Frequently asked

How do you get from Casablanca to Marrakech?

The easiest way is the train — frequent departures from Casablanca take about three hours to Marrakech. A private transfer by road is similar in time and lets you stop en route.

Is 3 days enough for Casablanca and Marrakech together?

Yes for a taste of both — a day in Casablanca for the mosque and Art Deco centre, then two days in Marrakech for the medina, palaces and gardens. Add nights in Marrakech for an Atlas or desert excursion.
