  {
   "question": "Can you pick us up inside the Marrakech medina?",
   "answer": "Cars cannot enter most lanes of the medina. We pick you up at the closest point a vehicle can reach, usually a square or gate a few minutes from your riad. Many riads send someone to walk you there; we agree the exact spot with you before the day."
  },
  {
   "question": "How long can the driver wait for us?",
   "answer": "As long as you need, within the day. You tell us roughly how many hours you plan to stay (a walk to the waterfalls and lunch usually fills most of the day) and the driver waits in the valley. If plans change, just call or message him."
  },
  {
   "question": "Can you collect us at Marrakech airport and take us straight to our lodge?",
   "answer": "Yes: 100 EUR one way from Marrakech, 120 EUR one way from the airport, 120 EUR for a same-day return with the driver waiting, per vehicle for 1 to 7 people, 200 EUR for 8 to 17. Send us your flight number and arrival time, and the driver will follow the flight and meet you in the arrivals hall. Tell us how many bags you have so we choose a vehicle with enough space."
  },
  {
   "question": "Do you have child seats?",
   "answer": "Tell us the age of each child when you book and we will tell you honestly what we can provide for that date. If you need a specific seat, bringing your own is the safest option."
  },
  {
   "question": "Can we stop on the way?",
   "answer": "Yes. This is your vehicle for the day. Short stops for photos, a pottery workshop, a mint tea or a cooperative are part of the pleasure. If you want a planned programme, with a local guide as an option, our day trip is built for that."
  },
  {
   "question": "How much does a private transfer cost and how do we pay?",
   "answer": "100 EUR one way from Marrakech, 120 EUR one way from the airport, 120 EUR for a same-day return with the driver waiting, per vehicle for 1 to 7 people, 200 EUR for 8 to 17. If you go up to a lodge and come back on another day, each transfer is charged separately at this price. You pay online with PayPal or a bank card via PayPal. Cancellation is free up to 7 days before. For more than 17 people, contact us."

 "content_markdown": "The private transfer to the Ourika Valley is a car or minivan with driver between Marrakech and any point on the valley road: Tnine Ourika, Aghbalou, Setti Fatma or a lodge. Pickup is at a hotel or riad in Marrakech, or at Marrakech airport (RAK). The drive to Setti Fatma, about 60-65 km, takes about 1 hour to 1 hour 30. The transfer can be one way, or a same-day return with the driver waiting in the valley; a return on another day is a second transfer, charged separately. Included: a vehicle for one group only, fuel and a driver who speaks French, English and Spanish. Meals, entry fees and tips are not included. The price is 100 EUR one way from Marrakech, 120 EUR one way from the airport, 120 EUR for a same-day return with the driver waiting, per vehicle for 1 to 7 people and 200 EUR for 8 to 17, paid online with PayPal or by card via PayPal, with instant confirmation. Cancellation is free up to 7 days before.\n\nOur drivers live in and around the valley and make this drive almost every day. A private transfer is the simplest way to reach the Ourika Valley when you want to keep your own rhythm: no meeting point, no strangers to wait for, and a vehicle that goes exactly where you are going.\n\n## Where do we pick you up and where can we take you?\n\nWe collect you at your hotel, riad or holiday rental anywhere in Marrakech, including the Palmeraie, Hivernage, Gueliz and the road to the airport. If your riad is inside the medina, the pickup point is the nearest place a vehicle can reach, as close to your door as possible. Pickup or drop-off at Marrakech airport (RAK) is possible at any time: 100 EUR one way from Marrakech, 120 EUR one way from the airport, 120 EUR for a same-day return with the driver waiting, per vehicle for 1 to 7 people and 200 EUR for 8 to 17, which is handy if you are going straight to a lodge in the valley after your flight.\n\nIn the valley we drive to any point on the road:\n\n- **Tnine Ourika**, the small town at the entrance of the valley, about 30 km from Marrakech, known for its Monday souk.\n- **Aghbalou**, where the road to Oukaïmeden branches off, and where several guesthouses stand along the river.\n- **Setti Fatma**, the last village on the road at about 1,500 m, starting point of the walk to the [waterfalls of Setti Fatma](https://ourika-valley.com/services/conquer-the-cascades-of-setti-fatma/).\n- **Your lodge, gîte or restaurant**, wherever it is on the valley road. Some places sit up a short track: send us the name or a map pin and we check access before the day.\n\nIf you are staying overnight, our page on [where to stay in the Ourika Valley](https://ourika-valley.com/where-to-stay-in-ourika-valley/) explains the different areas.