxis are the best way to get around. A trip costs between 10-30 Dirhams, depending on distance. Always agree on a price before, and always haggle. Example: At the Majorelle Gardens, a taxi driver demanded 100 DH for the return trip to the city. I laughed in his face as I had just made the journey for 30 Dirham with another cab. The next driver demanded 50 Dirham, which I haggled down to 30 Dirham. Still dirt-cheap compared to driving taxi in Germany.

    Most sights within the city limits are in walking distance. For the Majorelle Gardens, Menara and the Aguedal Gardens a taxi is recommended.

    By Taxi / By Petit Taxi / By Grand Taxi: Taxi cost 20Dh for locals & 80 for silly tourist

  • Upon arrival at Marrakech Menara airport we were approached by the unscrupulous taxi drivers whom offered to take us to the Median for 80 Dirham. Take note, the locals pay only 20 dirham. The lonely planet guide said that it should cost between 50 - 60 dirham so I asked for it to be reduced from 80 to 60. None of them were budging naturally and it was really hot so we finally accepted an offer for 70dirham.

    When we got out of the taxi, we handed the driver 100 and he told us he had no change, laughed and got in his taxi and drove away laughing. If you're smarter than us, make sure you get the correct change before getting in one of these taxis or better yet, take the bus.

    Sometimes, it's not about whether the price is fair compared to what you expect to pay in your home country. You are not in London for example but in Marrakech and if the locals pay 20 Dirham then why should you have to pay more?
