To Essaouira
We are happy to arrange transfers for you from Marrakech to Essaouira. The cost is 700 Dirhams (£50) each way in a taxi, and a minibus costs 1,000 Dirhams each way (about £70). The journey takes two and a half hours.
Alternatively you can catch the Supratours bus from Marrakech which takes 3 hours.
To Dar Lazuli
Dar Lazuli is located just inside Essaouira’s historic medina walls and beside the main square, a two minute walk from the beach.
- From Place Moulay Hassan
Dar Lazuli is just a 5 minute stroll from Place Moulay Hassan. From the Place head away from the port towards the right-hand corner of the square by the blue canopy of Café Bachir. Continue down the alleyway inside the city wall. Take the first turning on the left before Villa Maroc down rue Mouss ben Noussaire (written on a red sign), then turn right and you’ll see Dar Lazuli’s white door lit at the end of the passageway.
- From Bab Sbaa
Arriving by taxi, you’ll be dropped at Bab Sbaa. Walk through the archway and continue straight ahead through the next archway (with music shops inside) underneath the clock tower.
Turn left immediately and at Villa Maroc turn right, then right again and you’ll see Dar Lazuli’s white door lit at the end of the passageway.
