Ouarzazate to Er Rachidia bus tickets

Traveler notes

How travelers usually plan Ouarzazate to Er Rachidia.

Ouarzazate is a southern gateway for desert, valley, and kasbah itineraries, while Er Rachidia is an eastern desert gateway used for longer Sahara-bound itineraries. This is usually a longer overland route used for desert, kasbah, or far-south itineraries, so arrival timing matters more than on a short city hop.

Recent checked route facts showed a fastest listed transport of 4h, a route distance around 200 kilometers, departures shown from 12:00 AM to 11:00 PM, and 1 published departures per day. Recent checked coach listings included Supratours, Compagnie De Transports Au Maroc, and CTM. The exact mix can still change by date and availability.

Before departure, Give yourself extra buffer before departure because longer southern routes are harder to recover if you miss the coach. After arrival, Arrival timing matters here because onward camp transfers, kasbah stays, or desert pickups are often coordinated around the coach reaching town.
