Which route does the transfer follow?

The usual route follows the N9 from Marrakech across the High Atlas Mountains via the Tizi n’Tichka pass, then continues towards Ouarzazate. The driver may adjust the journey if road conditions require it. The map shows representative city-centre locations rather than your exact accommodation.

Is this a private transfer or a shared shuttle?

This is a private one-way transfer. Your vehicle and driver are reserved for your booking and are not shared with unrelated passengers. The advertised fare is €29 per person.

Where can I be picked up in Marrakech?

Pickup is arranged at your confirmed Marrakech hotel, riad meeting point, residence or another accessible address. For a riad in a pedestrian-only medina street, the team confirms the nearest practical vehicle meeting point. Request airport or railway-station pickup in advance so the location and timing can be confirmed.

Where does the transfer finish in Ouarzazate?

The transfer ends at your confirmed Ouarzazate hotel, riad, residence or another accessible drop-off address. Share the property name and location before booking. Addresses outside the agreed drop-off area require a separate arrangement.

Is a visit to Aït Ben Haddou included?

No. The standard service is a direct transfer to Ouarzazate. A visit to the UNESCO-listed Ksar of Aït Ben Haddou requires a detour and additional time. Request it before booking so the team can confirm the extra cost. Entry fees and a local guide, where applicable, are separate.

What is included in the €29-per-person transfer?

The transfer includes one-way private transportation, an air-conditioned vehicle, a professional driver, pickup and drop-off at the two confirmed accessible addresses, standard luggage within the confirmed vehicle capacity and WhatsApp coordination before departure.

What is not included?

The standard transfer excludes a return journey, meals, drinks, personal expenses, optional gratuities, sightseeing visits, entrance fees and unconfirmed detours, extra stops or waiting time. Additional or oversized luggage must be declared before confirmation.

Can we stop for photos or refreshments?

Ask about any stops when arranging your transfer. A stop depends on road conditions, safe parking and the agreed schedule. Longer stops and sightseeing detours are not automatically included and may add to the price and journey time.

How much luggage can we bring?

Luggage space depends on your group size and the assigned vehicle. Send the number of suitcases and cabin bags before confirmation. Pushchairs, wheelchairs, bicycles and other oversized items must be declared so the team can check capacity.

Can I request a child seat?

Request a child seat before confirming your transfer and provide the child’s age and the seat type needed. The team must confirm availability and any applicable charge; do not assume a seat will be available without prior arrangement.

Can weather affect the High Atlas crossing?

Yes. The route crosses a mountain pass, where rain, snow, fog or roadworks can cause delays or temporary restrictions. Departure arrangements may need to change if the road is affected. Allow extra time if you have an onward connection.

How do I confirm my booking or arrange a return?

Send your travel date, preferred pickup time, passenger count, luggage details and both addresses to Morocco Smoothly Travel. The team confirms availability and the final arrangements. A WhatsApp enquiry alone does not confirm the booking. A return transfer must be booked separately.

What is the cancellation policy?

Ask for the cancellation and waiting-time terms before confirming your booking. The applicable conditions are provided with your confirmation, including any charges for late cancellation, no-shows or substantial schedule changes.
