Rabat — Ryanair has announced a new direct route starting 31 March 2025 that connects Paris-Beauvais to Essaouira on Morocco’s Atlantic coast.
The budget airline will put in place two flights a week, on Mondays and Fridays, offering options for both short and long stays.
Essaouira is the latest addition to Ryanair’s growing network of destinations from Paris-Beauvais. Last summer, the airline established direct flights to Moroccan hotspots such as Marrakech, Fès, and Agadir.
By adding Essaouira to the mix, Ryanair opens the door for travellers to discover a hidden gem far away from the usual tourist attractions.
Travellers using Paris-Beauvais can catch one-hour shuttle buses from Paris Porte Maillot. Passengers should make sure to check in online, avoid extra charges, and register to hold luggage in advance.
