Car hire: this remains the most flexible way of exploring Marrakech and its surroundings and for organising excursions. We work with a few reliable car rental firms offering reasonable prices (35 to 45 euros per day, according to season). Contact us if you wish to have your rented car or four-wheel drive available at the airport on your arrival.

"Big taxis": if you do not wish to hire a car, then for a modest sum (6/10 euros) you can use a "big taxi" which will take you, on request, to and from Marrakech. You can reserve this for the day to visit the surrounding area. We have selected for you a few "big taxi" partners who know Dar Zarraba well.

"Little taxis": these are authorised to circulate only in the centre of Marrakech. They are numerous and inexpensive and will enable you to get around easily within the town. We know a few who will willingly show you the town, including it’s more authentic neighbourhoods which are less frequently visited by tourists.

On request, we can meet you at the airport. We shall help you take possession of your rented car if you wish for one, and shall accompany you to Dar Zarraba where you shall be welcomed with mint tea.

Breakfast: you can take this on your patio in the sun, or in the lounge with friends. You can sample the village bread cooked on a wood fire, and traditional pancakes.

Evening meal: our intention is to share with you the village’s authenticity. Each morning, you reserve your meal to be enjoyed at the traditional house kept by the women of the village. You will be welcomed here with authentic couscous and tajines which have simmered for hours on the embers.

If you decide to head south, we can recommend houses of friends who, like us, care for and respect the authenticity of places and their people.
