Alternatively, airport grand taxis are available at the terminal rank for approximately 400 to 450 MAD in cash dirhams.
Arrival tips

Plan your arrival
- Meet your chauffeur holding your name sign in the arrivals hall.
- Sit back for a comfortable 75-minute drive past Berkane citrus plains to the Mediterranean coast.
- Arrive directly at your resort reception in Saidia Med.
Relying on public buses for Saidia. There is no direct public bus between the airport and Saidia, requiring multiple changes in Al Aroui, Selouane, and Berkane.
If staying at an all-inclusive resort, book a return transfer at the same time to ensure a stress-free departure for your flight home.
