Grab your luggage, walk out of arrivals at Essaouira Airport (ESU-Mogador), and collect your rental car. Which one you hop into depends on where you want to go. If you’ll be spending the majority of the time driving in downtown Essaouira, around 9 miles from the terminal, consider something small and zippy. A compact car that’s easy to operate will be perfect for those busy city streets. But with a smorgasbord of things to see, like the striking sandy shores of the region, there’s a good chance you’ll rack up those miles. A larger vehicle, like a full-size car or an SUV, will make lengthier road trips a joy.
