Flights to Marrakech
Nicknamed the Red City for the towering red walls that frame its ancient old town, Marrakech has centuries of history and culture to be discovered. The beating heart of this time-stamped metropolis is in the medina, where traders sell everything from food to traditional lanterns in the markets. Known locally as the souks, you can spend an entire afternoon browsing in the winding alleyways, shaded from the heat of the North African sun.

Marrakech flight FAQs
A flight from London to Marrakech takes approximately three hours and 30 minutes.
Marrakech experiences sweltering temperatures during the summer, drawing in plenty of sun-seekers. If you can travel during the winter, early spring or autumn, prices are often cheaper. Use our low fare finder to search for savings.
Your trip to Marrakech can fit whatever budget you’re working with. If you’re looking to save your dirham – the local currency – eat at cafes and street food stalls and walk or use local buses when you’re exploring the city. There are also lots of hostels that offer very affordable places to stay.
You can travel from Marrakech Menera Airport to the city centre in a number of ways. Taxis take about 15 minutes and there are two types – a Petit taxi that seats up to three people and a Grand that seats six. You can also pre-book a private transfer, with a driver who will collect you from the airport.
If you want to see Marrakech and everything else Morocco has to offer on your own schedule, why not hire a car with British Airways? You’ll get great benefits, round-the-clock customer support, with all mandatory charges included, and you’ll collect Avios points on every rental.
Marrakech is made for cameras – brightness is everywhere, with its streets and neighbourhoods popping with eye-catching colours. The centre is a fast-paced hive of activity while gardens and riads offer blissful moments of peace.
