Getting between Moroccan cities
Real driving times, not the ones Google Maps prints — with the stops, the checkpoints and the lunch break.
- Tangier (Tanger) to Chefchaouen: Distance and Buses115 km2h 15Tanger–Chefchaouen distance is 115 km through the Rif and takes 2h 15, not 90 minutes. Which Tangier terminal, CTM times, grand taxis, and no train.
- Marrakech to Essaouira: Distance, Bus and Real Times176 km3h 15Distance Marrakech–Essaouira is 176 km. The coach takes three hours, we drive it in 3h 15 with one stop, and there is no Marrakech–Essaouira train.
- Marrakech to Ouarzazate: Is the Tichka Route Dangerous?196 km4hThe route Marrakech–Ouarzazate is 196 km over the 2,260 m Tizi n'Tichka and takes four hours. Is it dangerous? A straight answer, plus fog, snow and bus times.
- Fes to Chefchaouen: Distance, Bus Times and the Road200 km4hFes–Chefchaouen distance is 200 km through the Rif and takes four hours, not three. Bus times, the grand taxi route, and why there is no train at all.
- Casablanca to Marrakech: Distance, Train and Drive240 km3hCasablanca–Marrakech distance is 240 km. The train takes about three hours and beats driving. Times, stations, the airport connection and when a car wins.
- Marrakech to Agadir: Distance, Bus and the Real Drive250 km3h 30Agadir–Marrakech distance is 250 km over the Tizi n'Maachou. Three and a half hours by coach, no train, and why we refuse to sell it as a day trip.
- Marrakech to Rabat: Distance, Train and Which Station320 km4hRabat–Marrakech distance is 320 km. The train takes about four hours and there are two Rabat stations — get off at the wrong one and you lose an hour.
- Marrakech to Fes (Fez), Morocco: Train, Road, Sahara530 km7h 30The Marrakech to Fes train takes about seven hours for 530 km across Morocco. Driving direct is dull; three days to Fez through the Sahara is the better trade.
