There are several easy ways to get from Essaouira to Marrakech:
To take the bus
A safe and cheap way to get from Essaouira to Marrakech is to take the bus. Companies like CTM and Supratours offer services that happen every day and last about three hours. Most often, it costs 80 to 130 MAD. Buses leave from stops near Essaouira’s Medina, and it’s best to buy tickets ahead of time, especially when the city is busy.
With a Private Taxi
It takes about 2.5 hours to get from Essaouira to Marrakech by private cab, which is faster and more comfortable. The fare for this option is usually between 700 and 1200 MAD, but it can be higher or lower based on the season and the deal. You can book private cars through hotels or taxi stands.
While renting a car
If you want more freedom, getting a car is a good option. The N1 and A7 highways take between 2.5 and 3 hours to drive from Essaouira to Marrakech. Rental prices range from 200 to 400 MAD per day, which includes the cost of gas and tolls. Ensure you know the road rules at your destination and have a foreign driver’s license.
Sharing a taxi
A shared grand taxi costs about 100 to 150 MAD per person and is a cheaper choice. The leaving time may be longer because grand taxis only leave when they are full. This choice might be less reliable in terms of time, but it is cheaper.
