Marrakech by vintage side-car
The signature experience, and it comes at a price: sat in the sidecar of a vintage motorbike, guided by an enthusiast, you head off the standard circuits, from medina to Guéliz and the palm grove. Not a monument tour but a ride - expensive but memorable.
A vintage motorbike with a sidecar, an enthusiast at the wheel, and you sat in the side-car: this is the most singular - and priciest - way to take on Marrakech. You do not tick monuments off. You head off the standard circuits, wind in your face, to feel the town.
The spirit is a private, tailor-made ride. The insider drives, tells stories and adjusts the route: medina alleys, Mellah and Kasbah, Art Deco Guéliz avenues, palm-grove tracks. You stop for photos, and the three-hour format adds a tea stop in a riad and the Bab El Khemis flea market.
Let us be clear on the price: from about £93 (and a fair bit more depending on the format and the season), this is one of the priciest activities in town. You pay for the private setup, the vintage machine and the experience - not a number of entries, which are not included anyway. It is a photogenic interlude, not a history class.
For the same urge to see the town differently, but on a tight budget, the tuk-tuk links the monuments without walking. And the medina also runs by e-scooter or by bike.
