Marrakech is a well known hub in Africa and as such, is very well served by a wide range of standard and low cost companies from across the globe.

On top of being Skyteam’s most beautiful airport in the world, Marrakech Menara is therefore within easy and affordable distance from Europe as well as the world.

Taxis are the very cheap and practical option to move around. Look for the numerous beige-coloured small ones (the so-called bigger vehicles are more expensive). A 30 MAD fare (about 2,6 euros) should get you covered. Ask for the counter and expect a little bargaining.

To choose your hotel or Airbnb: We recommend you go for either Gueliz, Marrakech central and trendy area with a wide range of services and entertainment close or the Medina if you are up to stay in a riad. Bear in mind that the medina is an urban ensemble which you must learn to navigate, complete with charming and intricates streets.

Either way, you will have to reach the venue using shuttle or taxis. But fear not, more info will come on this topic which will make the experience smooth. You will be all set!

Diwane Hotel is in Gueliz, the beating heart of Marrakech with great art galleries and open air street art around, right next to The Spot, Marrakech coolest coworking space. Dive into the pool in the morning before the conference or after a long day of museum-ing. Also, we got you a discounted offer at the spa if you feel like treating yourself: a VIP package including a hammam session, exfoliating (with complimentary glove), clay body wrap and a 45-minute relaxing massage with Argan oil comes at 35 euros only for WAM participants.
