The easiest way to travel across Morocco is by bus, train or a rented car. It is recommended to travel by car or hire a private driver for more flexibility and comfort. Expect long journey times, but the scenery out of the window makes it worthwhile. Estimated travel costs from city to city for two people via car rental is approximately $300.
For those with more than 7 days, consider exploring other Moroccan cities such as Casablanca and Agadir. For those with less than 7 days, you can skip Essaouira or the desert leg of the journey, or shorten the amount of time in a particular city.
