50 MAD gets you from T1 to central Agadir in about an hour
Bus 22 is the Alsa-run airport bus linking Agadir Al Massira’s T1 with the city for 50 MAD (about $5), taking roughly 60 minutes. It’s the cheapest sane option if you’re solo, have one suitcase or backpack, and don’t want to pay 200–300 MAD for an airport taxi.
The bus runs roughly every 60 minutes from around 04:00 until close to 01:00, but reviews say it goes “mostly every hour on the hour,” so don’t treat it like a train timetable. If you land at 23:30, assume you might miss the last one and budget for a taxi backup.
Outside arrivals at T1, follow signs toward the main car park and look for an Alsa airport bus rather than fixating on the number “22” on the front. Locals and TripAdvisor threads often just call it “the airport bus” or “Alsa shuttle,” so the route number can be easy to miss if the display is dim or switched to a destination name in Arabic.
A single ticket airport–Agadir costs 50 MAD, paid in cash directly to the driver; Reddit posts quote the same price as roughly 5 euro or $5. There’s usually plenty of space for luggage and even wheelchairs, according to a 2023 TripAdvisor report, so standard suitcases are fine on board.
Expect about 60 minutes into central Agadir, longer if you hit traffic closer to the city. One r/Morocco thread points out that AGA is “a stranded place” for intercity links, so treat this bus as your first leg into town before grabbing a petit taxi toward areas like Talborjt or the beachfront.
Step-by-step: using Bus 22 at Agadir Al Massira (AGA)
- 1. Exit T1 arrivals: After baggage claim, walk straight out of customs and follow the flow toward the main car park in front of the terminal.
- 2. Find the Alsa airport bus stop: Look for an Alsa-branded bus signed for Agadir city; staff and locals may just call it “bus to Agadir,” not “22.”
- 3. Confirm the departure time: Ask the driver what time they leave; they’re supposed to run on the hour, roughly 04:00–01:00, but gaps do happen.
- 4. Pay the 50 MAD fare: Have small bills or coins ready and pay the driver on boarding; keep the ticket for spot checks.
- 5. Store your bags and ride: Place larger bags in the designated area, then settle in for the 60-minute ride toward central Agadir.
- 6. Get off near taxis: Regulars ask the driver to drop them close to a taxi stand, then continue by cab to surf towns like Tamraght or Taghazout.
- 7. For groups, price-check a taxi: If you’re two or more people, TripAdvisor regulars note that a metered or negotiated cab from AGA can come close to the combined bus fare, so compare before committing.
One tip: If you have a 05:00 flight, don’t rely on the first rumored 04:00 bus; stay near Agadir the night before or plan a taxi to the airport.
