SHORT ANSWER
The simplest options are the official taxi rank or the airport-city shuttle. The airport says the shuttle runs every 20 minutes.
AIRPORT
Marrakech Menara is close to the city
The airport is much closer to central Marrakech than Casablanca’s main airport is to Casablanca, so transfers are relatively straightforward.
BUS
There is an airport-city shuttle
ONDA, Morocco’s airport operator, states that a city-airport-city shuttle bus service runs every 20 minutes. Check the current route and operating hours when you arrive.
TAXI
Use the official taxi area
The airport has a taxi station on the esplanade. ONDA says fares for destinations are posted in the taxi parking area.
RIAD ARRIVAL
Ask where the car can actually stop
Many riads are inside the medina, where cars cannot reach the final door. Confirm the nearest drop-off point with your accommodation before arrival.
