Getting there and around
Arriving: Marrakech Menara (RAK) is 20 minutes from the medina.
- Petit taxis are cheap. Ask for the meter or agree on the price before you get in.
- The medina is car-free. Riads send porters to meet you at the nearest drop-off point.
- Venues in the Palmeraie and Agafay are 20 to 45 minutes out. Book group transfers.
- Carry dirhams in cash. Dress modestly in the medina.
Booking rooms for your wedding group
- Most guests come in high season (March to May, September to November). Set up a room block or share hotel picks 9 to 12 months ahead, because good rooms go first.
- Keep guests in one or two areas if you can. Shared shuttles and meeting points get much easier.
- You can get around here without a car, so a central base near restaurants works well for most guests.
- Ask hotels for a group rate with no attrition penalty, a cut-off date about 30 to 60 days before the wedding, and free delivery of welcome bags.
