About Ouarzazate International Airport
Ouarzazate International Airport serves the city of Ouarzazate and the wider Drâa-Tafilalet region in southern Morocco. Opened to public air traffic in 1971, the airport is a compact regional gateway used by scheduled and charter flights, and it plays an important role in connecting the area with Casablanca, other Moroccan cities and international destinations.
Located about 2 km from central Ouarzazate, the airport is one of the closest to a city centre in the country, with taxi journeys typically taking only a few minutes. A single passenger terminal handles domestic and international services under one roof, keeping walking distances short and the passenger flow simple.
Ground transportation from the airport includes petit taxis for travel within Ouarzazate and grand taxis for onward journeys to nearby towns such as Ait Ben Haddou, Skoura and Fint. Car rental agencies operate inside the terminal, and private transfers, chauffeur services and group buses can be arranged in advance. There is no railway link at the airport, but the city's bus station offers longer-distance connections.
The terminal provides an information point, a café, duty-free and souvenir shops, currency exchange, car rental desks, Wi-Fi and paid parking with around 174 spaces. Its small scale and proximity to town make it a convenient arrival and departure point for travelers visiting the Atlas Mountains, film studios and desert routes of southern Morocco.
