Transportation to Marrakech City Center from Airport
Marrakesh Menara Airport
Marrakech, which is one of the most developed and crowded cities of Morocco, has the characteristic of being the country's first capital before Rabat. The city takes attention with its historical structure and cultural richness. The city, which also has the most advanced trade networks of Africa and the country, is one of the most attractive tourist destinations of the country.
Marrakech is a city settled on the lower slopes of the Atlas Mountains. The city is located almost in the middle of the country. The city is composed of two regions, Medina (old city) and Ville Nouvella (new city), both of which are easily reached by certain means of transportation. In Marrakech, the vehicles offering service in urban transportation are operating very punctually. The fact that the highways are modern and ordered has also a big influence on this.
Means of urban transportation are also extremely comfortable and affordable in terms of the ticket prices. In Marrakech, buses, taxis and shared cars offer service in urban transportation. The fact that the city is not large in terms of the surface area also offers the opportunity to use vehicles such as motorcycles and bicycles. Using train is a common option throughout the country, but the trains under the management of ONFC company do not provide urban transportation services. While the train provides an intercity transportation service, the train route also passing through Marrakech carries passengers to Casablanca, Tangier, Rabat and Fez.
The bus is the most convenient means of public transportation in urban transportation. All buses offering service in the city belong to ALSAR company. The buses are very well maintained and modern. You can take advantage of the buses with your ticket that you will buy by paying 4 dirhams. It is possible to get your ticket in the bus.
You can also evaluate the taxi option if you don’t want to use the buses. These taxis, called petit taxis, do not have the authority to get out of the city. So, if you want to get out of the city during your visit, you might get a negative response. If you will travel in the city by taxi, you should pay minimum 10 - 15 dirhams. You can try to bargain with the taxi drivers in order not to pay more.
Minibus taxis are more profitable than petit taxis. Ticket prices for minibus taxis that follow a certain route vary between 2 and 4 dirhams. It is possible to reach the two regions of the city by using these minibus taxis. Menara Airport is the only and official airport in Marrakech. There are not many options for the transportation to the city center from the airport which is located in the west of the city center. Passengers landing at the airport prefer taxis and buses to reach the city center.
Car rental is another option that can be used to reach the city center. Marrakech Railway Station is 2 km of the airport. but passengers do not have a chance to reach the city center by train because they only provide intercity transportation. About 10 km. It is possible to reach the city center from Menara Airport, which is 10 km of the city center, in about 30 - 40 minutes.
Bus
If you are not in a hurry and have enough time to get to the city center from the airport, bus is the most convenient option. The Spanish bus company ALSA, which offers service in the city, also provides service for carrying passengers to the city center. Bus route 19 is the only bus you can use to get to the city center. It is also very easy to reach this bus. You can see the bus stop just outside of the airport. Bus route 19 offers easy and comfortable transportation service to Marrakech's regions called the new city and the old city.

Bus route 19 offers service 7 days a week and it operates from 06:15 am to 09:30 pm. If you will choose getting on a bus to reach the city center, you have to be at the airport between these hours. Another advantage of the buses offering easy transportation thanks to the bus stops in the central districts of the city is that they are cheaper than the taxis.
Taxi
Another option you can evaluate for travelling to the city center from Marrakech Airport is the taxi. The taxis are waiting for their passengers just outside of the airport. Those who don’t want to use the bus option can have a comfortable and quick travel by taxi. When we consider that there are not many options to get to the city center, taxi is a very good alternative for those who have limited time. However, don’t forget that the amount you will pay will be higher compared to bus. Taxi drivers generally start bargaining from 20 dollars. Therefore, you should be good at bargaining about the fare. The taxis accept maximum 4 passengers. If you find three passengers going to the city center, you will reduce your transportation cost.
Car Rental
