Practical tips

💡
Opt for CTM/Supratours

For intercity travel in Morocco, CTM and Supratours are the companies to choose. They offer modern, air-conditioned buses and faster journeys than local companies. The price difference is minimal for significantly better comfort.

💡
Book your tickets online

To guarantee your seat, especially during peak seasons, book your CTM or Supratours bus tickets online in advance. This will save you from queues and last-minute stress. Platforms like 12go.asia can assist you.

💡
Plan your arrival at the station

Arrive at the bus station at least 30 minutes before departure to allow time for luggage check-in. There is often a small fee for each checked bag, payable directly to staff.

💡
Domestic flights vs. Night buses

For very long distances like to Dakhla, a domestic flight might be more sensible than a 15-hour night bus. Always compare door-to-door prices and durations, as a flight can prove more economical in terms of time and fatigue.

💡
Understanding Tangier ferries

From Tangier, ferries to Tarifa or Algeciras in Spain are frequent. Make sure to book in advance, especially during high season. There are two ports in Tangier: Tangier Ville (for Tarifa) and Tangier Med (for Algeciras).
