Getting Around Morocco: Trains, Buses, Grand Taxis & Private Drivers Compared
Morocco's transport options range from an efficient train network to flexible private drivers — the right choice depends on your route.
Morocco's transport options range from an efficient train network to flexible private drivers — the right choice depends on your route.
ONCF trains connect major cities like Casablanca, Rabat, Marrakech and Fes comfortably and on schedule, but don't reach the desert or mountains.
CTM and Supratours buses reach smaller towns affordably; shared grand taxis fill gaps buses don't cover, though comfort varies.
For multi-stop routes through the desert, mountains and smaller towns, a private driver-guide is by far the most comfortable and flexible option, and the standard choice for most visitors' desert tours.
