Practical tips

💡
Book in Advance for Peace of Mind

Even though buses are frequent, especially during high season, booking your CTM or Supratours ticket online a few days in advance guarantees you a seat and avoids any last-minute stress. This is particularly true for popular routes.

💡
Opt for CTM or Supratours

These two companies offer the most reliable, comfortable, and fast services. Avoid unofficial local buses, which can be slower, less safe, and depart from different, harder-to-access bus stations.

💡
Plan Your Bus Trip to Dakhla

For very long distances like Dakhla, an internal flight is often preferable to avoid a 15-hour bus ride. Always check the price and duration of a flight before committing to an overnight bus for these extreme destinations.

💡
Understand Bus Stations

In Marrakech, CTM and Supratours often have their own terminals or dedicated sections within the main bus station. Always check the exact departure address to avoid going to the wrong station or platform.

💡
Checked Luggage: Small Fee

Remember that for checked luggage with CTM and Supratours, a small fee (usually 5-10 DH per bag) is payable directly to the driver or attendant before departure. Have some small change ready.
