Getting There

Car
From any location in the Saharan region, head towards Marrakesh. If you're coming from the south, use the N9 road which connects to the N10 and leads to Marrakesh. Once you reach Marrakesh, navigate to the Medina area. Look for signs directing you to the historic center. Use GPS coordinates (31.6373608, -7.9898706) for accurate navigation. Upon entering the Medina, follow the roads leading to Bab Taghzoute, and park at a nearby parking facility as car access is limited in the narrow streets.

Take a bus or shared taxi from your current location to Marrakesh. Buses run frequently from major towns in the Sahara. Once you arrive in Marrakesh, head to the bus station or the main taxi stand. From there, you can catch a local taxi to the Medina. It's advisable to agree on a fare beforehand (typically around 20-50 MAD depending on distance). Once in the Medina, ask locals for directions to Bab Taghzoute, or use the GPS coordinates provided to guide you.
