Transportation
By airMost international flights arrive in Marrakech, and plenty of low cost companies now fly to Marrakech, though some companies arrive in Casablanca and require a plane change for the 45 minute flight to Marrakech. The Marrakech airport is just 10 minutes from town and small taxis are plentiful. If going by petit taxi, make sure to have the driver use his meter or agree
the price beforehand. As you exit the airport terminal, there is a sign which
actually gives you an idea of how much the taxi ride should cost. By trainTrains arrive from
Casablanca
hourly, and regularly from other destinations such as
Rabat. The train
station is located in the recently developed ville nouvelle. Frequent local
buses leave from just across the street into the medina and modern tourist area.
Petit taxi drivers will also be quick to offer their service, but pay no more
than Dh 10 - 15 for this short ride. By busMost CTM and private bus lines arrive at the long distance bus station near
Bab Doukkala, a 20 minute walk (Dh 15 - 20 by petit taxi) from Jema el-Fna.
Supratours and Eurolines buses, however, will arrive at the main train station. Get aroundOnce in the medina, everything can be seen on foot, though you'll be doing a lot of walking.
