Practical tips
Always prioritize CTM or Supratours for your medium to long journeys. Their buses are faster, more comfortable, and safer than local buses. You'll avoid frequent stops and enjoy a more direct trip. The price difference is minimal for maximum comfort.
To guarantee your seat, especially during peak seasons (holidays, weekends), book your bus tickets online via platforms like 12go.asia or directly on the company websites (CTM, Supratours). This will save you the stress of ticket counters and queues.
Even with a ticket in hand, it's recommended to arrive at least 30 minutes before departure. This gives you time to check in your luggage (often a small extra fee) and find your platform calmly.
For very distant destinations like Dakhla, a domestic flight is often preferable to a 15-hour overnight bus. The extra cost is justified by the time saved and comfort. For 3-6 hour journeys, the bus is unbeatable in terms of value for money. Always compare on 12go.asia.
Upon arrival in Tangier, have some small change for a taxi or be ready to use a ride-hailing app if available. Bus stations are often located outside the city center. A map of your final destination in Tangier is helpful to show the driver.
