Hi,

I and my wife are invited to to Marrakesh for 7 nights, our host will be with us in Marrakesh for 2 nights, then he will leave to Spain to meet his family. and we are staying at his place while he is a way. My question is how can I get a driver and a car for 5days, we plan to go on day trips to Ouarzazate, Essaoura, Ouzoud waterfalls,Ourika and toubkal for 1 night and comeback to Marrakesh on the 5th day.

We are leaving next Friday. so any suggestion is really appreciated

You should check out the distances. It maybe difficult to do daytrips. Marrakesh to Ouazarzate is 2.5-2.75 hrs and Marrakesh to Essouria is about 2.5 hours.

From Marrakech to Ouarzazate : 4 Hours minimum by the bends of Tizi N'tishka pass.
From Marrakech to Essaouira: 3 Hours.
i'd suggest Imlil_ Ouzoud Falls,Ouirigan, Ourika Valley those the are the destinations could suggest for day trips from Marrakech Essaouira can be done at the end of your trip, because it's a chilling Town to enjoy the Coast.

Thanks for the extra help, but I don't really mind distance, this is a chance also to see things along the way to each destination.

Beside the suggest given in the first post, does anyone have experience with Youssef Aitha, I got his name as a reference from some previous forum conversation.

He responded quickly to my emails and answered the question I asked him, but I'm a bit discouraged to go ahead and book. I'm still open to more suggestion in order to compare prices.
