Morning Pickup in Marrakech & Departure Toward the Mountains The day starts quietly in Marrakech. Around 8:30 AM, we meet our travelers at the final pickup point — ready for a full day of discovery. As soon as we leave the city behind, the landscape begins to change. We take the scenic road south, where the hustle of Marrakech fades into wide-open plains and fresh air.
