Practical tips

💡
Prioritize CTM and Supratours

These two companies offer the most reliable, comfortable, and fast services. Their buses are modern, air-conditioned, and adhere to schedules. Avoid lesser-known local companies for longer journeys.

💡
Book your tickets online

To guarantee your seat and avoid queues, especially during high season, book your CTM or Supratours bus tickets online through their official websites or platforms like 12go.asia. It's convenient and you receive immediate confirmation.

💡
Arrive early at the bus station

Even with a reserved ticket, it's advisable to arrive at least 30 minutes before departure. This gives you time to find your platform, check your luggage, and settle in without stress.

💡
Save flights for the Great South

For trips like Kenitra-Marrakech (5h), the bus is unbeatable. Domestic flights are only relevant for very long distances, such as Dakhla, where a 15h+ bus journey becomes too arduous.

💡
Hold luggage: additional cost

Moroccan bus companies charge a small fee for hold luggage (usually 5-10 DH per piece). Have small change ready and pay attention when dropping off your bags.
