Marrakesh airport has a lot of flight connections from all over the world. Otherwise, you can fly from any other city and take a train. You can check the train timetables on the ONCF website: http://www.oncf.ma/
From the Airport to the train station, you can take a bus or a taxi. Please remember you can only pay in dirhams, the local currency so don’t forget to change money inside the airport.
There is a special airport bus (number 19) that departs right from the outside of the airport.
As for the taxis, they are a good option but you would have to deal the price beforehand. The normal price is 100 Dirhams.
