Heure Bleue
Getting there
- Planes Royal Air Maroc (www.royalairmaroc.com) flies to Essaouira from Paris Orly, but most visitors arrive via Marrakech’s Menara Airport, which you can reach from various hubs across Europe with British Airways (www.ba.com), EasyJet (www.easyjet.com) and Ryanair (www.ryanair.com). A taxi from the Marrakech to Essaouira costs €45–€70 (depending on the time you wish to be transported). Coaches run from Marrakech’s bus station (which is a €12 taxi journey from the airport) and cost around €7 a person.
- Automobiles You won’t need a car to get around Essaouira but if you’re planning to drive to the town you’ll find rental desks for Avis (www.avis.com) at Marrakech and Essaouira airports. The journey from Marrakech along the N8 highway takes around two hours. There’s parking at the hotel.
