Marrakech airport to the medina
Taxis, transfers, buses and night arrivals: how to reach the medina from Marrakech Menara airport.
Marrakech Menara airport sits very close to the centre: the ride to the medina is short, yet it is often the trickiest moment of the trip. Decide in advance how you will get in: a taxi with the price agreed before you board, a pre-booked transfer, or the city bus. Carry small notes, write down your derb name, and tell your riad your arrival time.
Practical tips
- Agree on the fare before getting in.
- Tell your riad your arrival time.
- Save a photo of the riad door and the derb name.
What to avoid
- Accepting a "transfer" offered by someone in the hall.
- Leaving without small notes to pay.
Best time
Daytime arrivals are easiest; at night, prefer a booked transfer.
