Mohammed V Airport Transfer — The Complete Guide
Casablanca's Mohammed V International Airport is Morocco's busiest airport and one of the most important on the African continent, welcoming over 10 million passengers every year across dozens of routes to Europe, Africa and the Middle East. Organising your Mohammed V airport transfer correctly is therefore a crucial step in any trip to Morocco.
About Mohammed V Airport
Located roughly 30 km south-east of Casablanca, the airport has two main terminals (Terminal 1 and Terminal 2) and a low-cost terminal. Most international flights land at Terminal 1. Terminal 2 is used primarily by Royal Air Maroc for domestic and regional services.
On arrival, you will find baggage carousels, customs desks, currency exchange offices, ATMs and tourist information counters. The exit towards pick-up zones — taxis, shuttles and private drivers — is to the left as you leave the arrivals hall.
Transfer Options from Mohammed V Airport
The ONCF Train
The rail shuttle is the most economical solution. The station is located on the lower level of Terminal 1 and runs services every 30 to 60 minutes to Casa-Voyageurs station. The journey takes about 45 minutes and costs less than 50 dirhams. From Casa-Voyageurs you can continue to other destinations by tram, taxi or on foot.
Grand Taxis
Shared or private grand taxis wait in front of the terminals. To Casablanca centre, the fare is generally 250 to 350 dirhams. Always negotiate the price before getting in. To Marrakech, Rabat or other cities, fares are considerably higher (700–1,500 DH depending on destination).
Long-Distance Buses
CTM and other companies run regular services from the airport. It is economical but slow, with many stops along the way.
