Airports
 Mohammed V International is the main airport serving the city of Casablanca and providing the chief gateway for international visitors arriving from Europe, North America and the Middle East. The airport serves a number of domestic locations including Marrakech, Tangier and Agadir. Major French and Spanish cities offer the most frequent connections to the city. Among the airport’s many facilities and services are shops and restaurants, a business centre, VIP lounge, car rental office, bank, bureau de change and post office. For ground transportation, passengers can take a rail shuttle service to the city from a station located at the Arrivals hall. A bus service also operates while taxis can be found at a stand outside of the terminal building.
Public Transport
 Bus services are available in Casablanca but tend to be somewhat confusing and difficult for foreigners to negotiate. There are many companies operating services and hence little or no standardisation of routes, prices or vehicle quality. If however, you are hardy and streetwise enough to take on the system, then you’ll find getting around considerably cheaper than the nearest alternative.
 For the majority of visitors, taxis are the most convenient means of getting around and while more expensive than buses, they are still cheap compared to EU/US prices. Cabs are easily identifiable as they are invariably always red in colour and also more often than not, four-door Fiats. Services within the city are metered and passengers should insist that the meter is used or else alight from the vehicle if the driver insists it’s not working. Larger taxis, that operate regular routes and are generally shared, are also available. These vehicles are usually white Mercedes sedans so are also easy to identify.
