Questions about excursions around Marrakech (page 7 of 7)

I rented a minibus with a driver from Medloc 10 years ago, and it was perfect.

I’d also add that in 2023 I rented from Yacout, since Medloc had really raised their prices.

Last rental done through Medloc. No issues.

So it’ll be Medloc then. 😉 Thanks everyone

Ouirgane used to be a little paradise before: 1/ The construction of the dam 2/ The exceptional flood of 1995 3/ The earthquake

The valley remains one of the most beautiful in the High Atlas near Marrakech, with the gorges of the Oued Nfis all the way to Tizi n'Test, but you’ll have to wait a bit.

Compared to Ouzoud, it’s very picturesque, and when there’s plenty of water, the waterfalls are spectacular—not to mention the road to get there, which is stunning. It’s just a bit far for a day trip.

Hi Bruno,

I see your preparations are going well! I went to Marrakech 2 or 3 years ago.

Personally, I’d have recommended Merzouga, especially with a group of friends! (I sent you a PM about this a few months ago) : it’s a desert full of tourists, but it’s still beautiful, and there are some great stops along the way (like Ait Ben Haddou).

For Marrakech, great choice to add a riad in the Medina to be right in the heart of the action. We really loved the Museum of Confluences—don’t miss it (same for the Medersa). Majorelle is super photogenic, and you’ll be surrounded by influencers 😉 but it’s still worth seeing.

For the cooking class, we really enjoyed our time with Najla (if you can’t find her online, I can give you her details). You cook at her place, first going to the local shops in the neighborhood, and the food is delicious!

We tried the "fake" desert of Agafay and took a taxi from Marrakech (I don’t remember the exact terms, but basically, some taxis do short trips within Marrakech, while others do long trips—the fares are regulated and usually displayed on the windows. For Agafay, you need a taxi authorized for long trips). The quad biking activity is fun in beautiful landscapes (there’s also e-biking). There are some great spots with pools and massages on-site.

In terms of landscapes, I was blown away by the High Atlas—it’s stunning.

Have a great evening, Pascale

Hi Pascale, and thanks for stopping by here 😉

Merzouga—won’t rub salt in the wound, it was my pick too, but my "adventurers" didn’t go for it 🏴‍☠️ We’ll settle for Agafay

I’ve noted the rest, it’s all on the agenda except for the cooking class—we’ll take one with the villa’s cook instead, since we’ve already booked it.

Hey Bruno

You must not be far from Marrakech 😉

Have a great holiday and, above all, if you don’t keep a travel journal, we’d love a little souvenir photo—like you learning belly dancing with a pretty Moroccan dancer 😏

Thanks, Kate! We actually arrived yesterday, and the magic is still just as strong!

Awesome! Have a great time Bruno! 😊 And think of the reflections

Thanks kate, we actually arrived yesterday and the magic is still just as strong!



So? You promised a travel journal

And so? You promised a travel journal

A promise is a promise! 😏

Messages 23 and 40, does that sound like a promise? 😉

True, I trusted Kate too...🙁

Sure enough, I was the one who trusted Kate...🙁

Kate is persistent and maybe there’s a little #teasing

Indeed, I trusted Kate too...🙁

Kate is persistent and maybe... #teasing

So it was lame! I can see that... I was hoping to laugh... To laugh kindly at your good jokes, not sarcastically

"Vox populi, vox Dei" 😉
