Getting around Morocco
General information
When putting together your Morocco family holiday, our travel specialists will also arrange your transport for you, so you can look forward to a hassle free trip. We can arrange self-drive holidays or a private car and driver. There are also journeys you can do by bus or train. Below you’ll find some more information about the options we offer for travelling through Morocco with your family.
Car hire
A self-drive family holiday to Morocco may not be the first thing that springs to mind, but renting a car is an excellent way of exploring this beautiful country, giving you complete freedom and the chance to travel at your own pace. The roads (particularly the motorways) are in good condition and the signage is clear. We will also provide you with full information and detailed directions, and our local partners are on hand 24/7 should you need assistance.
Bus
If you don’t feel like covering the distances by rental car, a scheduled bus is a good alternative. You can travel by bus from Casablanca to Rabat, Meknes, Fez and Marrakech. Reliable bus services also operate between Marrakech and the beach towns of Agadir and Essaouira. We can arrange the bus tickets for you in advance on Supratours and CTM, these are the most reliable bus companies with good quality buses. We do not recommend using local government buses, the driving style of the drivers leaves much to be desired, the buses are of poor quality and they almost never run on time.
Train
Morocco has a limited but well-constructed railway network. Travelling by train from Casablanca to Marrakech is an ideal way of getting between these two cities. The train also operates between the royal cities of Rabat, Meknes and Fez. We can arrange the train tickets for you in advance so that your seat is reserved.
Private car and driver
Our airport transfers are carried out by private transfers as standard, and there are some bite-sized trips where having a private car and driver is more convenient. If you would like to travel by private transport throughout Morocco, please let us know and we can give you a price indication. Travelling by private car is not always the cheapest option, but if you are travelling with a family of four or more, for example, the price is generally more cost-effective.
Travelling with meaning
We always encourage people to travel by local transport, wherever possible, for a more authentic experience. It also gives you the chance to interact with local people. Of course by far the most sustainable way to travel when in a town or city is on foot as you’ll see so much more and can soak up the atmosphere along the way.
