Marrakesh to Ouarzazate (OZZ)

I need to go from Marrakesh to Ouarzazate as quickly, safely and cheaply as possible. My date of travel is Saturday November 13, 2004. I've been told there is no train and to fly I have to go out of Casablanca. My last option is to take the bus. I have been told it should be avoided, but...??? Help, please.

Hi.
I am not sure if my first message got through, because the connection was interrupted. Anyway I summarize what was written in it.
I own an eight-seater mercedes minibus.
It's licenced for transporting tourists. I can take you to Ouarzazate.
Email me at [email protected] and i'll send you the necessary information.
So long.

Hi, would you mind answering questions in this forum?
1) how many kilometers is the drive and long will it take? 2) are you also the driver? 3) how much will you charge? 4) do I have to match your schedule? if so, what is it? 5) will you still make the trip if all seats are not filled? thanks.

Hi
The distance is 200 km.
The time is 4 hours, since there are frequent scenic stops. the road is montanous.
I'll be the driver-guide. The usual price and the least for low season is 900 dirhams. You don't have to match my schedule, and it's the same price since it's a private trip.

I think 450 dirhams is more reasonable - please let me know if you are still interested.

Is there any reason why you should avoid the bus/coach? I've heard that the CTM coaches are air-conditioned and comfortable, with numbered seats and reliable schedules.

I have taken the bus in the opposite direction and it was fine, long though but not expensive.

I'm sorry but it's not a matter of bargaining. The trip will keep me busy all day long, and i can't load in ouarzazate for the back trip. we have a tariff we apply.
