Travel by road
Summary:
Morocco has a good road network that connects its major cities, including the Casablanca-Marrakech-Agadir expressway that reduces travelling time among these cities significantly.
The minimum age to drive is 18 years old, and an International Driving Permit is always recommended. Traffic drives on the right side of the road and speed limits are 60kph (37mph) in urban areas and 100-120kph (62-75mph) on expressways.
Due to congestion in Marrakech, tourists are encouraged to park at the hotel and use local transportation to get around the city.
