Marrakech airport transfers

Saunter out of the airport in Marrakech and step into your pre-booked airport transfer ready to relax.

Ordering an airport transfer from Marrakech Menara Airport (RAK) to your accommodation is the most convenient way to travel once you’ve landed in this exotic Moroccan city. You’ll be able to choose between cost-effective shuttle services, private vehicles, coaches, minibuses and, if you want to start your holiday in style, limousines.

Menara Airport isn’t far from the centre of Marrakech itself, and the journey in a private transfer will take around 20 minutes by road. You could get a public taxi from the airport, but why not save your energy and haggling skills for the souks? Instead, compare prices at home before you set off so you know exactly what you’ll pay and can budget for it. Then you can land, sidestep the taxi queue and step into your vehicle confident you’ll get from A to B with minimal fuss.

If you’re on a budget, look for shuttles or coaches. You’ll travel with other passengers but keep the costs down. You may be tempted to get a public bus to save money, but consider the convenience of being dropped outside your hotel rather than navigating through the mazy streets of Marrakech’s ancient old town with all of your suitcases. The extra expense might be worth it for the time and energy you’ll save.

If you’re travelling in a group, consider a minibus to get from A to B – if you get a vehicle to match your party size, the price per head can work out to be cheaper than you think. A private car might suit you better if you’re travelling as a couple; there is usually a range of vehicles to pick from depending on how much you want to spend.
