Editor’s Note

It is important to never accept rides from approaching individuals offering taxi connections inside the airport. Almost all of them are trying to overcharge travelers.

Remember that after 21:00 pm there is an additional 50% surcharge in taxi prices. Drivers will only accept cash in Moroccan currency.

Despite the frequency and convenience of luggage compartments of the Bus Line No19, the relatively expensive ticket price make the bus option worth considering only with the 2-week free return ride.

Editor’s Note

Travelers should keep in mind that the bus can stop on command only at popular destinations. However some of the official stops includes Hivernage, Bab Doukkala, Marrakech railway station, Jemaa el-Fna and Gueliz.

Useful Tips

During public holidays and weekends the bus frequency will normally change from every 30 minutes to every 45-60 minute departures.
