Essaouira Airport

Essaouira Airport (Essaouira-Mogador) opened in the mid-20th century and remains a compact, regional gateway with a single small passenger terminal serving seasonal tourist traffic to Morocco’s Atlantic coast. Located roughly 15–20 km from the historic medina and beach, the airport offers straightforward connections to Essaouira by taxi, shared shuttle and rental car, with easy road links to nearby Agadir and Marrakech via coastal and national routes. Not a major hub, ESU is popular with low-cost and charter airlines (seasonal Ryanair, Transavia and various tour operators) making it generally an affordable option for travelers seeking direct, budget-friendly access to Essaouira.
