From Marrakech:
The CTM Bus leaves the Marrakesh Terminal near the Railway Station in the Gueliz at 11:15 am. We recommend that you purchase your tickets to M’Hamid the day before you would like to travel.
You will travel until the last stop. It is important that you let us know that you are travelling in advance to ensure that we will be waiting for you in the station.
It is simply a spectacular voyage, as one travels through a myriad of landscapes from the bustle of Marrakech through the breathtaking mountains to the calming and beautiful desert landscape of the M’Hamid.
Please be advised that there is no onboard toilet. However, the bus makes several stops. The first one on the outward journey is at Taddert (a lunch Stop of about 25 minutes) in the High Atlas mountains just before the Tichka Pass. Here you will have time to go to one of the nearby restaurants. The next stop is at about 4pm in the very modern CTM Terminus in Ouarzazate, where you will find a coffee shop & toilets. The next short stops are in Agdz, at the beginning of the Draa Valley, followed by stops in Zagora, Tagounite, Ouled Driss and finally arriving in M’Hamid.
From Casablanca:
