If you are driving in Morocco for the first time, it’s helpful to familiarise yourself with Moroccan road rules. Some key points include:

• Overtaking: Drive on the right and overtake on the left.
• Traffic lights operate in the same way as in European countries. Don’t turn on a red light.
• Speed Limits: Generally, 50-60 km/h (31-37 mph) in the city, 80-100 km/h (50-60 mph) on major highways and open roads.
• Seatbelts: It is compulsory for all inside the vehicle to be wearing a seatbelt.

The popular Moroccan city of Marrakech is just a 10-minute drive away from the airport. After settling into your hotel, it’s time to explore the maze-like streets of the medina quarter.

Wander around the city’s famous souks, take in majestic mosques and don’t miss visiting the Jemaa el-Fnaa square at the heart of the medina that is bustling with musicians, dancers, snake charmers and stall holders. This is the place to get an authentic Henna tattoo and try delicious Moroccan street food.

Take a step back in time at the Saadian Tombs where 15th and 16th century sultans were laid to rest. Also be sure to visit the Bahia Palace to admire ornate 19th century architecture and don't miss stepping inside one the city's Riads – traditional Moroccan homes characterised by cosy cave-like structures with interior courtyards – during your trip.

Another authentic experience to indulge in while in Marrakech is a visit to one of the city’s hammams for a massage or spa treatment.

There are many other sights to see within a short drive of Marrakech Airport and city centre. Embrace the freedom and flexibility of being able to drive between them and explore the incredible regional attractions on offer.

Menara Gardens

Just a 10-minute drive west of Marrakech, in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains, are the beautiful Menara Gardens. While the gardens were founded in the 12th century, the grand pavilion and manmade lake were added in the 16th century. Olive trees and orchards fill the scene making this a charming location to enjoy lunch or refreshments with a view at the on-site café.

Palmeraie

The Palmeraie is a 13,000-hectare oasis in the outskirts of Marrakech featuring thousands of palm trees, alongside luxury villas and upscale hotels. Camel rides and quad bike tours are popular pursuits to enjoy here.
This is also the site of the Musée de la Palmeraie – Marrakech’s newest museum where contemporary Moroccan art including paintings, photography and sculptures can be perused. Artists and writers can also be seen working in the surrounding gardens.
