Noir D'Ivoire
Getting there
- Planes From the UK and elsewhere in Europe, British Airways (www.ba.com), Royal Air Maroc (www.royalairmaroc.com), EasyJet (www.easyjet.com) and Ryanair (www.ryanair.com) fly into Marrakech’s Menara Airport. Taxis to the city centre cost around €12 – make sure you agree a price before setting off to avoid being overcharged.
- Trains The Moroccan state railway, ONCF (www.oncf.ma), runs inexpensive (but limited) services to Marrakech from Casablanca, Fez and Tangier. Look for TCR (Train Climatisé Rapide) trains to guarantee an air-conditioned journey in summer. You’ll find plenty of taxis waiting at the city’s charming, if slightly run-down, station on Avenue Hassan II.
- Automobiles Driving and parking in the congested centre of Marrakech and parking can both prove to be difficult. If you do want to hire a car, there are Avis (www.avis.com) and Hertz (www.hertz.com) rental desks at the airport. To reach the hotel, follow Avenue de la Menara into the city centre.
