Arriving at Marrakesh Menara Airport requires swift passage through security and customs - passport control may become busy very quickly! For optimal results, arrive well in advance.

Once through security, you must find your gate. Options available to you may include shuttle buses and taxi services.

Taxis may be costly, but they're an easy and quick way to reach downtown Marrakech. Make sure to negotiate a fair price with your driver, and check that the meter is active before entering a cab.

How to Get From Marrakech Menara Airport to Marrakech Center

Getting from Marrakech Menara Airport to the city center has multiple options available to it. One is taking an ALSA bus service which departs every 30 minutes between 06.00 and 23.30 (from 06.00 to 23.30) from outside the airport terminal and drops you off in front of Jemaa el Fna Square for just 3 euros and 20 minutes journey time.

An alternative option to public transit is hiring a private taxi, which offers the added benefit of safety and convenience when traveling from airport to city center hotel. However, private taxi services can be pricey; therefore if traveling with multiple groups it may be more cost-effective to opt for private transfer service that takes you directly from airport to hotel without stopping along the way.

Taxis are a convenient and economical way to travel between airport and city center, but it's essential that you negotiate the price before getting in. Aim for less than 100 MAD as an acceptable fee and remember to tip your driver when you arrive!

To save money, another way is to negotiate a fixed rate with your taxi driver instead of using the meter. Official rates tend to be affordable; you should be able to reach an agreement for something that won't exceed 10 euros per ride.

One way to save money when transporting yourself from the airport to Medina is to walk out to the roundabout and catch a taxi headed there already. While not the cheapest option, this taxi may still be less costly than taking an ALSA bus ride and you won't risk becoming lost in Medina city center.

If you want to save some cash, another cost-cutting measure would be taking an airport shuttle bus from the airport directly into town - although please be aware that they do not allow enough room for luggage.

Alternately, from the airport you could walk to the main square and hire a shared grand taxi that will transport you directly to Medina - this would likely be cheaper but take much longer.

Medina offers many hotels and riads, making navigation relatively straightforward. As many are located along narrow streets that may prove challenging to traverse, we recommend asking someone from within the community for guidance when exploring.

Rent a car from the airport for one or two days to explore Marrakech's surrounding countryside and take advantage of all its attractions.

Although Marrakech is generally safe, it's wise to exercise extra caution when walking on public areas at night, particularly during evening hours. Taxi drivers have been known to target tourists in city center areas by demanding large sums of money for rides.
