Transport
Transport: Marrakech is easily explored on foot. The city consists of the
Medina (old town) and the Ville Nouvelle (new city), approximately
four kilometres apart. Beige-coloured petits taxis are
cheap with metered fares and are a good form of transportation
between the two destinations if it is too hot to walk. Taxis can be
hailed on the streets. Public buses are a bit of a free-for-all,
but they are cheap, frequent and cover the entire city. Driving in
the city of Marrakech is difficult unless you know your way around
and is not recommended, considering the narrow alleyways of the
central urban medina area. The coach bus stations (CMS and
Supratours) are situated in the new city and cover routes between
cities and towns. Mercedes Benz sedans are called grands
taxis and are another alternative for getting to neighbouring
towns.
