Casablanca Airport to the City (and Beyond)
Mohammed V airport (CMN) is Morocco's main gateway, about 30 km southeast of Casablanca. The good news: it has a direct train station under the terminal, which makes onward travel remarkably easy.
The Train (Best Option)
- To Casablanca: direct ONCF trains from beneath the terminal to Casa Voyageurs (~45 min, ~40-50 Dhs), running roughly hourly.
- To Rabat: change at Casa Voyageurs onto frequent Rabat trains (total ~1h45).
- To Marrakesh: change at Casa Voyageurs for the Marrakesh line (total ~3h30-4h).
- Buy tickets at the station machines or counter; the train runs from very early to around midnight.
Taxis and Transfers
- Official airport taxis post fixed tariffs to the city (roughly 250-300 Dhs to central Casablanca, more at night) - agree before departing. This is the one time you do not negotiate a meter.
- Pre-booked transfers: convenient for late arrivals or groups; your riad or hotel can arrange one.
- Ride-hailing apps (inDrive, Heetch) may serve the airport but face restrictions - the train or official taxi is more reliable. See our taxi guide.
Tips
- Have some dirhams before leaving arrivals - ATMs and exchange are in the terminal (our money guide).
- If you land late, the train may have stopped - budget for a fixed-price taxi.
- Heading straight to Marrakesh or Rabat? The train from the airport saves you a city transfer entirely.
