Essaouira Travel Forum

can anyone give me advice on how much car hire will be? is it easy to hire a car after we arrive in essaouira?

also we need a cheap riad for 6 people for a week (in july). what sort of price range will this be and is it adivsable to book on the internet or better to turn up and chance it and get hassled by touts.

riad nakhla is cheap and friendly and in a very good location.
and i would say book in advanced as the touts are extremely annoying in essaouira.
this is the website for the riad:

Hello,
It is easy and cheap to hire a care in Essaouira, Just bring your full driving license. Car hire starts from 300Dh (£25) per day there is no mileage charge. You will find agencies around Moulay Hassan square and other places.

Regarding accommodation I recommend you contact carmitch49@hotmail.com
Carole has a delightful Riad in the Medina that can accommodate up to 10 people, you will find some photos on my Essaouira " Where to stay " page. Prices are from 600Eu for 6 persons per week.
If you need anymore help, please ask

hi thanks for the tips - especially the touts I think we will book before we get there. I should have mentioned we want a place that is self catering so we can stay in for a couple of our nights this rules out the first tip. windycity - where do I find your 'where to stay page'

Hi,
Carole's Riad should suit you, as you will have the whole house to yourself,
