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.
