Marrakech-Menara International Airport is located about 6km (4 miles) southwest of Marrakech. 

Airport facilities
These include banks, ATMs, a post office, a restaurant, snack bars, duty-free shops, a medical centre and tourist information. Avis, Budget, Europcar and Hertz all provide car hire services. 

Transport to the city
Bus 11 is supposed to run to the medina every 30 minutes, but service can be erratic. Petits taxis (small beige compact cars) are a better bet, and can be found in the driveway near the parking lot. Bargain in advance for a fare, which should cost less than Dh80 by day or Dh100 at night.
