Hitchhiking out
'''Essaouira''' is a resort town on the Atlantic Ocean in [[Morocco]].
== Hitching Hitchhiking out ==
The roundabout for all directions is on Boulevard Mohammed V. a few hundred meters south of the swimming beach and its associated buildings like the Sofitel hotel Hotel and Mobil petrol station.
=== East to [[Marrakesh]] ===
The road east to Marrakesh goes along the R207 road. Right at the south east corner of the city there is a roundabout where cars can stop easily. At a small distance from there seems to be a popular spot for police patrols, which makes it unlikely that people pick up hitchhikers. Locals recommend the petrol station to the west, which works fairly well. ===North to [[Safi]] === If you follow the same route as if going to Marrakesh, there's a second roundabout a few kilometers out (maybe 3km) where you can catch a ride on the R301 north along the coast.
=== South to [[Agadir]] ===
For The N1 road has less traffic and may take an entire day, but it is a scenic route. It passes through endless argan groves and then ocean views. First, get to Essaouira Ville Nouvelle/Ghazoua, about 7 km south of Essaouira. There you'll find an intersection marked Agadirand Marrakesh. Get a lift on the Agadir road until the first village, there are two optionsSmimou, some 25 km further. You can then hop from village to village. You can take from main entrance of medina bus №3 to Smimou or №2 to Sidi Kauki.  == Nomadwiki & Trashwiki == {{nomadwiki}} 
The N1 national road runs directly south along the coast to Agadir. However, there is often little traffic on this road.
One might try instead to hitch with a Marrakesh-bound car along the R207 until the town of Chichaoua, approximately 100 kilometers from Essaouira. Nearly all traffic between Marrakesh and Agadir passes through Chichaoua, where it turns onto the N8 highway going south, so one can easily hitch on from there.
