SIM card: mobile operators have stands in arrivals, handy to message your riad.
Riad name and phone: keep them on your phone, so the driver can call ahead.

Late arrivals in Essaouira

Many flights land in Marrakech in the evening, which means arriving in Essaouira late at night. Cars cannot enter the medina, so your driver stops at the nearest gate, usually Bab Sbaa or Bab Marrakech, and calls your riad so someone meets you. Tell your riad your arrival time in advance.

Bus or private transfer from the airport?

Bus: no direct bus from the airport to Essaouira. You first go into Marrakech to the CTM or Supratours station, then take a 3-hour bus, then a taxi in Essaouira.
Private transfer (from €60 per car): one ride from arrivals to your door, at any hour.
