Practical tips

💡
Prioritize CTM or Supratours

For a fast and comfortable journey from Casablanca to Kenitra, always choose CTM or Supratours. Their buses are modern, air-conditioned, and offer reliable service, unlike slower and less comfortable local buses.

💡
Book your tickets online in advance

Even for a short journey, buying your CTM or Supratours bus ticket online through their official websites or a platform like 12go.asia guarantees you a seat and avoids queues at the bus station, especially during peak season.

💡
Separate Bus Stations

In Casablanca, CTM and Supratours often have their own terminals. Make sure to identify your company's departure station to avoid any confusion and save time before boarding.

💡
Night Journeys: Fly to Dakhla

If you're planning very long journeys, such as to Dakhla, a domestic flight is often a better option than a 15-hour night bus. Always compare prices and durations to avoid regretting your choice.

💡
Prepare for your departure from Morocco

For the Tangier–Spain connection, remember to book your ferry in advance, especially if you're traveling during peak season. Options to Tarifa (faster) or Algeciras (more company choices) are good to know.

🛣️ The journey experience

Traveling in Morocco is an incredible experience, and understanding local transportation is key to enjoying it to the fullest. Between Casablanca and Kenitra, good news: it's a simple and direct journey where the bus is clearly your best ally. Forget the complications; here, there's no bus vs. plane or ferry dilemma, it's a fast and efficient connection awaiting you.

For this trip between Casablanca and Kenitra, the coach is the most logical and practical option. Companies like CTM and Supratours offer frequent departures throughout the day. The journey takes about 2 hours and costs around 8 €. It's a comfortable solution to connect these two cities, without the constraints of an airport or a long sea crossing, which are irrelevant here anyway.

For your future explorations in Morocco, remember this simple rule: short and medium journeys like this one are almost always done by bus, offering excellent value for money. For very long distances, such as to Dakhla, a domestic flight may justify its cost to save valuable time. And for Spain, the ferry from Tangier is the only option. With these guidelines, you'll travel with peace of mind, always choosing the best option.
