Is Morocco accessible for wheelchair users?

Morocco is challenging but not impossible for wheelchair users — the ancient medinas have narrow, uneven, crowded and often stepped lanes with few ramps, so independent access is hard, but with planning, a companion and the right accommodation and transport, a rewarding trip is achievable. The modern districts, some hotels and certain sights are far more manageable than the old towns.

Newer areas like Gueliz, modern hotels, the Al Boraq high-speed train and purpose-built attractions offer better access, while the historic medinas of Marrakech and Fes are the toughest terrain. Accessible taxis are scarce, so a pre-arranged adapted vehicle and driver makes a huge difference.