\n\n## One way or return with waiting time\n\n**One way** is for travellers moving into a lodge in the valley, or coming back to Marrakech after a stay. We carry your luggage and drop you at the door (or at the end of the track). If you stay in the valley and come back on another day, the drive up and the drive back are two transfers, and each is charged separately: 100 EUR one way from Marrakech, 120 EUR one way from the airport, 120 EUR for a same-day return with the driver waiting, per vehicle for 1 to 7 people, 200 EUR for 8 to 17.\n\n**Return with waiting time**, on the same day, is the most popular choice for day visitors, at 120 EUR per vehicle for 1 to 7 people. The driver takes you up in the morning, waits in the valley while you walk, eat and explore, then drives you back to your hotel. You decide the departure time and roughly how long you want to stay. A typical day at Setti Fatma, with the walk to the first waterfalls and lunch by the river, fills most of the day, so plan a morning start.\n\nYou can also combine places: a stop at the [Anima Garden](https://ourika-valley.com/services/anima-garden/) on the way up, an [argan oil cooperative](https://ourika-valley.com/services/womens-argan-oil-cooperative/) run by women, a potter's workshop, then Setti Fatma. Tell us your wishes when you book so we can check that the timing works.\n\n## Vehicles\n\nOur vehicles are always private to your group:\n\n- **A car** for couples and small groups travelling light.\n- **A minivan** for families, groups of friends, or anyone with bulky luggage, pushchairs or hiking gear.\n- **A minibus** for groups of 8 to 17 people.\n\nThe price depends only on the size of the group: 100 EUR one way from Marrakech, 120 EUR one way from the airport, 120 EUR for a same-day return with the driver waiting, per vehicle for 1 to 7 people, 200 EUR for 8 to 17. We choose the vehicle once we know how many you are and what you carry, so please mention suitcases and any large items when you book.\n\n## Private transfer or guided day trip?\n\nA private transfer is transport: your driver knows the road and can suggest a restaurant or a stop, but does not guide you on foot, although we can arrange a local guide at Setti Fatma. For a same-day return, the vehicle costs the same as on our [Ourika Valley day trip](https://ourika-valley.com/day-trip-ourika-valley/), 120 EUR for 1 to 7 people and 200 EUR for 8 to 17: if you would rather have everything organised, the day trip adds a set programme with the cooperative visit, and lunch and a valley guide as options chosen at booking. On a tight budget, a seat on our [shared excursion](https://ourika-valley.com/services/shared-transport-ourika-valley/) costs 25 EUR per person with lunch included.\n\n## Practical tips from our drivers\n\n- **Start early in summer.** In July and August, afternoon thunderstorms can build over the mountains. Our drivers watch the sky and the river, and we may suggest leaving the riverbank earlier if a storm is coming.\n- **Weekends are busier.** Families from Marrakech come up to the river on Saturdays and Sundays and on public holidays. The road near Setti Fatma is slower, and parking fills. A weekday is calmer.\n- **Bring cash.** Riverside restaurants, guides in Setti Fatma and small shops generally work in cash (dirhams), so take enough with you from Marrakech.\n- **Wear real shoes** if you plan to walk to the falls. Sandals slip on wet rock.\n- **Keep your driver's number.** He shares his WhatsApp at pickup, so you can tell him when you are ready to go down.\n\nFor a complete comparison of grand taxis, rental cars, tours and private drivers, read our guide on [how to get to the Ourika Valley](https://ourika-valley.com/services/getting-to-ourika-valley/).\n\n## How do you book a private transfer?\n\nThe transfer costs 100 EUR one way from Marrakech, 120 EUR one way from the airport, 120 EUR for a same-day return with the driver waiting, per vehicle for 1 to 7 people and 200 EUR for 8 to 17 people, from your hotel, your riad or the airport. You book on our [booking page](https://ourika-valley.com/appointments/) and pay online with PayPal or a bank card via PayPal; the confirmation email arrives at once. With your booking, tell us:\n\n1. The date and your preferred pickup time.\n2. Your pickup address in Marrakech (or flight number for an airport pickup).\n3. Where you want to go in the valley, one way or return.\n4. The number of adults and children, and your luggage.\n\nFor more than 17 people, or if you have a question before paying, write to us on WhatsApp (+212 755 700 484) or at booking@ourika-valley.com. Free cancellation applies up to 7 days before the trip. If weather or river conditions make the valley unsafe, we propose another date or a full refund.",
