Transportation in Marrakech

The best way to get around Marrakech is on foot. Sure, this is a big city, but most of the main attractions are clustered at or within walking distance of the Medina. Alternatively, if you're looking for a fun way to get from the Medina into the Ville Nouvelle, consider taking a calèche (horse-drawn carriage). Upon arriving at Marrakech-Menara Airport (RAK), located about two and a half miles southwest of the city center, you can either take a taxi or the ALSA public bus. Many hotels also offer airport shuttle services.

Walking

Getting around Marrakech on foot is relatively easy.

Bus

There are public bus services in Marrakech, but there is no set schedule or route map. We recommend relying on the Marrakech Bus Touristique instead. Operated by Alsa, the Marrakech Bus Touristique was designed with visitors in mind: They can get you to and from the airport, and they'll also carry you to Marrakech's primary attractions.

Calèche

You'll spot these green horse-drawn carriages everywhere in the city, although you're more likely to find an available one at Djemaa el Fna or the Koutoubia Mosque. Not only are calèches fun to ride, but they can also fit more people (up to six at a time) and generally cost less than taxis. Most of the routes have fixed prices: For example, it'll cost around 50 MAD ($6 USD) traveling from Djemaa el Fna to the Guéliz neighborhood in Ville Nouvelle.

Taxi

There are two types of taxis in Marrakech: Petits taxis and grands taxis. Petits taxis are fairly small and calculate your fare using a meter (most of the time). Grands taxis are larger and generally have a fixed rate per route. Note that standard rates do not apply to taxis operating to and from the airport, so negotiate a fee with the driver before getting in.
