Getting There & Away
Border Crossing
The border with Algeria is closed, but in the unlikely event of it reopening, it’s 3km from Figuig
to Moroccan customs, and a further 4km to the Algerian town of Beni Ounif.
Bus
Arriving in Figuig, buses stop at the ‘bus station’ – little more than a junction and three ticket
offices – at the north end of town. They then continue on to the lower town, terminating at
Tachraft Square in Zenaga; if you’re staying at the Figuig Hotel, ask the driver to drop you off.
Always check out transport options the day before travelling. There are two buses a day with
Champion Buses to Oujda (Dh70, seven hours), and one every other day with CTM (Dh95). All
stop at Bouarfa, where you can change for connections to Er-Rachidia.
