Practical tips

💡
Prioritize CTM and Supratours

For a fast and comfortable journey like Marrakech-Khouribga, always choose CTM or Supratours. They are more reliable, punctual, and offer modern buses, unlike the slower and less comfortable local buses.

💡
Book in Advance

Especially during weekends or holidays, buy your bus ticket a few days in advance. This guarantees you a seat and avoids the stress of crowded ticket counters on the day of departure.

💡
Flights vs. Overnight Buses

For very long distances like Dakhla, a domestic flight is often preferable to a 15-hour overnight bus. For 3-5 hour journeys like Marrakech-Khouribga, the bus is unbeatable, and flying is not an option.

💡
Identify Your Bus Station

In Marrakech, CTM and Supratours often have their own stations or dedicated terminals different from the main bus station. Double-check your departure point to avoid any mistakes.

💡
Book Online for Peace of Mind

Use reliable online platforms like 12go.asia to book your bus tickets. You'll receive immediate confirmation and have all necessary information at your fingertips, which is very convenient.
