The figures at a glance
Road distance and driving time, from our base in Gueliz and from Marrakech Menara airport, and the price of a transfer by minivan, for 1 to 7 travellers. The price is the same from the airport or from any district of Marrakech.
| Destination | From Gueliz | From the airport | Minivan, 1 to 7 travellers |
|---|---|---|---|
| Essaouira | 182 km, 2 hr 37 | 185 km, 2 hr 43 | 197 EUR (2,145 DH) |
| Casablanca | 240 km, 2 hr 47 | 246 km, 2 hr 55 | 288 EUR (3,135 DH) |
| Casablanca Mohammed V Airport | 226 km, 2 hr 37 | 232 km, 2 hr 45 | 258 EUR (2,805 DH) |
| Agafay desert | 27 km, 33 min | 22 km, 28 min | 137 EUR (1,485 DH) |
| Rabat | 319 km, 3 hr 36 | 325 km, 3 hr 44 | 424 EUR (4,620 DH) |

Driving time without stops or traffic, calculated on the fastest road route. Price per vehicle, for the whole group, taxes included.
Why distances differ from one website to another
Three things change the figure, without either one being wrong: the starting point, the arrival point and how the distance is measured. From Jemaa el-Fna square, from Gueliz or from the airport, the count does not start at the same place. Casablanca means either the city centre (240 km by road from Gueliz) or Mohammed V airport (226 km), which lies south of the city.
The third cause is the most misleading: the straight-line distance. Between Gueliz and central Casablanca, it is 221 km; by road, 240 km. A figure of 130 km, which sometimes appears, therefore matches no possible journey: it is shorter than the straight line between the two cities. For Essaouira, the straight line is 167 km and the road 182 km from Gueliz, 185 km from the airport.
For a transfer, only the road distance from your address matters: it is what the vehicle drives, and it is what we give here.
How much time to allow
The times above are calculated driving times, without stops or traffic. On the road, allow more: depending on the time of day when entering the large cities, and for a break on long journeys. If you have a train, a flight or an appointment on arrival, keep a margin.
- Agafay desert: 33 min from Gueliz, 28 min from the airport. The last part is on a track, and the camps are spread out: the time depends on the camp.
- Essaouira: 2 hr 37 from Gueliz, 2 hr 43 from the airport.
- Casablanca: 2 hr 47 to the centre, 2 hr 37 to Mohammed V airport, from Gueliz.
- Rabat: 3 hr 36 to the centre, 3 hr 50 to Rabat-Sale airport, from Gueliz.
Prices per vehicle
The price of a transfer is per vehicle, not per person: it is the same for one traveller or for seven in a minivan. The table gives the one-way price, in euros (payment is made in euros), and in dirhams, the reference currency of our price list.

Same-day return
