Practical tips
These two companies offer the most reliable and comfortable services in Morocco. Their buses are modern, air-conditioned, and more punctual. Avoid cheaper local companies for long distances; they are often slower and less comfortable.
CTM and Supratours often have their own stations, or at least separate counters in central stations. Make sure you know the correct departure station for your company to avoid any confusion and stress before departure.
For journeys over 10 hours, such as to Dakhla, a domestic flight can save you valuable time and avoid unnecessary fatigue. Always compare flight prices with overnight bus fares, as an affordable flight might prove to be a better deal.
Especially during peak periods (religious holidays, school vacations), bus and plane tickets can sell out quickly. Book your tickets online a few days in advance to secure your spot and get the best fares.
If you are traveling from Tangier to Spain, familiarize yourself with the ferry schedules for Tarifa or Algeciras. It is advisable to book online, especially during high season, to avoid queues and guarantee your passage.
