Essaouira Airport to Aghroud, the comfortable way.
What does the trip from Essaouira Airport to Aghroud actually involve? 105 km, around 1h20 of driving by way of Imsouane, and a change of scene from the Atlantic coast to the Souss surf coast.
Who makes the Essaouira Airport to Aghroud 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. Aghroud is the destination because it is where beginners find gentle waves and families find space away from the busier villages.
The road from Essaouira Airport to Aghroud
Mogador Airport is 17 km south-east of the town, just off the road towards Agadir. South of Essaouira the N1 heads inland through Smimou and Tamanar's argan hills — the stretch where goats famously climb the trees — before cutting back towards the coast at Imsouane. Southbound from Imsouane the coast road passes Tamri's banana plantations and the Cap Ghir lighthouse before dropping into the surf villages. The final stretch: aghroud sits on the coast just south of Tamraght, between the Aourir junction and Banana Point. Good places to break the drive: an argan oil cooperative near Tamanar, goats in the argan trees around Smimou and the Cap Ghir lighthouse viewpoint.
Arriving in Aghroud
Aghroud is a small stretch of surf coast between Aourir and Tamraght, known for its sand-bottom beach break and a few low-key guesthouses. Addresses here are rarely numbered — share a pin or your host's phone number so the driver can call on approach.
Before you go
A final practical note on Aghroud: surf is most reliable in winter; summer afternoons bring onshore wind. And when you are ready to move on, Paradise Valley starts just inland from here, and Taghazout's point breaks are ten minutes north. The return leg, Aghroud 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 Aghroud is a private transfer: about 1 h 15 door to door for a fixed €80 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 €80 per vehicle | 1 h 15 | Yes | Fixed fare for the whole car, hotel-door pickup, luggage and child seats included, flight tracked. |
| CTM / Supratours coach | ~€5 per person | 2 h 15 | No | Cheapest option, but fixed departure times, station-to-station, and luggage is charged by the bag. |
| Shared grand taxi | ~€10 per seat | 1 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 | ~€45 per day + fuel | 1 h 30 | 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.
