What does the trip from Essaouira to Agadir Airport actually involve? 170 km, around 2h10 of driving by way of Imsouane and Taghazout, and a change of scene from the Atlantic coast to the Souss coast.

Who makes the Essaouira to Agadir Airport trip

This is usually a departure-day run, and Agadir Airport is where the flight home leaves from. Most departures from Essaouira are the second half of a coast-and-city trip, or surfers and kiters moving on once the wind drops. Al Massira's departure hall is compact but charter waves arrive together; allow two hours before an international flight, a little more on Saturday changeover days. With 2h10 on the road, we work the pickup time back from your flight so you are not sitting in the terminal for hours — tell us the flight number and we set the time.

The road from Essaouira to Agadir Airport

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. Heading south, the N1 leaves the surf coast at Aourir's banana stalls and follows the shore through Anza into Agadir's port district. The final stretch: al Massira Airport lies inland at Temsia, about 25 km south-east of the Agadir seafront via the N10. Good places to break the drive: goats in the argan trees around Smimou, the Cap Ghir lighthouse viewpoint and Tamri's banana plantations.

Arriving in Agadir Airport

Agadir Al Massira (AGA) is the gateway for the whole south-west — charter and low-cost flights for the beach hotels, the surf coast and the Anti-Atlas. Al Massira's departure hall is compact but charter waves arrive together; allow two hours before an international flight, a little more on Saturday changeover days.

Before you go

Once you are in Agadir Airport, the airport is closer to Taroudant and the Anti-Atlas than most people realise. Charter traffic peaks in winter; late-night landings are common on this route. The return leg, Agadir Airport to Essaouira, has its own page and the same per-vehicle pricing.

How this compares

Private car, coach, grand taxi or train?

The fastest way from Essaouira to Agadir Airport is a private transfer: about 2 h 15 door to door for a fixed €96 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.
