Options: (1) Private transfer (recommended): MSITravels arranges private airport pickups — your driver waits in arrivals with a name board, transfers directly to your riad; cost €15–25 for a private car to the medina; no stress, no negotiation; (2) Official petit taxi (metered): exit arrivals, turn right to the official taxi rank; insist on the meter or agree a price before entering — standard fare to Djemaa el-Fna is 80–120 MAD (€7–11); reject any driver approaching inside the terminal; (3) Grand taxi (shared): fixed-price shared taxis to the city centre for approximately 70–100 MAD per seat; cheaper but slower; (4) Bus No. 19: the ALSA city bus runs between the airport and Djemaa el-Fna for 30 MAD — inexpensive but slower and not practical with luggage. MSITravels highly recommends pre-booking a private transfer to avoid airport arrival stress.

Morocco's airport taxi scams are common and well-documented — here is how to avoid them: (1) Never accept a taxi offer inside the terminal: legitimate drivers wait at official taxi ranks outside; anyone approaching you inside arrivals is not official; (2) Use the official taxi rank: at all Moroccan airports, official taxis are clearly marked and positioned outside arrivals; look for the official queue; (3) Agree price before entering or insist on meter: petit taxis should use the meter; grand taxis have fixed prices — agree before getting in; (4) Know the approximate fare: Marrakech: 80–120 MAD to medina; Casablanca: use the train (50 MAD) instead of taxi; Fes: 80–100 MAD to medina; Agadir: 60–100 MAD to city centre; (5) Best solution: pre-book a private transfer with MSITravels — your driver is waiting with your name, you know the price in advance, and there is no negotiation at all.

How long does immigration and customs take at Moroccan airports?
