How to get there and get back
The address and its spellings
The address is 170 Riad Zitoun Kedim, Marrakech. You will also see Riad Zitoun Kdim and Riad Zitoun Lakdim on maps and listings. They point to the same street. Save the pin and a screenshot of the map, because phone signal and GPS can wobble among high walls.
For opening times and the map link, see opening hours, address and map. For the show itself, start from the Dar Essalam dinner show guide.
Three ways to arrive
| Option | How it works | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Walk | About 7–10 minutes from Jemaa el-Fnaa | Narrow lanes, scooters, uneven paving; follow the map |
| Petit taxi | Ask for Riad Zitoun Kedim or Bahia Palace | Cars often cannot enter the lanes; agree the fare or ask for the meter |
| Hotel or riad help | Ask your host to arrange transport | Not included in the option we reviewed |
Walking time depends on your starting point and the crowds.
Petit taxis: practical notes
- Petit taxis are the small city taxis. Locally they carry up to three passengers.
- Ask for the meter, or agree the price before you get in. A night surcharge is common.
- Ask for the Bahia Palace area if the driver does not know the street, then follow your map for the last stretch.
Getting back at night
The medina is usually busy in the evening, but lanes near the restaurant can be quiet late on. Ask the restaurant staff to call a taxi or to point you to the nearest taxi stand. If you walk back to Jemaa el-Fnaa, keep to the main routes and stay aware of scooters.
Planning the day around the dinner
Bahia Palace is nearby and opens during the day, so it pairs well with an evening here. Jemaa el-Fnaa, the main square, is a UNESCO-listed cultural space and is a natural starting or finishing point.
