Practical tips

💡
Choose CTM or Supratours

For a Kenitra-Fes journey, always choose CTM or Supratours. Their buses are faster, more comfortable, and more reliable than local buses. You'll avoid multiple stops and delays, ensuring a pleasant trip.

💡
Book in Advance, Especially in High Season

Although this route is frequent, booking your bus ticket a few days in advance, especially during holidays or long weekends, will guarantee you a seat and your preferred time slot. CTM and Supratours websites allow online bookings.

💡
Locate the Correct Bus Station

In both Kenitra and Fes, CTM and Supratours bus stations are often separate from the local bus terminal. Double-check your station's address when booking to avoid any last-minute confusion and stress.

💡
Prepare for Bus Comfort

Even for a short 2-hour journey, consider bringing a water bottle, headphones, and a small snack. Some buses have Wi-Fi, but don't always count on it. A small travel pillow can also enhance your comfort.

💡
Be Flexible with Arrival Time

While CTM and Supratours buses are reliable, minor delays can occur, especially due to traffic or unforeseen stops. Allow a small buffer if you have a connection or an appointment in Fes.

Forget complicated dilemmas between flying and taking the bus; for this route, the choice is clear. The key is to travel comfortably and efficiently, without wasting precious time.

You can easily book your tickets online or directly at the station. Focus on the local experience and let the bus take you to your destination hassle-free.
