Practical tips
These two companies offer the most reliable and comfortable services for long-distance travel in Morocco. Their buses are modern, air-conditioned, and punctual. Avoid unofficial local companies for better safety and comfort.
Especially during peak seasons or public holidays, tickets can sell out quickly. Book your Marrakech-Kénitra bus tickets online through the CTM or Supratours websites, or platforms like 12go.asia, to secure your seat and avoid last-minute stress.
Even for a 5-hour journey, a small travel pillow, headphones, and a bottle of water will make your trip more enjoyable. Stops are infrequent on this type of route, so be prepared.
Make sure to arrive at the bus station at least 30 minutes before departure time. Allow ample time for the journey from your accommodation to the station, especially in Marrakech where traffic can be heavy.
Bus companies often have specific luggage policies, with a small extra charge for checked baggage. Keep valuables and important documents with you in the cabin.
