Landing in Agadir is the easy part — figuring out how to get from Agadir Airport to Taghazout is where a little planning goes a long way. After all, the last thing you want is to be stuck negotiating taxis when you could already be on the beach or out catching waves.
Agadir is by far the most convenient airport for Taghazout, and even better, you can often find incredibly cheap flights from the UK.
Whether you’re looking for the quickest transfer, the cheapest option, or the most comfortable way to arrive, this guide breaks down everything you need to know before you land.
Agadir Airport to Taghazout Distance and Travel Time
Getting from Agadir Airport to Taghazout is relatively straightforward. The airport sits around 30 miles (or 49km) from Taghazout. In theory, that’s about a 55-minute drive from the terminal to Taghazout.

Best Ways to Travel from Agadir Airport to Taghazout

Private Transfer or Taxi from Agadir Airport to Taghazout: The Comfiest Option
🚕 When booking your stay in Taghazout, it’s worth checking if your accommodation offers an airport shuttle service – sometimes, it’s even included in your booking or can be added on for a small fee! It can save you both the hassle and the cost of organising a private transfer or taxi. I stayed at Taghazout surf camp, and they offered transfers for €20pp one-way.
In my opinion, the best option for getting from Agadir Airport to Taghazout is by a private transfer. It’s the quickest, comfiest choice, and since it takes you directly to your accommodation, it’s also the most convenient.
It’s not overly pricey either. A private transfer costs just over £25 for groups of up to 8 people – meaning if you had all 8, it would only cost £3pp. Unfortunately, if you’re a solo traveller, you would have to pay the full £25!
Passport control at Agadir Airport is usually quick, and since the airport itself is small and easy to navigate, you won’t be hanging around for long. I’d recommend booking your transfer for shortly after you land. It’s also really easy to spot your driver waiting with a sign in arrivals.
I’d definitely recommend booking your onward travel in advance, so you don’t have to worry about sorting a taxi when you land. That being said, if you forget to organise a private transfer before you go, you’ll find plenty of taxis waiting just outside the arrivals terminal.
The official taxis in Agadir are white and yellow with a rectangular sign on top and a checkered line on the side, so you can’t miss them.
A taxi is a pretty similar price to a private transfer, costing you about €25-40 one-way (approx. 250-400 MAD).
Top Tip: Always agree on the taxi fare with the driver before you jump in! Also, make sure you bring Moroccan Dirham to pay for the taxi, as they don’t always accept cards.
Bus from Agadir Airport to Taghazout: The Cheapest Option
There are, unfortunately, no direct buses from Agadir Airport to Taghazout. Therefore, you would need to get the bus from Agadir Airport to the city centre of Agadir, before switching to a bus to Taghazout.
This isn’t the most convenient option as it does take around two hours and two bus changes, but it’s ideal if you’re on a budget as the journey in total costs roughly 20MAD or €2. Just remember to bring cash with you.
Firstly, take the AE bus that stops directly infront of the airport to Wilaya – Vallee Des Oiseaux, which takes roughly 1 hour and has 11 stops. Next, walk 4-minutes from here to Wilaya-Jardin Belvedere.
For the final leg of the journey, you’ll want to take bus number L32 heading north to Taghazout. This should take 35 minutes and has 20 stops.
Here’s the logistics: These buses don’t run that regularly, usually starting early in the morning just before 7am and stopping just before 5pm. So, this is only really a valid option if your flight arrives during these times. However, to make things even more complicated, they don’t run regularly –about every two hours.
Tickets can be bought directly from the bus driver in cash. I’m not sure about card payments, so it’s best to bring cash to be on the safe side. But otherwise, it’s a great option if you’re looking for something cheap and cheerful!
Top Tip: The bus driver may not speak much English, so I’d recommend downloading Google Maps offline and showing them where you need to go. They’ll be able to let you know when to get off, or you can simply follow the journey on your map – your phone should still track your location via GPS, even without the internet.
Car Rental at Agadir Airport: The Wild Card Option
Agadir Airport is a handy spot to grab a hire car if you’re planning on driving in Morocco. There are loads of rental companies based right inside the airport. This makes it super convenient to pick up your car as soon as you get off your flight.
I hired a car and road-tripped all the way from Marrakech to Merzouga, the gateway to the Sahara – and I absolutely loved it!
Driving gives you so much freedom to explore at your own pace, but it’s not without its challenges – like navigating unfamiliar road signs or just getting used to the driving culture. Still, if you’re up for it, it’s one of the best ways to see the country!
🚗 If you want to compare car rental companies, then use DiscoverCars or AutoEurope. Both are very reliable websites that will help you to find the best car rental deals by comparing the prices and ratings of hundreds of companies in Morocco.
What to Expect When You Arrive at Agadir Airport
Agadir airport itself is relatively small, so once you’re through passport control, it’s quite straightforward to find your way out.
I also highly recommend getting a Moroccan SIM card, especially if you plan on driving. There are lots of SIM card shops at the airport. However, as much as these are quite convenient, they do tend to cost more.
Instead, if you’re heading into Agadir, go to one of the official telecom boutiques, like Orange, Inwi, IAM Maroc Telecom, in the city centre (near big markets/shops like Souk El Had).
If you can’t be bothered with the faff, the most straightforward way is to get a Yesim international electronic SIM before you go. It provides a stable internet connection, is pay-as-you-go, and means you don’t have to physically swap SIM cards. Just select your country, and you’re good to go!
If you’re still deciding on your onward plans, Agadir and the surrounding coastline are fantastic for surfing in Morocco — take a look at my guide for a little inspiration.
