From the airport to the city centre Morocco
In Marrakech, to reach the city center, located 5 km from the airport, you can choose between the bus (Alsa line no. 19) and the cab, both of which take around 15 minutes to get you downtown. The bus, more economical than the cab, serves several of the city's key sites, which is very convenient. Day or night, cabs are waiting outside the airport. To avoid rip-offs, fares are prominently displayed on arrival.
Casablanca airport is located 30 km southeast of the city. The best way to get to the city center is to take one of the white cabs waiting outside Terminal 1. Alternatively, and considerably cheaper, you can take the train from the station under the arrivals hall.
In Fès, you can take the Fès City line no. 16, which serves the railway station, or take a cab for faster, more convenient transport.
From Agadir and Tangiers airports, you'll need to take a cab to reach the center. Alternatively, a slightly less convenient solution for Agadir is to take bus no. 37 to Izgane, and then one of the buses to the center (no. 6, no. 11 and no. 96).
From the airport to the city centre Morocco
The largest airports accessible in southern Morocco are those of Marrakech, Agadir, Ouarzazate and Dakhla.
Arrival by train Morocco
The train is a very safe and comfortable means of transportation, but the rail network does not cover the entire country. However, since 1984, the Office National des Chemins de Fer (ONCF - www.oncf.ma) has largely developed its network in the north of the country. Today, nearly ten major lines crisscross the North and the Oriental. You can easily travel from Fez to Marrakech, Casablanca and Oudja, but also from Casablanca to Nador. Inaugurated in 2018, Morocco's first high-speed line connects Casablanca to Tangier in just 2 hours and 10 minutes, passing through Rabat and Kenitra. This line is the first part of a project that should provide the country with 1,500 km of high-speed lines by 2030.
Arrival by train Morocco
A journey exists to reach Morocco by train. From Austerlitz in Paris, reach Madrid, Algeciras, then Tangier by boat.
Arrival by boat Morocco
There are five shipping companies operating between Algeciras and Tangier Med. They operate a total of about 50 round trips per day. It is up to you to compare prices to find the most interesting offer. According to the company, you will reach Tanger Med in 1h-1h30. To reach the center 40 km away, you will have to take a direct bus, which departures are available every hour. The other more interesting solution is to take one of the 3 companies connecting Tarifa to Tangier City in less than an hour. Remember to book in advance during peak periods.
Arrival by boat Morocco
Every week, seven ferries leave France to reach Morocco. You can for example leave from Sète or Marseille.
Public transport Morocco
Buses are the best way to travel around the country if you do not have a car. But be careful, only three companies are recommended: CTM (www.ctm.ma), Supratours (www.supratours.ma) and Alsa (www.alsa.ma). These official bus companies are very safe, comfortable and punctual. They are not much more expensive than the small private companies, which we do not recommend for safety reasons. You can also take collective cabs, which can be convenient to reach one town or village to another. However, they only leave when the cab is full! Another disadvantage is that you may be squeezed into the back seat. Try to negotiate a seat in the front.

The two most important companies are CTM and Supratours. They are also the most reliable.
Bike, scooters & co Morocco
Except in big cities, electric scooters are not yet very popular in Morocco.
With a driver Morocco
There are many tourist transports in Morocco, whose services you can rent to move around the territory. They should not be confused with travel agencies, which can sell "all-inclusive" tours. It should also be borne in mind that the driver is not a tourist guide, and the information provided may be incorrect.

The large cab network is extremely well structured and is one of the largest providers of employment in the country.
By car Morocco
Renting a car will change the face of your trip completely, as you'll be able to get off the beaten track and enjoy a pleasant degree of autonomy. However, renting a car in Morocco is quite expensive. It will often cost you between 300 and 1,000 DH per day, depending on the car you rent. There are two types of car rental agencies: international agencies, present in all major cities (Avis, Hertz, etc.) and local agencies. There are no rules; local agencies are often very serious, but scams do exist, of course. Be sure to ask about the conditions in the event of a breakdown or accident. The roads are quite good in Morocco, but don't venture onto stony tracks if your vehicle isn't suitable. Moroccan driving can sometimes be quite brusque, so be careful on the roads and avoid driving after dark, as the roads are not sufficiently lit.

Accessibility Morocco
Morocco is gradually becoming accessible to people with reduced mobility, especially in large cities. In luxury hotels, several rooms have been designed to accommodate them, and little by little, guest houses are beginning to set up rooms to receive them. It will be more difficult to move around the country, but the company Handi Medic offers the first transport network adapted to people with reduced mobility (www.handi-revesmedic.com) in Morocco, allowing them to discover the country.

Tourist traps Morocco
The price of cab trips is always fixed in advance and varies according to the number of passengers in the vehicle. Generally, to connect two large cities, there is no need to negotiate, the managers inform you of a pre-established amount. The trick? Pay for a second seat to leave more quickly.
