Who makes the Imsouane to Essaouira trip
Why this trip? People leave Imsouane after a surf stay, usually heading back to an airport at Agadir or Marrakech. As for Essaouira, people come for the relaxed medina, the harbour grill stalls, the long windy beach and a few slow days after the intensity of Marrakech.
The road from Imsouane to Essaouira
North of Imsouane the road turns inland through rolling argan hills around Tamanar and Smimou, where women's cooperatives sell argan oil at the roadside, then rejoins the coast at Essaouira. Good places to break the drive: an argan oil cooperative near Tamanar and goats in the argan trees around Smimou.
Arriving in Essaouira
Essaouira is a whitewashed, walled fishing port on the Atlantic — Portuguese-era ramparts, a working harbour full of blue boats and a steady trade wind that made it Morocco's windsurf capital. The medina is car-free. Drop-offs happen at Bab Sbaa, Bab Marrakech or the harbour car park, where licensed porters with barrows take bags the last few hundred metres.
Before you go
A final practical note on Essaouira: mild all year — rarely above 27 °C even in August — but the wind is strongest from May to September. And when you are ready to move on, Sidi Kaouki's surf beach is 25 minutes south and the argan villages inland make an easy half day. The return leg, Essaouira to Imsouane, has its own page and the same per-vehicle pricing.
Private car, coach, grand taxi or train?
The fastest way from Imsouane to Essaouira is a private transfer: about 1 h 30 door to door for a fixed €77 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 €77 per vehicle | 1 h 30 | 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 30 | 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 45 | No | Leaves only when six seats are sold. No seatbelts in the rear, no boot space for large cases. |
| Self-drive hire car | ~€40 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.
