Practical tips

💡
Prioritize CTM or Supratours

For intercity travel in Morocco, CTM and Supratours are the most reliable and comfortable companies. Their buses are modern, air-conditioned, and adhere to schedules. Avoid unofficial local buses, which are often slower and less safe.

💡
Book your tickets in advance

Especially during weekends or holidays, buses can be fully booked. For peace of mind, book your tickets online via platforms like 12go.asia or directly on the companies' websites (CTM.ma, Supratours.ma) to guarantee your seat.

💡
Plan ahead for long distances

If you're considering journeys longer than 8-10 hours (like to Dakhla), always compare with a domestic flight. A flight might be more expensive but will save you valuable time and avoid an exhausting overnight trip. Check prices with airlines.

💡
Locate bus stations

CTM and Supratours often have their own dedicated stations or terminals, separate from local bus stations. Check the exact address of your departure station in Kenitra and arrival in Tetouan to avoid any confusion.

💡
Prepare for your ferry trip

If your next step is Spain via Tangier, research ferries to Tarifa or Algeciras. Book in advance, especially during high season. Plan to arrive at the port at least 1h30 before departure for formalities.
