Merzouga to Safi, the comfortable way.
The Merzouga–Safi transfer covers 640 km in about 7h50. It links the Tafilalt with the Atlantic coast by way of Erfoud, Tinghir and Ouarzazate, and it is priced per vehicle from €370, so a family or group pays the same as one traveller.
Who makes the Merzouga to Safi trip
Why this trip? People leave Merzouga the morning after the camp, often facing a long drive, so departures are usually early. As for Safi, visitors come for the potters' quarter and ceramics museum, surfers for the heavy right-hander in winter, and business travellers for the port. It is not an everyday transfer — 640 km is most of the width of Morocco — but it is a real one. It is booked by travellers who finish a desert tour and want to end their trip in Safi without doubling back through Marrakech, and by those going the other way who would rather spend one long day in a comfortable car than three on a shared tour bus.
The road from Merzouga to Safi
From Merzouga the road runs north past Rissani's market to Erfoud. West of Erfoud the road crosses the pre-Saharan plain, past the khettara irrigation wells and Tinejdad's oasis, to Tinghir. West of Tinghir the N10 passes Boumalne at the mouth of the Dades gorge, the rose town of Kelaat M'Gouna and the Skoura palmery into Ouarzazate. 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. North of Essaouira the road crosses the Had Draa farmland and then follows the coast past Souiria Kdima's beach into Safi. Good places to break the drive: the rose valley at Kelaat M'Gouna, the Skoura palmery and the Atlas film studios.
Arriving in Safi
Safi is an industrial port and the historic capital of Moroccan pottery, with a Portuguese sea fortress, a hilltop potters' quarter and big-wave reef breaks known to serious surfers. Hotels are spread between the port, the modern centre and the cliff road; addresses are straightforward by car.
Should you split the journey?
At 7h50 this is a full day in the car. We run it in one day for anyone who wants that — with breaks every two hours or so — but many travellers prefer to split it. The natural halfway point is Aït Benhaddou: a kasbah guesthouse at Aït Benhaddou lets you see the ksar after the day-trippers leave. Book two one-way legs and the driver meets you again the next morning.
Before you go
Mild coastal climate; winter swells make it a surf destination from November to February. From Safi, the Oualidia oyster lagoon is an hour north along the coast. The return leg, Safi to Merzouga, has its own page and the same per-vehicle pricing.
Privéauto, bus, grand taxi of trein?
The fastest way from Merzouga to Safi is a private transfer: about 7 h 45 door to door for a fixed €370 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.
