Adventure motorcycle rental in Essaouira with Keni Rides

Motorcycle rental in Essaouira

Pick up your motorcycle in Essaouira and ride the Atlantic shore, between argan groves and surf beaches. Delivery to your riad in the medina or at the edge of the old town.

Your starting point

Essaouira is a town of wind, white ramparts and blue fishing boats, and it is an underrated place to start a ride. The coast road to Agadir is among the finest in the country, and the argan-covered hinterland takes you towards Marrakech on back roads far more interesting than the main highway.

We deliver a prepped bike straight to Essaouira, with gear and support in French, English and Spanish. The medina is pedestrian, so we agree a handover point a few steps from your riad.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I collect the bike in Essaouira?

At your riad, your hotel, or at a meeting point on the edge of the medina. Since the old town is pedestrian, we agree the nearest accessible point to your door.

Is the wind a problem on a motorcycle?

Essaouira is known for its trade winds, especially in spring and summer. You feel the crosswind on the coast road: a slightly heavier bike like the BMW GS or the Ténéré is more reassuring than a light single.

Can I ride here and back from Marrakech?

Yes — many riders rent in Marrakech and do Essaouira over two or three days. We can also deliver in Essaouira and collect the bike in Marrakech for a transfer surcharge.

When is the best time to ride from Essaouira?

April to October for the sunshine, bearing in mind the wind is strongest from May to August. If you would rather ride in calm air, aim for spring or autumn; winter stays mild but wetter.

How many days should I allow from Essaouira?

One day for the coast around Sidi Kaouki, two days to reach Agadir along the coast road, and three to four for an Essaouira-Marrakech loop through the argan hinterland.
