Practical tips

💡
Choose CTM or Supratours

These two companies offer the most reliable and comfortable services in Morocco. Their buses are modern, air-conditioned, and generally punctual, avoiding the inconveniences of less organized local transport. Book in advance for the best seats.

💡
Book online for peace of mind

To guarantee your seat and avoid queues, especially during high season or holidays, book your CTM or Supratours bus tickets online. This ensures immediate confirmation and seamless planning, avoiding any uncertainty on departure day.

💡
Prepare small bills for taxis

Upon arrival at the bus station, you will likely take a taxi to reach your accommodation. Have small change or small bills to avoid change issues and negotiate the price before getting in if the meter is not used.

💡
Arrive early at the bus station

It is advisable to arrive at least 30 minutes before your bus's departure time. This gives you time to locate your platform, check in your luggage (a small fee may be requested), and settle in without rush.

💡
Domestic flights: consider for long distances

While the bus is ideal for Casablanca-Tangier, keep in mind that for very long journeys like to Dakhla (15h overnight bus), a domestic flight can be an excellent alternative, despite a higher cost, to save valuable time and avoid fatigue.

🛣️ The journey experience

Planning your trip from Casablanca to Tangier and wondering about the best transport option? In Morocco, the bus network is excellent and often the most sensible choice for connecting imperial and coastal cities.

For this route, the coach is clearly the most practical solution. CTM and Supratours companies operate regular and comfortable services. You can expect to pay around €14 for a journey that takes approximately 4 hours. It's a well-served route, with modern buses offering good service quality, far from the slow local buses one might fear elsewhere.

You can book your tickets online with ease, guaranteeing you a seat and avoiding queues. Forget domestic flights or ferries for this distance: the bus will drop you directly in the heart of Tangier, ready to explore the city. No stress, just a smooth and pleasant journey from start to finish.
