Tangier to Essaouira, the comfortable way.
What does the trip from Tangier to Essaouira actually involve? 720 km, around 9h15 of driving by way of Rabat, Nouaceur (skirting Casablanca) and El Jadida, and a change of scene from the Strait of Gibraltar to the Atlantic coast.
Who makes the Tangier to Essaouira trip
Why this trip? Tangier is usually the first or last stop — trips head out to Chefchaouen, Asilah or down the motorway to Rabat and Fes. As for Essaouira, people come for the relaxed medina, the harbour grill stalls, the long windy beach and a few slow days after the intensity of Marrakech. Plenty of the bookings on this corridor are business trips, where a fixed pickup time and Wi-Fi in the car matter more than scenery — though there is some on the way.
The road from Tangier to Essaouira
South of Tangier the A1 passes Asilah and Larache, then runs through Kenitra's farmland to Rabat. From Rabat the coastal motorway heads south and bypasses Casablanca on the east to reach Mohammed V without entering the city. From Mohammed V the route skirts Casablanca to the south, joining the coastal motorway at Had Soualem and running past Azemmour to El Jadida. South of El Jadida the R301 coast road runs through market gardens and salt pans to the Oualidia lagoon and on to Safi. South of Safi the road hugs the coast past Souiria Kdima's fishing beach, then crosses the Had Draa farmland towards Essaouira. Good places to break the drive: Larache's Lixus ruins, an oyster lunch at Oualidia and the Oualidia lagoon.
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.
Should you split the journey?
At 9h15 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 El Jadida: El Jadida's Portuguese quarter is worth an evening. Book two one-way legs and the driver meets you again the next morning.
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 Tangier, has its own page and the same per-vehicle pricing.
Privéauto, bus, grand taxi of trein?
The fastest way from Tangier to Essaouira is a private transfer: about 9 h 15 door to door for a fixed €404 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 €404 per vehicle | 9 h 15 | Yes | Fixed fare for the whole car, hotel-door pickup, luggage and child seats included, flight tracked. |
| CTM / Supratours coach | ~€50 per person | 12 h 60 | No | Cheapest option, but fixed departure times, station-to-station, and luggage is charged by the bag. |
| Shared grand taxi | ~€65 per seat | 10 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 | ~€115 per day + fuel | 9 h 45 | 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.
