The 23rd Marrakech International Film Festival takes place from 20 to 28 November 2026, at the Palais des Congrès and several venues across the city. Medina Transfers provides private drivers and vehicles in standard or VIP class for guests, professionals and festival-goers.
Getting to the venues
The Palais des Congrès stands on Avenue Mohammed VI, in Hivernage. It is about 15 minutes from Marrakech Menara Airport by car and open to traffic, so the driver drops you close to the entrance. Hotels in Hivernage and Gueliz are a few minutes away; from the Palmeraie allow 20 to 30 minutes.
What to plan during the festival
- Book the airport pick-up early. Arrivals concentrate on the opening days. Give your flight number: the driver follows it and waits 60 minutes after landing at no extra cost.
- Evening screenings. Ask for a driver at your disposal for the evening if you do not want to look for a taxi after a late session.
- Staying in the Medina. Cars stop at the gates. Agree the meeting point with the driver for the return.
Vehicles and drivers
- Standard or VIP. Standard vehicles take 1 to 7 or 8 to 17 passengers; VIP vehicles take up to 7.
- Airport transfers at a fixed price. From €20 in standard and €80 in VIP per vehicle for 1 to 7 passengers, between the airport and your hotel.
- Driver at your disposal. For a vehicle and driver by the half day, the day or the evening, describe your schedule under "Other destination" in the booking form and we send you the price.
- Several vehicles. For a delegation or a group arriving on different flights, send us the list of arrivals: we organise the pick-ups.
How to book
For airport transfers, use the booking form: the price is shown before you pay. For a driver at your disposal or several vehicles, choose Other destination and describe your programme. See all events in Marrakech.
