Taxi 

A taxi will naturally be more expensive, but it is a reliable and comfortable way of getting from Marrakech to Essaouira. It is also relatively easy to pick up a taxi in most destinations, including Marrakesh Menara Airport. It is worth trying to haggle the price before you start your journey, but you should allow for around 450 dh - 1,000 dh.
