The short answer

Yes, with a pre-booked transfer. Your driver tracks the flight, so a delay moves the pickup rather than cancelling it, and they meet you in arrivals with your name on a board whatever time you land. That is the main difference from a taxi rank, where you start again from scratch at whatever hour you get out.

In more detail

Flight tracking is built into our airport transfers. The driver watches the arrival time, not the time on the booking, so a two-hour delay or an early landing is handled without you sending a message from the plane.

Late-night arrivals are where this matters most. The medina is quiet after dark, lanes are harder to read, and a tired first walk with bags is not how anyone wants to start. A driver who knows your riad parks at the nearest point and walks you, or hands your bags to a porter, to the door.

If your flight is cancelled or rebooked for another day, tell us on WhatsApp with the new flight number and we move the pickup.

Good to know

  • Give us your flight number, not only the time, when you book.
  • Keep WhatsApp on your phone; it is how we reach you in arrivals.
  • Tell your riad your landing time too, so someone is up to let you in.
