Bus was extremely full (people standing), it came 40 minutes late, it was super chaotic, of course we arrived late because of the delay. We were rushed to stand up before our stop and sent out extremely fast (maybe to compensate for the delay?). The "air cond" and "comfort bus" label is of course bulls...t. Thankfully they had open the roof traps cause many people felt sick. We had to pay 1e extra per person per luggage.

The bus was really dirty, the seats were not even fixed anymore so they were sliding down. Air conditioning was not great and the guy of the bus asked money for our luggage. He didn’t speak English nor French. Lucky some guys behind us translated important things to us. The trip was really long as we were driving super slow (longer than expected). We were the only foreign tourists and the only ones to get off at Taghazout, which made it all feel even more sketchy. We were scared to lose our luggage also. At the station in Essaouira there was a guy luckily that told us how the bus would look like and that it would areive only at 12:30 so we we’re a bit less stressed to miss the bus but still, we we’re very little informed and the organisation made it very stressful. Anyway, we are glad everything turned out fine in the end, even though the bus was in really bad condition.

Did we reach our location quickly - yes. Was it safe - no. Driver must have been in a Formula 1 race. Definitely not a good fit for people with a weak stomach. Bus smelled of cat urine and was in bad shape on the inside

Here is the list of operators serving the route: .

How long does it take to get from Essaouira to Taghazout by bus?

Buses normally need between 2h 45m and 1days 3h hours to get to Taghazout from Essaouira. Note that the travel time is for your reference only and can depend on different factors such as traffic and weather conditions. Heavy rainfalls almost inevitably make the trip longer due to poor visibility or floods. Road and surface repairs which happen quite often, result in detours and longer travel times. Major national holidays, long weekends, or peak season periods may cause delays both in departures and arrivals – plan accordingly to avoid disappointment, especially if you have further connections and a tight schedule.

On this route, Achkid Transport offers the fastest service. Trans Tassaout buses usually take the longest time to complete the journey.

Remember, though, that tickets offering the shortest travel time are normally the most expensive ones. Yet it pays to spend a bit more to ensure your bus goes direct without additional stops and uses highways instead of local roads.

How much does it cost to get from Essaouira to Taghazout by bus?

The price of your bus ticket will depend not only on the distance you need to cover but on the class of your coach. E.g. expect to shell out more for VIP or sleeper buses while ordinary buses though being the cheapest option, often are a compromise on comfort and travel time. Of course, they do their job, too, and can be the only option if you hop on/off in the middle of the route.

Anyway, travelling by bus between Essaouira and Taghazout remains an affordable option. The cheapest ticket is offered by Achkid Transport and costs USD 8.43. A Sahara Voyage's ticket will set you back USD 8.43 on average.

Travelling by bus essentials

If you are planning to travel during the high season, weekends, or national holidays, booking your bus tickets in advance is highly recommended. The demand is at its highest, yet very often, the number of coaches serving the route remains the same. The earlier you reserve your seat, the better. On some routes, you need to secure your ticket more than a month in advance; on others, a couple-of-days advanced booking is enough. During such periods, try to book online beforehand whenever possible, as showing up at the bus station without a ticket may result in many-hours of waiting in the queue or leave you downright stranded.
VIP, 1st, Gold, and similar bus tickets are the most expensive option, but they provide a higher level of comfort. Normally the price of such tickets will include wide soft reclining seats, blankets, water and snacks or lunch, and sometimes some toiletries. Upper-class buses travel faster, make fewer stops during the route, and normally provide more spacious seating to their passengers and a better travel experience.
Not all buses have an on-board toilet, but generally, for all trips longer than three hours, all operators schedule a bathroom and/or a lunch stop. While operators definitely do their best to keep on-board toilets clean, the smell may be an issue sometimes. For longer trips, booking a seat a bit farther from the toilet may be a good idea. Also, using bathroom stops for your toilet needs is always better than trying to find your balance in an on-board toilet on the run.
If you travel by an air-con bus, make sure to pack layers. A hoodie, a warm scarf, or a beanie hat may prove a good idea. Air-conditioning on buses tends to be excessive, and running nose and sore throats abound after even not the longest bus rides.
Always use the security belts even if your bus ride attendant or driver does not insist on it. Your safety comes first – for you, for sure. All buses normally are equipped with security belts, but they may be fixed behind your seat. Take time to find the belt and fix it appropriately.
To avoid being disturbed by overhead lights, switched on during stops even at night, and too loud music or sound from the on-board entertainment system, have earplugs and a sleeping mask at hand.
As a courtesy to other passengers, avoid using strong perfumes or smelly foods. Some foods like cheeses or durians are forbidden to take on-board – check in advance. Alcohol is also prohibited on the majority of buses.
Note that if the bus requires refuelling en-route, passengers will be asked to get off the bus. Operators are not allowed to refuel with passengers on board due to safety reasons. Usually, it takes from 5 to 10 minutes and is often combined with a toilet/lunch stop.
If not stated otherwise in your tickets, arrive at the bus station 20-30 minutes before departure. It will give you enough time to find the departure platform and check-in. For international trips, you may need more time for check-in and border formalities.
