Who makes the Essaouira Airport to Safi 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. Safi is the destination because visitors come for the potters' quarter and ceramics museum, surfers for the heavy right-hander in winter, and business travellers for the port.
The road from Essaouira Airport to Safi
Mogador Airport is 17 km south-east of the town, just off the road towards Agadir. 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: Souiria Kdima beach.
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.
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 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 Safi is a private transfer: about 1 h 45 door to door for a fixed €85 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 €85 per vehicle | 1 h 45 | Yes | Fixed fare for the whole car, hotel-door pickup, luggage and child seats included, flight tracked. |
| CTM / Supratours coach | ~€10 per person | 2 h 45 | No | Cheapest option, but fixed departure times, station-to-station, and luggage is charged by the bag. |
| Shared grand taxi | ~€10 per seat | 2 h | 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 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.
