Wakha at a glance

Wakha (wakhatrip.com) is a free guide to Morocco for visitors: a way into the country for every reason people come, honest match-ups with other places, and what things really cost, each price with its sources and the date it was checked. Made by Tifawt Labs. In English, with pages in French, Spanish and Arabic.

About Wakha

What does "wakha" mean? It is Moroccan Arabic (Darija) for "yes, OK, let's go". The site's idea is to enjoy Morocco by saying yes: to the people, the tea, the detours and the conversations.

Where do Wakha's prices come from? From official tariffs and published sources first, then recent traveller reports. Each price shows a range in Moroccan dirhams (MAD), how many sources confirm it and the month it was checked. A price with one source is marked as such. Visitors can report what they paid; we read every report before a price changes.

Is Wakha free? Yes. There are no ads, no cookies and no paid listings.

Marrakech prices in one line each

How much is a taxi from Marrakech airport to Jemaa el-Fnaa? About 70–100 MAD by day and 120–150 MAD at night in a petit taxi. Agree the price before you get in. Sources and details.

Is there a bus from Marrakech airport? Yes, line 19 to Jemaa el-Fnaa and Gueliz, 30 MAD single, cash to the driver, roughly every 20–30 minutes from early morning to late evening. Sources and details.

Do Marrakech taxis use the meter? They're supposed to, but many drivers won't with visitors. Ask for the "compteur" and agree a price if they refuse. Sources and details.

Is there a night rate? Yes, about 50% more at night; sources disagree on whether it starts at 20:00 or 21:00. Sources and details.

How much is Jardin Majorelle? 170 MAD for foreign adults, online only at tickets.jardinmajorelle.com, with a timed slot. Sources and details.

How much is Bahia Palace? 100 MAD for foreign adults, 30 MAD for Moroccans and residents. Sources and details.

What should I bring to a local hammam? Black soap, a kessa glove, a towel, flip-flops and a change of underwear or swimwear. Many hammams sell soap and gloves at the door. Sources and details.

How can I tell if argan oil is real? Cosmetic oil is pale gold with a faint nutty smell and absorbs into the skin; culinary oil is darker with a strong toasted smell. A seller who won't let you smell it is a reason to leave. Sources and details.

How much should I haggle in Marrakech? Counter at about a third to a half of the first price and expect to settle at about half to two-thirds of it. Smile, take your time, and walk away if it doesn't feel right. Sources and details.

How much is orange juice on Jemaa el-Fnaa? About 4–10 MAD a glass; stalls post the price. Sources and details.

Shared or private? Shared tours are cheapest for one or two people; for four, a private car often costs about the same per person and you choose the stops. Sources and details.

Is tipping expected in Morocco? Yes, small cash tips are normal for service. Keep coins and 10 and 20 MAD notes handy. Sources and details.

Can I get dirhams before I travel? No, the dirham can't be bought outside Morocco. Change a little on arrival, and the rest in town or at an ATM. Sources and details.
