Car rental Marrakesh-Safi

Drive Along the Atlantic Coast

Take a road trip along the stunningly beautiful Atlantic coastline, stopping at the beach town of Essaouira, famous for its well-preserved medina and vibrant fishing harbour.

Driving in Morocco

Driving in Morocco is an experience in itself. Be prepared for a different set of traffic rules than in the UK. On the left-hand side of the road, speed limits are typically 60 km/h in cities and 120 km/h on highways. A valid UK driver’s licence is sufficient to drive in Morocco.

Discover Safi

Your road trip along the coast should end in the city of Safi. Known for its vibrant pottery industry, Safi also boasts an impressive old town, beautiful beaches, and atmospheric seafood restaurants.

The Moroccan Landscape

With the High Atlas mountains in the backdrop, the Marrakesh-Safi region also offers a varied and awe-inspiring landscape. From the snow-capped peaks to the drought-proof argania tree, driving across the region promises to be a visual treat.

Climate and Best Time to Visit

Marrakesh-Safi is characterized by a Mediterranean climate with mild, wet winters and hot, dry summers. The most pleasant times to visit are spring (April to June) and autumn (September to November).

Local currency

The currency used in Morocco is the Moroccan Dirham (MAD), and it's useful to have some on hand for smaller purchases. Credit cards are accepted in most places, but having some cash could be handy, especially in the souks.
