Pickup and return

Pickup normally begins around 8:00–8:30 AM. Pickup is from the accommodation when vehicle access is possible. For inaccessible Medina accommodation, the nearest practical meeting point is arranged after the accommodation is reviewed.

The exact pickup time and any meeting point are confirmed before departure.

Return to Marrakech is normally in the early evening, subject to traffic and group logistics.

Outside vehicle-inaccessible Medina areas, pickup normally depends on the accommodation. When the tour vehicle can reach it, pickup can usually be arranged there; if direct access is impractical, a nearby accessible meeting point is assigned.

See Marrakech Medina pickup & drop-off points.
