Route and Route R207
The main route is via the national road R207. Although it is not a highway along the entire length, the road is in excellent condition. Key crossing points include the city of Chichaoua, an ideal rallying point for a coffee or fuel break.
From Marrakech Airport (RAK) to Essaouira
If you land in Marrakech-Menara to reach Essaouira directly, the route is 200 km (about 2h30 via the A7 motorway and then R207). The transfer agencies in RAK offer this route for about 800-900 MAD. Attention: there is no direct bus leaving the Marrakesh-Menara terminal for Essaouira; you will first have to reach the bus station by taxi city (small taxi).
