Getting Around
Navigating Marrakech with your pet.
One of the biggest anxieties of pet travel is local transit. Here's everything you need to know before you land.
Public Transit
Marrakech has no public transit suitable for pet travel. Petit taxis (fixed-route) and grands taxis (private hire) are widely used. Careem operates in the city.
Private Cars
Our Marrakech network of private hire drivers covers the medina, Guéliz, Palmeraie, and airport. All briefed on ONSSA health certificate presentation at checkpoints.
On Foot
Guéliz and the Menara gardens are best explored on foot. We map the medina's dog-permissible routes — many souks are accessible with a well-behaved dog on a short lead.
Private Ground Transport
Climate-controlled, GPS-tracked fleet. Seamless door-to-door service between cities or to your final destination.
