You can take the Al Boraq High-Speed Train
One of the fastest ways to get from Tangier to Marrakech is to take the train. The first part of the trip is the two-hour Al Boraq high-speed train ride from Tangier to Casablanca. After that, you change to a regular train that will take you to Marrakech, a trip that takes about three hours. It takes about 5.5 hours to get there all together. You can buy tickets at the station or online. Prices range from 300 to 600 MAD, based on the class and how early you book. Travelers who value comfort and speed will love this choice.
As a bus ride (CTM or Supratours)
A cheap way to get from Tangier to Marrakech is to take a bus run by a company like CTM or Supratours. But the trip takes longer—ten to twelve hours at least. The buses are primarily new and comfy, making a few stops. The tickets aren’t too expensive—between 150 and 300 MAD—so this is a good choice for people who want to save money. You can either buy tickets at the bus stop or book them online.
Driven
The drive from Tangier to Marrakech is beautiful and gives you much freedom. Depending on traffic and how often you stop, it takes about 7 to 9 hours. If you rent a car, you can stop at interesting places, like Chefchaouen, Rabat, or other towns. Gas for this trip costs between 500 and 900 MAD, and there are tolls along the way. This is a good choice for people who like to take their time.
By Air
Air travel from Tangier to Marrakech is the fastest. The trip takes around one hour. This path gives Air Arabia and Royal Air Maroc direct routes. Even though the flight is short, you should also allow time for security checks, checking in at the airport, and getting to and from the airport. All of these things can add a few hours to your trip. Ticket prices range from 500 to 1,500 MAD, depending on how early you buy them. This is an excellent choice for tourists who want to cut down on time.
By Taxi Shared (Grand Taxi)
A big taxi is a more traditional and local way to get from one city to another in Morocco. There are usually a lot of people in these shared cabs. They can get a little crowded, but they’re faster than buses, which take 8 to 10 hours to get there. Most of the time, this choice costs between 300 and 600 MAD. Shared taxis are a more authentic way to travel in Morocco. They are usually faster than buses but less comfortable than other choices.
