Morocco’s main airports

Five airports cover most international arrivals. Casablanca Mohammed V is a journey south of the city, not a walk, and Al Boraq will not take you from there to Marrakech.

Mohammed V International, NouaceurCMNGMMNCasablancaMorocco’s main international hub and a Royal Air Maroc hub. In Nouaceur Province, south of the city, not in the centre. A public site often cited is aeroportcasablanca.ma.
Marrakesh MenaraRAKGMMXMarrakechOn the west side of the city, in the Menara area. See the Marrakech guide.
Fès–SaïssFEZ—FesOverland into the city. We do not invent a kilometre figure or a fare. See the Fes guide.
Agadir–Al MassiraAGA—AgadirSouth of the city. We do not invent a kilometre figure.
Tangier Ibn BattoutaTNG—TangierA gateway for the north and for overland travel to Chefchaouen, which has no commercial airport.

ICAO codes are given only where we recorded them in the research notes (CMN: GMMN, RAK: GMMX). A dash means we did not put an unverified code on the page.

Habits that work at every desk

After passport control, prefer the official taxi desk to unofficial touts in the hall. If a taxi has a meter, ask that it be started; if it does not, agree the fare before the bags go in. We do not invent a fare in dirhams for any of these airports — those figures go stale, and informal quotes vary. Petits taxis are for the urban area and, in some cities, may not be allowed for a long airport run. Ask at the official desk which service applies to your destination.

A prearranged transfer is another option. Kiwitaxi lists airport and intercity transfers (opens in a new tab). For Marrakech (RAK) specifically, Welcome Pickups lists airport transfers (opens in a new tab). Both are affiliate links: we may earn a commission if you book through them, at no extra cost to you. Confirm the meeting point and the price on the partner’s checkout; we do not invent a fare.

Car rental desks are inside or just outside most of these terminals. Compare live offers on the car-rental page, which opens DiscoverCars; insurance, deposits and the permitted mileage are chosen on the partner’s contract. We are not the rental company.

Install a travel eSIM over Wi-Fi before you fly if you can, so you are not depending on airport Wi-Fi or a plastic SIM queue. Prices we checked on 12 November 2026 are on the eSIM comparator. Airalo is the operator we currently earn a commission from (View Morocco eSIMs on Airalo (opens in a new tab)); other operators stay in the table, ranked by published list price. Enable data roaming on the travel eSIM and keep roaming off on your home SIM. An eSIM cannot create a signal where the local network has none, but at these airports coverage is generally not the problem — arriving without a plan is.

The currency is the Moroccan dirham. Exchange and ATM options exist at the larger airports; we do not publish a frozen rate or a “fair” commission. Electricity in Morocco is Type C and Type E, 230 V 50 Hz (WorldStandards.eu, 12 July 2025). Entry rules are not decided at the information desk: check your situation on the official portals before you travel, starting with our visa checklist.

Casablanca Mohammed V (CMN)

CMN is a journey, not a walk into Casablanca. It sits in Nouaceur Province, south of the city. There has been a rail link between Mohammed V airport and Casablanca stations. We tell you to confirm current ONCF airport-train times on oncf-voyages.ma, and not to assume a timetable we did not open today. A taxi from the official desk is the other usual option; agree terms if there is no meter.

If your destination is Marrakech, the typical pattern is: CMN to a Casablanca station, then an ONCF Al Atlas (conventional) train from Casa-Voyageurs — not Al Boraq. Al Boraq is the high-speed service between Tangier and Casablanca. It does not go to Marrakech. The full explanation is on Casablanca to Marrakech.

The other four, briefly

RAK is on Marrakech’s west side and is the usual arrival for a first stay in the red city. FEZ serves Fes and is a common starting point for Meknes, Volubilis, or an overland trip to Chefchaouen. AGA serves Agadir and the south Atlantic. TNG serves Tangier, the north, and the overland route into the Rif. Essaouira has a smaller airport (Essaouira-Mogador, often ESU) with a thinner schedule than RAK; many travellers still come overland from Marrakech — see the Essaouira guide.
