Taroudant to Essaouira Airport, the comfortable way.
What does the trip from Taroudant to Essaouira Airport actually involve? 160 km, around 2h05 of driving by way of Agadir, Taghazout and Imsouane, and a change of scene from the Souss valley to the Atlantic coast.
Who makes the Taroudant to Essaouira Airport trip
This is usually a departure-day run, and Essaouira Airport is where the flight home leaves from. Taroudant is a quiet side trip, so departures are usually back to Agadir or onward over the Anti-Atlas towards Ouarzazate. ESU is small enough that 90 minutes before an international departure is usually comfortable, but check-in desks open late, so there is little point arriving earlier. With 2h05 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 Taroudant to Essaouira Airport
West of Taroudant the N10 runs through the flat Souss valley, lined with orange and banana orchards, to Agadir. North of Agadir the N1 runs along the ocean through Anza and Aourir — the 'Banana Village' roadside stalls — before the first surf villages appear. Beyond Taghazout the N1 climbs above the cliffs past the Cap Ghir lighthouse and the banana plantations of Tamri, with the Atlantic below on the left. 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. The final stretch: mogador Airport is 17 km south-east of the town, just off the road towards Agadir. Good places to break the drive: the Cap Ghir lighthouse viewpoint, Tamri's banana plantations and an argan oil cooperative near Tamanar.
Arriving in Essaouira Airport
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. ESU is small enough that 90 minutes before an international departure is usually comfortable, but check-in desks open late, so there is little point arriving earlier.
Before you go
A final practical note on Essaouira Airport: flights are seasonal; winter schedules are thin, so double-check your flight day before booking the car. And when you are ready to move on, from Mogador it is as quick to reach Sidi Kaouki as the Essaouira medina. The return leg, Essaouira Airport to Taroudant, has its own page and the same per-vehicle pricing.
Private car, coach, grand taxi or train?
The fastest way from Taroudant to Essaouira Airport is a private transfer: about 2 h door to door for a fixed €105 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 €105 per vehicle | 2 h | Yes | Fixed fare for the whole car, hotel-door pickup, luggage and child seats included, flight tracked. |
| CTM / Supratours coach | ~€10 per person | 3 h 15 | No | Cheapest option, but fixed departure times, station-to-station, and luggage is charged by the bag. |
| Shared grand taxi | ~€15 per seat | 2 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 | ~€50 per day + fuel | 2 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.
