Practical tips

💡
Opt for CTM/Supratours for speed

For your journeys, always choose CTM or Supratours companies. They offer faster, more comfortable buses and reliable schedules. Avoid local buses, which are often slower and make multiple stops, especially on short distances where every minute counts.

💡
Book your tickets online

To avoid any stress or queues, especially during high season, book your CTM or Supratours bus tickets online via their official websites or a platform like 12go.asia. This guarantees your seat and immediate confirmation.

💡
Plan ahead for long journeys

If you're considering an overnight journey of more than 10 hours, such as to Dakhla, always check domestic flight options. Sometimes, a flight can be only slightly more expensive and will save you valuable time and a comfortable night's sleep.

💡
Identify the correct bus station

In Morocco, CTM and Supratours often have their own stations or dedicated sections within the main bus terminals. Make sure you know your company's departure station to avoid any confusion on the day of travel.

Tanger-Spain Ferries: booking and documents

For the ferry from Tangier to Spain (Tarifa/Algeciras), book in advance online. Have your valid passport and all required documents ready. Arrive well before departure time for boarding formalities.
