Getting from Agadir Airport to Marrakech

The exotic city of Marrakech in western Morocco draws many tourists to its ancient medina walls. Get lost for hours wandering the narrow streets of Souk Semmarine while bargaining for spices, hand-made ceramics, and colourful textiles. Visit the historic Koutoubia Mosque or the beautiful gardens of Jardin Majorelle, and then relax over a delicious tagine and some sweet mint tea.

The main modes of transport to get from Agadir Airport to Marrakech are by taxi, private transfer, or a combination of public and private buses. A taxi or private transfer is by far the quickest option with a travel time of around 180 minutes during light traffic. The bus on the other hand, requires at least two transfers and has a journey time of 300 minutes, excluding wait times, however, the plus-side is it’s a very budget-friendly option.

How to get from Agadir Airport to Marrakech by taxi

Taking a taxi from Agadir Airport is the quickest and easiest way to reach Marrakech and is the only direct transportation option. You will need to take a grand taxi from outside the airport as these are permitted to travel long distances between cities. The journey takes around 180 minutes during light traffic conditions.

Taxi fare from Agadir Airport to Marrakech

Grand taxis can take up to 6 passengers and charge a set rate fee per seat, although it is possible to pay for all 6 seats so that you can leave straight away. If you just want to pay for your seat, you will need to wait for all of the seats to fill up before the taxi will depart. For all 6 seats in a grand taxi from Agadir Airport to Marrakech, you can expect to pay around €147.70 (MAD 1600). Luggage fees and tolls may be added on top of the final fare price.

For a guaranteed set rate fare with no extra costs, I recommend booking a private transfer in advance with a trusted company such as Welcome Pickups. You’ll get a competitive rate with an English-speaking driver and exceptional customer service.

For added efficiency and personalised service, you can book a private transfer and avoid having to wait for your taxi to fill up before departing.

Editor’s Note

If you only want to pay for a single seat, keep in mind that for this particular route, it could take quite some time for the rest of the seats in the taxi to fill up.

Useful Tips

To avoid Marrakech traffic congestion, it is best to travel early in the morning or late in the afternoon.
There should be a list of guide prices for taxi journeys to different destinations on display at the taxi rank.

Convenience

Using a combination of public and private buses to get from Agadir Airport to Marrakech is by far the cheapest transport option, especially if you are travelling alone. However, the journey requires multiple transfers and is considerably longer than a taxi or private transfer, and wait times in between services can increase your journey time even more. Also, keep in mind that you’ll have to navigate your way to your final destination upon arrival at the Marrakech bus stop.

A more direct and reliable option is to book a private transfer in advance. You’ll arrive directly at the door of your destination and the trip will be much faster than using public transport.

Editor’s Note

Websites for Moroccan bus companies and online payments for bus tickets do not always work when booking from overseas. In these instances, try downloading and using the CMT app, otherwise, tickets will need to be purchased in person.

Useful Tips

Keep in mind that if you're travelling early in the morning or late at night, wait times in between bus services can increase considerably.
Wi-Fi and bathroom facilities should be available on board buses toward Marrakech.
Try to get in line early to board the buses if you want to sit for the journey because the buses can become crowded quickly.
