Airport in Marrakesh

The Menara International Marrakesh Airport is located about 6kms outside the city of Marrakesh. Recently renovated to accommodate the growing numbers of visitors flying in and out of Morocco, the airport is now equipped to handle a capacity of 2.5 passengers, with the opening of a fourth terminal expected to push this number to a further 4 million.

Many complain that the queues are slow, but facilities are good and include currency exchange counters, tourist information, shopping options and a prayer room. Eating options are limited.

Getting to Marrakesh from the airport:

By Taxi:

Taxis are available outside the arrival terminal 24 hours, every day and take about 15 minutes to get you into town. Before getting into any cab, agree on a price! There are signs outside the terminal to guide what you should pay. Expect to pay around 50-80 Dirhams depending on where your destination is.

By Bus:

Bus number 19 runs every hour between the hours of 6am and 12:25 am and costs 20 Dirhams one way, 30 Dirhams for a round trip.  Bus number 11 takes you to Jemma el-Fna (The Medina) and runs every half hour, less frequently on Saturday or Sunday.
