Marrakech Menara Airport (RAK) is renowned for its striking geometric Arabesque architecture, situated just 6 km southwest of Jemaa el-Fnaa square, the Medina, and the upscale Hivernage district.
Marrakech Airport is only 6 km southwest of the historic Medina and Jemaa el-Fna square. The ALSA Airport Bus 19 leaves every 20 minutes directly to Jemaa el-Fna for 30 MAD (~$3.00 USD) (or 50 MAD roundtrip). Alternatively, an official Petit Taxi takes just 15-20 minutes for a fixed government tariff of 70 - 100 MAD (~$7.00 - $10.00 USD).
The modern, stylish districts of Hivernage (luxury hotels, casino) and Guéliz (boutiques, trendy bistros, Marrakech Railway Station) are just 5 km northeast of the airport. An official Petit Taxi takes just 12-15 minutes for 70 - 100 MAD (~$7.00 - $10.00 USD), delivering you directly to hotel entrances. Alternatively, ALSA Bus 19 stops at Hivernage and the Railway Station for 30 MAD.
Terminals 1 and 2 are seamlessly integrated into one passenger complex. Arrivals exit into a central shaded concourse where official taxi ranks and ALSA Airport Bus Line 19 depart.
Airport taxi drivers often attempt to charge 200–300 MAD. The official government-regulated daytime flat rate is clearly posted on the billboard at the taxi rank (typically 70–100 MAD to the Medina or Guéliz).
Night tariff for official taxis carries a 50% legal surcharge (around 105–150 MAD). ALSA Bus 19 runs until around 21:30.
