Practical tips

💡
CTM or Supratours: Quality First

For a comfortable and fast journey, always prioritize CTM or Supratours. They are more reliable, the buses are more modern, and the trips are better organized than local companies. This will help you avoid unexpected stops and extended travel times.

💡
Book Online for Peace of Mind

Plan ahead and book your bus tickets online, especially if you're traveling during peak season or on popular routes. This guarantees your seat and saves you the stress of ticket counters. Platforms like 12go.asia or BaoLau.vn make booking easy.

💡
Check the Bus Station

Marrakech has several bus stations. Make sure to correctly identify your company's departure station (CTM often has its own station, Supratours is usually next to the ONCF train station). A quick check will save you from rushing around.

💡
Night Journeys: When to Say No to a Flight

For journeys like Marrakech-Tinghir, a flight is not relevant. Night bus journeys are worth considering for very long distances like to Dakhla. Here, a 4-hour day bus ride is perfectly manageable and will save you money.

💡
Onboard Comfort and Breaks

CTM and Supratours buses are generally comfortable, with air conditioning. Bring water and some snacks. Breaks are usually scheduled on long journeys, but a 4-hour trip will likely be direct, without extended stops.

Planning your trip from Marrakech to Tinghir and wondering about the best transport option? In Morocco, the bus network is your best bet for most journeys. For this route, the bus is not only the most practical but also the most direct. Forget about the complications of internal flights or ferries for medium distances like this one.

Expect to pay around 8 € for a ticket, and the journey takes approximately 4 hours. CTM and Supratours are your best options, offering comfortable and reliable buses. There's no need to look for a flight for this type of distance; the bus is the obvious choice.

In short, to get from Marrakech to Tinghir, the bus is the ideal solution. It will save you an unnecessarily long night journey and ensure a quick and economical arrival. You can book your tickets online with confidence for immediate confirmation and avoid any last-minute stress.
