Whether by foot, car, taxi, motorcycle, or bicycle, there's no shortage of options.
The discussion starts with Ghizlène:
“Car or on foot, not the taxis or buses, it's a disaster inside, but that's just my take...” Marc adds: “Taxis are a rip-off, better to walk”.
Muriel's view differs, but the conclusion remains the same: “The taxi is the ideal means of transport, but walking is the best way to visit and discover the wonders Marrakech has to offer.”
Opposing taxis, Zineeddine praises the merits of the horse-drawn carriage: “It's non-polluting, suitable for Marrakech's topography, and very safe given the number of accidents recorded.” Anouar sums up: “It's magical in a horse-drawn carriage!”
Next up are the two-wheel enthusiasts, like Amal, who without hesitation suggests the scooter: “With the traffic jams and hustle, it's a no-brainer!” Hugo agrees, saying: “On a scooter, it's fantastic... While taxis, they stop whenever they want and only pick you up if they feel like it...”
Still on two wheels, but this time without a motor, Acim says: “On a bike, it doesn’t cost much, but you really have to be cautious on the road.”
Ahakay shares his thoughts, according to him: “For short trips within my city, I prefer the bike, especially before sunrise. The silence of the alleys and the small squares of the old medina, as well as regions like Ourika and Oukaimeden, are magical. It requires effort, but it's worth a try.” Agnes continues: “The bike!!! It's the freedom to go where you want, it's economical, no pollution, no parking hassles, and no feet turned into minced meat!! It's the essential accessory for a Marrakchi!! It's a shame there aren't more bicycle renters in Marrakech!”
Some prefer to take to the skies... Even if it's not the most practical for running out to get bread. Like "Grain de Sable" (a very fitting nickname) who tells us: "Paragliding offers breathtaking views, a unique experience, and a guaranteed adrenaline rush...” Going in the same direction, Martina and Marouane express their shared ambition: “In a hot-air balloon, it's better, if possible!”
Agreeing with everyone, Christophe concludes with a maxim to remember: “Travelling in Marrakech is a pleonasm, the universe of Kech is by definition a journey of all the senses.”
