Dar Beida

Location
Dar Beida is in the medina (old city) of Essaouira, on the west coast of Morocco.

By Air:
If you're combining Essaouira with other parts of Morocco, it's easiest to fly into Marrakech or Agadir. Agadir is served principally by charters. Both Marrakech and Agadir are 2+ hours' drive (about 175km); you can either hire a car, book a taxi (from 600DH) or take a bus (see below). There are also some flights to Essaouira. Click on the links below for details.

By Bus from Marrakech:
There are regular buses as well as a constant stream of grand taxis ploughing the route between Marrakech and Essaouira. We'd advise taking the Supratours bus from outside the train station in Gueliz. These are fast (2.5-3 hrs) and air-conditioned, but less frequent (only 2/day, currently at 11am and 7pm).

By Car:
You won't need a car to get around Essaouira itself but if you want to hire one to drive there from Marrakech, we recommend Holiday Autos which offers competitive prices and you can collect your car at Marrakech airport.

Detailed directions will be sent to you when you book through i-escape.
