Please provide the name of your accommodations so that we can arrange a pick-up point. For hotels and Riads located inside of the Medina we will provide a pick-up point as close to your accommodations as possible - travel via vehicle is not possible directly in the medina.

For this reason it is important you provide us with a working phone number (including country code) that allows us to contact you via WhatsApp.
