Essaouira Airport to Sidi Kaouki, the comfortable way.

Plan on about 20 minutes for the 15 km between Essaouira Airport and Sidi Kaouki, following local roads. Essaouira Mogador (ESU) is a small single-terminal airport with a handful of seasonal European routes, which makes it quick to get through but thin on ground transport.
Who makes the Essaouira Airport to Sidi Kaouki 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. Sidi Kaouki is the destination because surfers, kiters and horse-riders come for an empty beach and a much slower pace than Essaouira.
The road from Essaouira Airport to Sidi Kaouki
Mogador Airport is 17 km south-east of the town, just off the road towards Agadir. The final stretch: sidi Kaouki lies 25 km south of Essaouira, reached by a side road off the N1 through argan country.
Arriving in Sidi Kaouki
Sidi Kaouki is a hamlet of guesthouses behind a vast, wild beach south of Essaouira, marked by the white marabout of the saint it is named after. There is essentially one road and a beachfront; your guesthouse can be pointed out on arrival.
Before you go
A final practical note on Sidi Kaouki: windy from spring to early autumn — good for kiting; winter brings the better surf. And when you are ready to move on, Essaouira's harbour and medina are 30 minutes north for dinner. The return leg, Sidi Kaouki 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 Sidi Kaouki is a private transfer: about 15 min door to door for a fixed €28 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 €28 per vehicle | 15 min | Yes | Fixed fare for the whole car, hotel-door pickup, luggage and child seats included, flight tracked. |
| CTM / Supratours coach | ~€5 per person | 60 min | No | Cheapest option, but fixed departure times, station-to-station, and luggage is charged by the bag. |
| Shared grand taxi | ~€5 per seat | 30 min | No | Leaves only when six seats are sold. No seatbelts in the rear, no boot space for large cases. |
| Self-drive hire car | ~€35 per day + fuel | 15 min | 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.
