Arriving at a Medina Riad? Your KechGo driver pre-contacts your host before landing, meets official luggage porters at your drop-off gate, and includes 60 minutes free delay wait time. Fixed €29 (290 MAD) Rate.
Covering over 13,000 hectares of palm groves, olive orchards, and luxury villa estates north of the city center, La Palmeraie is Marrakech’s premier luxury resort enclave. Home to world-class 5-star golf resorts, all-inclusive family club properties, private palaces, and boutique spa retreats, Palmeraie offers an oasis of calm away from the bustling Medina.
When landing at Marrakech Menara Airport (RAK), arranging a pre-booked private transfer to Palmeraie is essential. Because Palmeraie is located approximately 12 to 16 kilometers (7 to 10 miles) from the airport terminals, public buses do not provide direct service, and street taxi drivers often charge exorbitant rates to tourist resorts.
