Practical tips

💡
Opt for CTM or Supratours

These two companies offer the best comfort and safety standards in Morocco. Avoid local bus companies, which are often less reliable and slower for long distances. Always choose CTM or Supratours for a hassle-free experience.

💡
Book Online in Advance

To guarantee your seat and secure the best schedules, especially during peak season, book your CTM or Supratours bus tickets online. Platforms like 12go.asia or the companies' websites make this process easy with immediate confirmation.

💡
Anticipate the Journey to Dakhla

For very distant destinations like Dakhla, a domestic flight is often more sensible than a 15-hour or longer overnight bus. Keep an eye on offers from local airlines (Royal Air Maroc, Air Arabia Maroc) for good value.

💡
Identify the Correct Bus Station

In some Moroccan cities, there might be multiple bus stations. Make sure you know exactly where your CTM or Supratours bus will depart from, as they are often separate from the main local bus station. Double-check the exact address when booking.

💡
Prepare Your Ferry Trip to Spain

If you're traveling from Tangier to Tarifa or Algeciras, book your ferry online well in advance, especially in summer. Companies like FRS or Balearia are the most common. Fares can vary significantly, so compare.

🛣️ The journey experience

Traveling from northern to southern Morocco, specifically from Kenitra to Safi, is an experience that combines discovery and practicality. For this specific connection, you won't have to worry about domestic flights or ferries. The intercity bus is your most reliable and direct ally to connect these two coastal cities, offering a perfect balance between comfort and price. Forget about endlessly long night journeys; this one is much more manageable.

For this Kenitra to Safi route, CTM and Supratours buses are your best options. Expect approximately 5 hours of travel for a price around 14 €. These companies are renowned for their punctuality and comfort, far superior to local buses. You will benefit from reclining seats, air conditioning, and sometimes Wi-Fi, allowing you to fully enjoy the coastal scenery.

In short, between Kenitra and Safi, the bus is clearly the right choice. It's a reasonable travel time that does not justify an expensive flight or the complexity of another mode of transport. Booking online through platforms like 12go.asia or directly on the CTM/Supratours websites will secure your seat and provide immediate confirmation, avoiding any unpleasant surprises at the bus station.
