Who makes the Essaouira Airport to Agafay trip
Almost everyone booking this leg has just landed at Essaouira Airport. ESU arrivals are few and cluster on specific days, so pre-booking a car matters more here than at a busy hub. Agafay is the destination because it offers the desert-camp experience — sunset dinners, quad bikes, camel rides, starry skies — without the long drive to the Sahara.
The road from Essaouira Airport to Agafay
Mogador Airport is 17 km south-east of the town, just off the road towards Agadir. 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. The final stretch: the Agafay stone desert begins about 35 km south-west of Marrakech, reached via the Amizmiz road. Good places to break the drive: the argan cooperatives at Ounagha and a café stop at Chichaoua.
Arriving in Agafay
Agafay is a rocky desert plateau with the High Atlas as a backdrop, dotted with luxury tented camps and ecolodges within an hour of Marrakech. Camps are reached on unpaved tracks; the last few kilometres are slow, and some camps meet cars at a marked junction.
Before you go
Once you are in Agafay, Lalla Takerkoust lake is just below the plateau for lunch. Desert nights are cold from November to February — camps provide blankets and fires. The return leg, Agafay to Essaouira Airport, has its own page and the same per-vehicle pricing.
Private car, coach, grand taxi or train?
The fastest way from Essaouira Airport to Agafay is a private transfer: about 2 h 15 door to door for a fixed €106 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 €106 per vehicle | 2 h 15 | Yes | Fixed fare for the whole car, hotel-door pickup, luggage and child seats included, flight tracked. |
| CTM / Supratours coach | ~€10 per person | 3 h 30 | No | Cheapest option, but fixed departure times, station-to-station, and luggage is charged by the bag. |
| Shared grand taxi | ~€15 per seat | 2 h 30 | No | Leaves only when six seats are sold. No seatbelts in the rear, no boot space for large cases. |
| Self-drive hire car | ~€50 per day + fuel | 2 h 15 | 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.
