Questions about this airport route.: Aït Ben Haddou
How long is the drive from Marrakech to Aït Ben Haddou?
About 3 hours 45 minutes for roughly 190 km. The Tizi n'Tichka pass is the slow section, and winter snow can occasionally add time.

Can you continue to Ouarzazate on the same booking?
Yes. Ouarzazate is 30 km further on. Ask when you book and we confirm one fare covering both, rather than two separate transfers.

From any hotel, villa or address with vehicle access. If your riad is inside the car-free Medina, we meet at the nearest gate or square and the riad can send a porter for your bags.
Can I pay in euros or Moroccan dirhams?
Yes. You can pay the driver after the journey in MAD or EUR. Card payment is available when arranged before travel.
Can I request a child seat?
Yes. Add the child's age before confirmation so we can fit the correct seat and assign a vehicle with room for it alongside your luggage.
