Safi to Ouarzazate, the comfortable way.
Plan on about 4 hours for the 330 km between Safi and Ouarzazate, following the N1 / coast road, the R207 / N8, the N9 over the Tizi n'Tichka and finally the N9. 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.
Who makes the Safi to Ouarzazate trip
Why this trip? People often pass through Safi on a coastal road trip between Essaouira and El Jadida rather than staying long. As for Ouarzazate, people come for the kasbahs, film-set tours and as the overnight stop that splits long drives to the desert.
The road from Safi to Ouarzazate
South of Safi the road hugs the coast past Souiria Kdima's fishing beach, then crosses the Had Draa farmland towards Essaouira. Leaving Essaouira the road passes through argan forest to Ounagha, then crosses the flat Chiadma plain to the Chichaoua junction and runs east into Marrakech with the High Atlas on the right. South-east of Marrakech the N9 climbs the High Atlas through Berber villages and walnut groves to the Tizi n'Tichka pass at 2,260 m, then descends into the stony south to the Aït Benhaddou turn-off. From Aït Benhaddou it is a short run across the plateau past the Atlas film studios into Ouarzazate. Good places to break the drive: the argan cooperatives at Ounagha, a café stop at Chichaoua and the Tizi n'Tichka pass.
Arriving in Ouarzazate
Ouarzazate is the gateway town to the Moroccan south — home to the Taourirt kasbah, the Atlas film studios and the Noor solar plant, at 1,100 m on a stony plateau. Wide boulevards and drive-up hotels; kasbah guesthouses outside town can be down short dirt tracks.
Before you go
A final practical note on Ouarzazate: big day-night temperature swings; winter mornings can be close to freezing. And when you are ready to move on, the Skoura palmery and the Dades gorge are the natural next legs east. The return leg, Ouarzazate to Safi, has its own page and the same per-vehicle pricing.
Private car, coach, grand taxi or train?
The fastest way from Safi to Ouarzazate is a private transfer: about 4 h door to door for a fixed €160 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 €160 per vehicle | 4 h | Yes | Fixed fare for the whole car, hotel-door pickup, luggage and child seats included, flight tracked. |
| CTM / Supratours coach | ~€25 per person | 5 h 60 | No | Cheapest option, but fixed departure times, station-to-station, and luggage is charged by the bag. |
| Shared grand taxi | ~€30 per seat | 4 h 30 | No | Leaves only when six seats are sold. No seatbelts in the rear, no boot space for large cases. |
| Self-drive hire car | ~€70 per day + fuel | 4 h 15 | 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.
