Practical tips
Always opt for CTM and Supratours. These are the two reliable national companies, offering speed and comfort. Their buses are more modern than local options, and their stations are better organized. Slightly more expensive, but worth it for peace of mind.
If a bus journey exceeds 8-10 hours, especially overnight, check domestic flights with Royal Air Maroc or Air Arabia. A flight to Dakhla can cost between 40-120€, but will save you a full day and ensure a comfortable night's sleep. Always compare!
For CTM and Supratours buses, book your tickets online a few days in advance, especially if traveling during Moroccan school holidays or religious festivals. Seats sell out quickly, particularly on popular routes like Marrakech-Fes.
Each major company (CTM, Supratours) often has its own station, which may differ from the local bus terminal. Double-check the departure address on your ticket. Don't hesitate to ask locals or your accommodation for help to avoid mistakes on travel day.
For ferries to Tarifa or Algeciras from Tangier, book your tickets online to secure your spot and potentially get better rates. Departure ports are Tangier Ville (for Tarifa) or Tangier Med (for Algeciras). Arrive at least 1.5 hours before departure.
🛣️ The journey experience
As an independent traveler, Morocco welcomes you with an surprisingly efficient transport network. However, it's not always easy to decipher the best transport option when planning from abroad. Don't worry: whether you're a fan of comfortable buses, a frequent flyer for very long distances, or you're considering a ferry crossing to Spain, we have the keys to a peaceful journey.
For most of your trips between imperial cities or along the coast, the bus is king. CTM and Supratours offer excellent value for money, with modern and punctual coaches. But beware of misconceptions: while a journey like Kenitra-Tangier takes only 3 hours, others can stretch for 10 to 15 hours, especially overnight. This is where flying, for distant destinations like Dakhla, becomes a relevant alternative, despite a slightly higher cost.
Our goal is to help you avoid unpleasant surprises, such as an endless overnight bus ride when a cheap flight would have been wiser, or choosing the wrong bus station. We will guide you to select the best company, understand the intricacies of online bookings, and even master boarding for ferries to Spain. Travel with peace of mind; we've tested the ground for you.
Frequently asked questions — Kenitra → Tangier
For the Kenitra-Tangier route, the bus is undoubtedly the most efficient means of transport. There are no direct flights for such a short distance, and the train is less frequent and sometimes more expensive. CTM or Supratours coaches will take you directly and comfortably in about 3 hours.
A bus ticket between Kenitra and Tangier costs around 8€ (approximately 80-90 Moroccan dirhams). The journey duration is about 3 hours. These prices and durations are indicative and may vary slightly depending on the company (CTM or Supratours) and the departure time.
