💡
Book your bus in advance

Especially during peak seasons or weekends, booking your CTM or Supratours bus ticket a few days in advance guarantees your seat and prevents you from waiting for the next departure. It's quick and easy online.

💡
Opt for CTM or Supratours for comfort

For a Fes-Nador journey, choose CTM or Supratours. They offer more modern, air-conditioned buses with better service, ensuring a more pleasant and faster trip compared to local companies.

💡
Check your departure station in Fes

Fes has several bus stations. Make sure to clearly identify the CTM or Supratours station when booking to avoid any confusion on departure day. A wrong station can make you lose time.

Prepare your small bus bag

For the 4-hour journey, pack a small bottle of water, some snacks, and something to keep you occupied (book, headphones). Although the trip is short, a little personal comfort is always welcome.

💡
Arrive early at the station

It's always advisable to arrive at least 30 minutes before your bus departure. This gives you time to check your luggage, find your platform, and settle in without rush.
