Practical tips

💡
Book your bus tickets in advance

For CTM or Supratours journeys, especially on weekends or public holidays, book your tickets online in advance. This guarantees you a seat and saves you waiting at the station. Do not settle for local buses if CTM/Supratours is available.

💡
Check airports for Dakhla

For distant destinations like Dakhla, a domestic flight is often the best option to avoid a very long bus journey (sometimes 15 hours or more). Compare prices and durations; the time saving is significant, and the cost can be reasonable.

💡
Identify the correct bus station

In Morocco, large cities can have multiple bus stations. CTM and Supratours often have their own terminals or dedicated sections. Make sure you know which station corresponds to your company to avoid any confusion.

💡
Prepare for night journeys

If you opt for an overnight bus, bring a light blanket, a travel pillow, and earplugs. Some buses are air-conditioned, and nights can be cool, even in the desert. Stay well hydrated.

💡
Use online booking platforms

Websites like 12go.asia or the official company sites (CTM, Supratours) allow you to compare and book buses, flights, and ferries online. It's convenient, secure, and gives you immediate confirmation of your itinerary.

🛣️ The journey experience

Traveling from Oujda to Marrakech is a key step in exploring Morocco. But how do you choose between a long bus journey and a faster domestic flight? Our goal is to give you all the information to make an informed decision, avoiding unpleasant surprises like an endless night bus or a late discovery of a more efficient option.

For this specific route, you have two main options: bus and plane. The bus is the most economical option, with an average cost of 18€ for approximately 10 hours of travel. Companies like CTM or Supratours offer reliable and comfortable services. If you prefer to save time and prioritize comfort, the plane is an excellent alternative. A direct flight takes about 2 hours for a budget of 55€, which is very competitive for such a distance.

Our advice: if you are not in a hurry and want to admire Morocco's changing landscapes at a lower cost, the bus is an excellent choice. However, if your time is limited or you want to avoid an overnight bus, flying is clearly the best option. Remember to book your tickets online via platforms like 12go.asia for immediate confirmation and better management of your itinerary.
