Marrakesh Menara Airport

Marrakesh Menara Airport is about 6 km southwest of the city center. A taxi to the Medina and Jemaa el-Fna takes about 15 to 20 minutes, depending on traffic. Bus 19 takes about 30 minutes to reach Jemaa el-Fna, and runs about every 20 to 30 minutes from a stop across the airport parking lot.

Yes. Menara Airport is on the southwestern edge of Marrakesh, about 6 km from the city center, so a taxi to the Medina usually takes only 15 to 20 minutes. The Palmeraie, on the northern edge of the city, is farther away, and the Atlas Mountains lie to the south of Marrakesh.

The airport has two passenger terminals, Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, which form one connected building. Terminal 1 handles most international flights, and Terminal 2 is mainly used for domestic flights and some low-cost airlines. You can walk between the two inside the building, so a change of terminal is simple.

Ryanair, easyJet, Transavia, Jet2 and Wizz Air fly from Marrakesh to many European cities. Royal Air Maroc connects it with Casablanca, France, Spain and Belgium, while British Airways, Air France, Iberia, Qatar Airways and Turkish Airlines also serve the airport. Delta and United run seasonal flights to Atlanta and Newark.

Taxis wait at the rank outside the arrivals hall. Petit taxis carry up to three passengers, and grand taxis take larger groups. A fare table is posted near the rank, but drivers often do not use the meter, so agree the price before you set off. The trip to the Medina takes about 15 to 20 minutes.

Yes. Bus 19 runs from the airport to Jemaa el-Fna about every 20 to 30 minutes, less often on weekends, and continues to the train station before looping back. The stop is across the parking lot outside arrivals, near the car rental signs. The ride to Jemaa el-Fna takes about 30 minutes.

Yes. Budget, Europcar, Hertz and several local companies have rental offices at the airport, and there is an on-site car park with more than 1,000 spaces. A car is useful for trips to the Atlas Mountains, but driving and parking in the Medina is difficult, so most visitors staying there go by taxi.

Citizens of the US, Canada, the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and EU countries can enter Morocco without a visa for up to 90 days. Travelers from other countries, including South Africa, must apply through a Moroccan embassy or consulate. Your passport should be valid for at least six months after your arrival date.

The Palmeraie is on the northern edge of Marrakesh, on the far side of the city from the airport. Bus 19 only serves the Medina and the train station, so most travelers reach the Palmeraie by petit taxi, grand taxi or pre-booked transfer. Agree the taxi fare with the driver before you set off.

The High Atlas, including the Ourika Valley and the village of Imlil, lies south of Marrakesh. No bus runs directly from the airport to the mountains, so travelers usually take a grand taxi, a rental car or a pre-booked transfer. A rental car also makes it easier to stop at villages along the way.

Morocco has used GMT (UTC+0) year-round since 20 September 2026, with no daylight saving time. The currency is the Moroccan dirham (MAD), a closed currency, so get cash from the ATMs or exchange offices at the airport. Marrakesh is hot and dry in summer and mild in winter, with cool nights.

Marrakesh Menara Airport handled about 10.2 million passengers in 2025, up about 10% from 9.3 million in 2024, according to Airports of Morocco (ONDA). It accounts for about 28% of Morocco's air traffic. ONDA operates the airport, which has one runway, 3,100 m long.
