Taxi fares
- 70–100 MAD to city center (10–15 minutes)
- 150–200 MAD to Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou (30–40 minutes)
- 400–500 MAD to Skoura palm grove (1 hour)
These prices are typical arrival estimates. The exact fare can change with luggage, time of day, and whether you are heading directly to a hotel, a kasbah, or a desert route.
Private transfers
Pre-book a 4x4 with driver if you continue to the desert the same day. Drivers wait inside arrivals with a sign.
- Best for same-day departures toward Dades, Todra, or Merzouga.
- Useful when you want a direct pickup at the terminal.
- Better than searching for a car after a late evening arrival.
Car Rental
Renting a car gives you the ultimate freedom to explore the Atlas Mountains and the Sahara desert roads.
- Agencies are located directly in the arrivals hall.
- 4x4s are generally not required for main routes.
- Book online in advance during high season.
What to do first after landing
- Use the ATM or small cash exchange before taking a taxi.
- Confirm your hotel pickup if you have one.
- Check whether your next stop is the city, a kasbah, or a desert hotel.
- If you are heading to Merzouga, expect a long road transfer and plan daylight departure if possible.
