The international airport of Marrakech (RAK) is located at the city quarter Ménara pretty close to the modern part of the city. It was opened 1942 as an airbase of the United States (like most airports at Morocco) and transports 2.5 million passengers each year with its one runway. That is just a third of the volume of the airport of the economic powerhouse, Casablanca. The modern airport building is connected via busses to the city, but because of the short distance also fixed-price taxis are a very valid option.
The Aéroport Marrakech-Ménara is a rather small but also fast and modern airport. What feels strange is that you have to perform yourself a baggage scan when entering the building – but the rest of the airport experience is very similar to what you’re used to at home. The security check has typically an acceptable duration and then you’re fast at the the gate.
