🚌 CTM BUS 🚌
▸ We found it easier (and cheaper) to buy the tickets at the bus station rather than online since the website is only in French and a printed copy was needed plus we could get multiple tickets for different parts of our trip all at one go in person.
▸ There is a small fee for each big luggage that you'll need a bag tag for (small bags can go on the shelf above your seat don't need tags). You get these on the day you "check in" for your bus.
▸ The seats are allocated seating and it's best to try get your tickets at least a few days in advance in case they sell out.

📱 ADDITIONAL SIM TOP UP INFO 📱
▸ For Maroc, if your USSD doesn't allow you to check your remaining data, you can send a text to 580 to get the info. Text anything eg. "data" to 580 and you'll receive a text back about your credit. ▸ Use Google translate to understand the message if you can't read French (like us)! This text option will cost 1dh (vs USSD which would be free but we found it never worked).
▸ If using the scratchie top up option for Maroc internet data, text the code to: 555*3
▸ If you run into connectivity issues with Maroc like we did initially (where only social media apps and WhatsApp would work), check your phone's settings under "Access Point Names" (APNs) and make sure it's set on "Internet Mobile".

We filmed this "Things to know before going to Morocco" video in Marrakesh at the Koutoubia, Jemaa el-Fna, and Le Jardin Secret (Secret Garden).
