Why a private transfer to Ourika?

Shared taxis to Ourika leave from a rank in Marrakech and wait until they are full. You then have to find another vehicle to finish the journey or to come back down. A private transfer picks you up at your door and drops you exactly where you are going, luggage included.

It is the easiest way to reach a guesthouse or lodge in the valley, to go straight up from Marrakech-Menara airport, or to arrive early at the start of a High Atlas hike.

You travel in an air-conditioned vehicle with a driver used to mountain roads. Want a break or a photo stop above the river? Just ask.

Only want to spend the day in the valley and come back in the evening? The private tour or the group tour is a better fit and includes the programme's stops.
