Airport Bus from Menara Airport to Marrakech City Center
Time – 20-30 minutes
Cost – 30 MAD (around €3)
The airport bus is the cheapest and most budget-friendly option. It runs every 30 minutes from Marrakech Menara Airport to the city centre, stopping at key locations like Jemaa el-Fnaa. I would only choose this option if you’re travelling light or don’t mind a short walk to your hotel after you get dropped off.
Marrakech Airport to Medina by Private Transfer
Time –20 minutes
Cost – Around €15-€20
A private transfer is one of the most convenient ways to get from Marrakech Menara Airport to your accommodation. After a long flight, having someone pick you up directly from the airport and take you to your hotel without any hassle is a huge relief. The driver will be waiting for you at arrival, and they’ll help with your luggage. It’s a great option if you have heavy bags or are travelling with a group.

Hotel Organised Transfer
If you want peace of mind, especially on your first visit, you can ask your hotel or riad to arrange a private airport transfer for you. This is often the most expensive option but offers a stress-free arrival. We opted for this on our first visit to Marrakech as we were staying in the Medina. Since we knew cars can’t drive in the Medina, we liked the idea of someone meeting us at the entrance after we were dropped off and walking us through the Medina to our riad.
If your hotel can’t organise this, book a private transfer from Marrakech Menara Airport here.
