Ouarzazate to Sidi Kaouki, the comfortable way.
Ouarzazate to Sidi Kaouki is 345 km by road — roughly 4h10 in a private car by way of Aït Benhaddou and Marrakech. Surfers, kiters and horse-riders come for an empty beach and a much slower pace than Essaouira, and the drive in is part of the story.

The road from Ouarzazate to Sidi Kaouki
From Ouarzazate the road passes the Atlas film studios and crosses the plateau to Aït Benhaddou. From Aït Benhaddou the road joins the N9 and climbs north over the Tizi n'Tichka pass at 2,260 m, then twists down through Atlas villages into Marrakech. West of Marrakech the N8 crosses the dry Haouz plain to Chichaoua, then the R207 heads through the Chiadma farmland and the argan forest down to the ocean at Essaouira. The final stretch: sidi Kaouki lies 25 km south of Essaouira, reached by a side road off the N1 through argan country. Good places to break the drive: the Tizi n'Tichka pass, the argan and walnut terraces around Taddert and the argan cooperatives at Ounagha.
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 Ouarzazate, has its own page and the same per-vehicle pricing.
