How to get from the Airport of Marrakech to Taghazout?
Marrakech might be the most popular tourist destination in Morocco, but for those planning a winter escape into the waves, this city is merely a stop over. Taghazout village, on the other hand, is the choice.
The question is: How do we get from the Airport of Marrakech to Taghazout?
By Mbarka
For some obvious reasons, Marrakech keeps attracting more and more low cost carriers offering direct flights from many major European cities. However, for those planning a winter escape into the waves, Marrakech is merely a stopover. Taghazout village, on the other hand, is the choice.

Travellers have different options: Either they can rent a car right at the airport with multiple car rental options online, use a shuttle service, book a private taxi or simply use public transports.
The Airport of Marrakech
Marrakesh airport is very close to the city, but it can be very busy. After landing, travelers should expect up to an hour before they can finally make it outside. It is important to carry Moroccan Dirhams, which can be purchased at one of the exchange offices or the ATMs inside the terminal building.
