The road from Ouarzazate to Essaouira
From Ouarzazate the road passes the Atlas film studios and crosses the plateau to Aït Benhaddou. From Aït Benhaddou the road joins the N9 and climbs north over the Tizi n'Tichka pass at 2,260 m, then twists down through Atlas villages into Marrakech. West of Marrakech the N8 crosses the dry Haouz plain to Chichaoua, then the R207 heads through the Chiadma farmland and the argan forest down to the ocean at Essaouira. Good places to break the drive: the Tizi n'Tichka pass, the argan and walnut terraces around Taddert and the argan cooperatives at Ounagha.
Arriving in Essaouira
Essaouira is a whitewashed, walled fishing port on the Atlantic — Portuguese-era ramparts, a working harbour full of blue boats and a steady trade wind that made it Morocco's windsurf capital. The medina is car-free. Drop-offs happen at Bab Sbaa, Bab Marrakech or the harbour car park, where licensed porters with barrows take bags the last few hundred metres.
Before you go
Once you are in Essaouira, Sidi Kaouki's surf beach is 25 minutes south and the argan villages inland make an easy half day. Mild all year — rarely above 27 °C even in August — but the wind is strongest from May to September. The return leg, Essaouira to Ouarzazate, has its own page and the same per-vehicle pricing.
