Morocco Routes: City to City Guides
How to travel between Morocco's cities: train, bus, taxi or private driver, with real driving times, stops worth making and the trip from the airports.
Each guide below compares the train, the bus, the shared grand taxi and a private driver on one route: travel time, comfort, luggage and the trip from the airport, with the stops worth making on the way.
The table gives the road distance and driving time of the routes travellers ask about most, from the same figures as our transfer bookings. Times do not include stops.
Every transfer is private and priced per vehicle, and any route not listed here is quoted on request.
