Have a wonderful vacation with our tips for traveling with disabilities in Marrakech. The "Red City" captivates with its souks, majestic palaces, and rich cultural tapestry. This destination offers a surprising charm for accessible exploration. With a little preparation and these tips, you can create a truly unforgettable adventure.

1. Choose your riad wisely

Riads, traditional Moroccan guesthouses, often involve stairs as their historic design might not prioritize accessibility. Look for riads with ground-floor rooms or those offering step stools or ramps for easier access. Some places offer riads with accessibility features, ensuring a comfortable and hassle-free stay.

2. Explore by accessible taxi 

While Marrakech's public transportation system might not be fully accessible, pre-booking wheelchair-accessible taxis is a great option. Companies like Supratours ([invalid URL removed]) offer comfortable and reliable transportation to explore the city's key sites.

3. Find accessible landmarks

Some of Marrakech's iconic landmarks offer surprising accessibility. The Koutoubia Mosque offers a ramped entrance, and the Bahia Palace has designated accessible pathways through its courtyards. 

4. Hire a local guide

A knowledgeable local guide can significantly enhance your Marrakech experience. Look for guides who are familiar with accessible routes and can navigate the bustling medina with ease. They can also help with translating menus and recommending accessible shops and restaurants.

5. Enjoy Moroccan hospitality

Moroccans are renowned for their warmth and welcoming nature. Don't hesitate to ask for assistance at shops, restaurants, or tourist attractions. Many locals are happy to help navigate narrow streets, offer a hand with shopping bags, or recommend accessible experiences.
