Transportation in Marrakech

Getting Around the City

The primary mode of public transportation in Marrakech is the bus system, which covers all city districts with an extensive network of routes. Fares for these buses typically range from 6 to 12 MAD, depending on the carrier company and whether the bus has air conditioning. Boarding buses is done through the front door.

However, it's worth noting that one drawback of Marrakech's public transportation is the relatively long intervals between buses, leading to overcrowding. This can make for a less comfortable experience, and it's important to remain vigilant against pickpockets.

We recommend tourists in Marrakech to consider using small, agile taxis that can accommodate a maximum of three passengers. The typical fare for these taxis is around 9.5-10 MAD per kilometer. However, it's important to note that these cabs usually don't have meters, so it's advisable to negotiate the fare with the taxi driver before getting in.

For reaching the suburbs, you can opt for shuttle buses, while exploring the old town is best done on foot or by using horse-drawn carts.
