Practical tips

💡
Book your tickets in advance

Especially if you're traveling on weekends or holidays, buying your CTM or Supratours bus ticket online a few days beforehand guarantees you a seat and avoids waiting or having to take a less comfortable bus. It's simple and quick via 12go.asia.

💡
Choose CTM or Supratours

These two companies offer the most reliable and comfortable services. Avoid local buses for long journeys, as they can be slower, less regular, and less comfortable, even if sometimes slightly cheaper. The price difference is minimal for increased comfort.

💡
Plan ahead for Dakhla

If you are considering a trip to Dakhla from a northern city, be aware that the bus would take 15 hours or more. For this extreme distance, a domestic flight is not only faster but often better value for your time and comfort. Do not hesitate to check domestic flights that beat the overnight bus.

💡
Check the bus station

In Marrakech, CTM and Supratours often have their own terminals or dedicated sections within the main bus station. Double-check the exact departure address to avoid any confusion and save time on the day. An error can lead to delays.

💡
Tanger-Spain ferry: easy with the right info

For the crossing to Tarifa or Algeciras, companies like FRS or InterShipping are reliable. Book online to compare prices and schedules. Tanger Ville port is for Tarifa (fast), Tanger Med for Algeciras (larger port). Simple once you know which port to choose.
