Essaouira to Ouarzazate, the comfortable way.

What does the trip from Essaouira to Ouarzazate actually involve? 345 km, around 4h10 of driving by way of Marrakech and Aït Benhaddou, and a change of scene from the Atlantic coast to the southern side of the High Atlas.
Who makes the Essaouira to Ouarzazate trip
Why this trip? Most departures from Essaouira are the second half of a coast-and-city trip, or surfers and kiters moving on once the wind drops. As for Ouarzazate, people come for the kasbahs, film-set tours and as the overnight stop that splits long drives to the desert.
The road from Essaouira to Ouarzazate
Leaving Essaouira the road passes through argan forest to Ounagha, then crosses the flat Chiadma plain to the Chichaoua junction and runs east into Marrakech with the High Atlas on the right. South-east of Marrakech the N9 climbs the High Atlas through Berber villages and walnut groves to the Tizi n'Tichka pass at 2,260 m, then descends into the stony south to the Aït Benhaddou turn-off. From Aït Benhaddou it is a short run across the plateau past the Atlas film studios into Ouarzazate. Good places to break the drive: a café stop at Chichaoua, the Tizi n'Tichka pass and the argan and walnut terraces around Taddert.
Arriving in Ouarzazate
Ouarzazate is the gateway town to the Moroccan south — home to the Taourirt kasbah, the Atlas film studios and the Noor solar plant, at 1,100 m on a stony plateau. Wide boulevards and drive-up hotels; kasbah guesthouses outside town can be down short dirt tracks.
Before you go
A final practical note on Ouarzazate: big day-night temperature swings; winter mornings can be close to freezing. And when you are ready to move on, the Skoura palmery and the Dades gorge are the natural next legs east. The return leg, Ouarzazate to Essaouira, has its own page and the same per-vehicle pricing.
Privatwagen, Fernbus, Grand Taxi oder Zug?
The fastest way from Essaouira to Ouarzazate is a private transfer: about 4 h 15 door to door for a fixed €245 for the whole vehicle. The coach is cheaper per person but adds a transfer at each end and roughly an hour of waiting; a shared grand taxi only leaves once six seats are sold.
| Option | Typical price | Journey time | Door to door | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Private transfer (Bacharide) | from €245 per vehicle | 4 h 15 | Yes | Fixed fare for the whole car, hotel-door pickup, luggage and child seats included, flight tracked. |
| CTM / Supratours coach | ~€25 per person | 6 h 15 | No | Cheapest option, but fixed departure times, station-to-station, and luggage is charged by the bag. |
| Shared grand taxi | ~€30 per seat | 4 h 45 | No | Leaves only when six seats are sold. No seatbelts in the rear, no boot space for large cases. |
| Self-drive hire car | ~€70 per day + fuel | 4 h 30 | Yes | Flexible, but you handle the mountain passes, city parking and the deposit hold. |
Coach, grand taxi and rail figures are typical published fares and timings for Moroccan operators (CTM, Supratours, ONCF) and vary by season. Only the Bacharide fare is fixed and quoted at booking.
