Practical tips
Whether for the bus (CTM, Supratours) or plane, book your tickets online a few days in advance, especially during high season. This guarantees availability and often better rates, avoiding last-minute disappointments.
For bus journeys in Morocco, always prioritize CTM or Supratours. These companies offer modern, air-conditioned vehicles and faster, safer routes than local buses, ensuring optimal comfort.
When booking domestic flights, double-check the departure and arrival airports. They can sometimes be far from city centers, adding travel time and costs to your budget.
On CTM and Supratours buses, a small fee is often requested for large luggage stored in the hold (around 5-10 DH). Keep local currency handy to facilitate boarding.
If a night bus journey exceeds 8-10 hours, always check domestic flights. A flight can often save you a full day of travel and fatigue, even with a slightly higher budget.
