The most direct arrival into the medina

For riads on the eastern side of the medina, a Bab Marrakech drop-off avoids circling the ramparts: you enter closest to your own door.

Fixed €15 per vehicle, booked and paid online — your driver waits at the airport with your name.

Travel time and drop-off

Allow 18 to 25 minutes from ESU airport (~14 km). Bab Marrakech is the town's first access when arriving from the south-east.

The final walk to your riad depends on its position in the medina — usually 2 to 6 minutes from the gate.
