The road from Marrakech to Casablanca, stage by stage
The private taxi from Marrakech to Casablanca covers about 240 km, almost entirely on the A7 motorway. It is one of the easiest long drives in Morocco: a modern toll road heading north across the Jbilet hills and the plains of the Chaouia, with service areas along the way.
| Stage | Approx. time | What to expect |
|---|
| Pickup in Marrakech | 0:00 | Your driver meets you at your hotel, at the nearest car access to your riad, or at Marrakech Airport (RAK). |
| Jbilet hills | 0:00 – 0:40 | The motorway leaves Marrakech northwards through the low, dry Jbilet hills. |
| Motorway service area | around 1:15 | Cafés, toilets and fuel at the service areas along the A7. Stop whenever you like. |
| Settat and the Chaouia plain | 1:30 – 2:00 | Wide farmland plains; the turn-off for Mohammed V Airport comes shortly after. |
| Arrival in Casablanca | about 2:30 | Drop-off at your hotel, apartment, office or the airport. City traffic can add 20 to 30 minutes at rush hour. |

Going to Mohammed V Airport (CMN)?
Casablanca Mohammed V Airport is south of the city, right on the way from Marrakech, so we drive there directly at the same fixed price. For an international flight, plan to arrive at the airport about 3 hours before departure, which means leaving Marrakech around 6 hours before your flight. Send us your flight time and we suggest the pickup time.
Train, bus or private taxi?
- ONCF train (about 90–120 MAD in second class): around 2h40 to 3 hours between Marrakech station and Casa Voyageurs, with frequent departures. Good value for solo travellers, but you need taxis to and from the stations, and reaching the airport means changing trains. See our guide Casablanca Airport to Marrakech: train or private transfer?
- CTM or Supratours bus (from about 80–90 MAD per person): 3 to 4 hours, from bus stations.
- Private taxi or transfer (from €120 per car): door to door, at the time you choose, straight to your hotel or terminal. For three people or more, or with a lot of luggage, it is the simplest option.
For business travellers
Many guests use this route for meetings, conferences and flights. Your driver can pick you up early, wait while you check out, and drop you at your hotel, office or event venue anywhere in Casablanca, including Anfa, Casablanca Finance City and the Corniche. Need a car for the whole day once you arrive? See our private driver by the day.
Stops on the way
The motorway is fast and simple, so most guests drive straight through with one coffee break. If you have time in Casablanca, ask your driver to drop you at the Hassan II Mosque, one of the largest mosques in the world and open to visitors on guided tours.
