Essaouira Airport to Essaouira Medina: what to expect
Essaouira Mogador Airport is 17 km south of town, a 20-minute drive up the coast road. The airport is small and seasonal, with a handful of European flights a week, so taxis are not always waiting when a plane lands — booking ahead is the difference between leaving immediately and standing outside.
The medina itself is a walled, UNESCO-listed fishing port closed to traffic. Cars stop at Bab Doukkala, Bab Marrakech or the port car park depending on where your riad is, and porters with handcarts take luggage the last few hundred metres.
Tell us the riad name at booking and the driver picks the right gate rather than dropping you at the far side of the walls.
