Marrakech airport is not far away from the city center. In fact it is only located a few kms away and can be done either by airport taxi or bus. When you go out of the arrivals door, you will see lots of taxi drivers trying you take you inside one of their taxis.
Now, either you are willing to pay 150 up to 200 Dirhams for one taxi (which is OK if you’re sharing with more friends or you’re in a hurry), or you have to take the bus to get a cheaper price. The bus takes longer also. So if you’re OK to pay 150 Dirhams take the taxi, if you’re looking for something cheaper take the bus.
