Practical tips

💡
Book your bus tickets in advance

Especially during peak seasons (holidays, weekends), CTM and Supratours buses fill up quickly. Book your ticket a few days in advance to secure your seat and choose your preferred spots.

💡
Domestic flights: check for promotions

Moroccan airlines frequently offer special deals on domestic flights. A short flight can turn out to be cheaper than a long overnight bus if you are flexible with your travel dates. Keep an eye out!

💡
Bus stations: CTM vs Supratours

Agadir has a main bus station shared by CTM and Supratours, but in Rabat, their terminals can sometimes be separate. Double-check the exact address of your arrival station to avoid any confusion.

💡
Bus luggage: beware of surcharges

With CTM and Supratours, one piece of checked luggage is usually included. However, if you have oversized suitcases or multiple bags, a small surcharge might be requested directly by the driver. Have some change ready.

💡
Airport transfers: plan ahead

If you choose to fly, remember to factor in the time and cost of transfers between the airport and the city center in both Agadir and Rabat. A taxi or shuttle is usually necessary.

🛣️ The journey experience

Planning your trip from Agadir to Rabat and wondering about the best way to get there? Don't worry, Morocco offers good solutions for this journey. The key is to choose between bus and plane to optimize your time and budget, while fully enjoying your travel experience.

For this route, you have two main options. The bus is an economical and very popular choice, with reliable companies like CTM and Supratours. Expect around 7 hours of travel time for a fare of about 14 €. If speed is your priority, a domestic flight is also available. The flight takes approximately 1 hour and costs from 35 €, an excellent compromise for those who want to save time.

Our advice: if you are not in a hurry and enjoy seeing the landscape, the bus is a charming and economical option. However, to avoid a full day of travel and reach Rabat faster, flying is a very attractive alternative for a reasonable cost. Remember to book your tickets online, which guarantees immediate confirmation and a smooth journey.
