Marrakech to Ouarzazate, the comfortable way.
What does the trip from Marrakech to Ouarzazate actually involve? 200 km, around 4 hours of driving by way of Aït Benhaddou, and a change of scene from the Haouz plain to the southern side of the High Atlas.
Who makes the Marrakech to Ouarzazate trip
Why this trip? Marrakech is the country's main hub, so people leave it for almost everything — the coast after a few city days, the Atlas and the desert on a tour, or another imperial city. As for Ouarzazate, people come for the kasbahs, film-set tours and as the overnight stop that splits long drives to the desert.
The road from Marrakech to Ouarzazate
South-east of Marrakech the N9 climbs the High Atlas through Berber villages and walnut groves to the Tizi n'Tichka pass at 2,260 m, then descends into the stony south to the Aït Benhaddou turn-off. From Aït Benhaddou it is a short run across the plateau past the Atlas film studios into Ouarzazate. Good places to break the drive: the Tizi n'Tichka pass, the argan and walnut terraces around Taddert and the Atlas film studios.
Arriving in Ouarzazate
Ouarzazate is the gateway town to the Moroccan south — home to the Taourirt kasbah, the Atlas film studios and the Noor solar plant, at 1,100 m on a stony plateau. Wide boulevards and drive-up hotels; kasbah guesthouses outside town can be down short dirt tracks.
Before you go
Once you are in Ouarzazate, the Skoura palmery and the Dades gorge are the natural next legs east. Big day-night temperature swings; winter mornings can be close to freezing. The return leg, Ouarzazate to Marrakech, has its own page and the same per-vehicle pricing.
Private car, coach, grand taxi or train?
The fastest way from Marrakech to Ouarzazate is a private transfer: about 4 h door to door for a fixed €126 for the whole vehicle. The coach is cheaper per person but adds a transfer at each end and roughly an hour of waiting; a shared grand taxi only leaves once six seats are sold.
| Option | Typical price | Journey time | Door to door | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Private transfer (Bacharide) | from €126 per vehicle | 4 h | Yes | Fixed fare for the whole car, hotel-door pickup, luggage and child seats included, flight tracked. |
| CTM / Supratours coach | ~€15 per person | 5 h 60 | No | Cheapest option, but fixed departure times, station-to-station, and luggage is charged by the bag. |
| Shared grand taxi | ~€20 per seat | 4 h 30 | No | Leaves only when six seats are sold. No seatbelts in the rear, no boot space for large cases. |
| Self-drive hire car | ~€55 per day + fuel | 4 h 15 | Yes | Flexible, but you handle the mountain passes, city parking and the deposit hold. |
Coach, grand taxi and rail figures are typical published fares and timings for Moroccan operators (CTM, Supratours, ONCF) and vary by season. Only the Bacharide fare is fixed and quoted at booking.
