A practical guide to leaving your bags around Marrakech's transport hubs: the ONCF train station, the Supratours terminal, the CTM coach station, and the Bab Doukkala gare routière.
Most travelers don't think of Marrakech as a transport hub, but it is. The city has four distinct stations spread across very different neighborhoods:
If you're transferring between trains and coaches, or arriving on one and leaving on another, you almost certainly need somewhere to drop your bags for a few hours. This guide covers what is actually available at each station, what isn't, and how to plan around it.
The ONCF station was rebuilt in 2008 and is one of the most modern in Morocco — clean, well-signed, with cafés and a small commercial gallery. Despite that, dedicated long-stay luggage storage inside the station is unreliable. ONCF has historically offered limited locker capacity, but availability is not advertised online and they are not bookable in advance.
Practical reality:
Plan B: drop bags in the surrounding Gueliz blocks (Avenue Mohammed V, Avenue Hassan II) where partner storage networks operate with longer hours.
Supratours runs the official ONCF coach network, with the Marrakech ↔ Essaouira route being its most-used connection (around 3 hours, 80–100 MAD). The terminal is physically attached to the ONCF train station — same footprint, separate ticket counter on the side of the building.
For luggage:
CTM (Compagnie de Transports au Maroc) is the largest private coach operator. The Marrakech terminal sits on Avenue Hassan II, about a 12-minute walk from the train station. Routes serve every major city in Morocco — Casablanca, Rabat, Fes, Tangier, Agadir, Dakhla.
For luggage:
This is the older, busier and more chaotic bus station — used by smaller operators, regional lines and grands taxis collectifs to villages around the Atlas. It sits just outside the Medina ramparts near Bab Doukkala gate.
For luggage:
Stay in Gueliz. The neighborhood within a 5-minute walk of the station has:
Drop bags either next to the CTM station on Avenue Hassan II, or up the road in central Gueliz — both keep you within walking distance for pickup before your coach. CTM coaches are typically punctual; aim to arrive 45 minutes before departure.
Look for storage points on the Medina side, ideally between Bab Doukkala and the Mouassine quarter. This keeps you near both the bus station and the souks for the time you spend in the city. Avoid the temptation to "leave it with a café" — there is no recourse if something goes wrong.
Supratours and ONCF run as a single ticketed network, which means:
This is the most common reason travelers search for "luggage storage Marrakech Supratours" — they have a long layover at the station and want to actually see Marrakech without their suitcase.
| Service | Price (MAD/bag/day) |
|---|---|
| ONCF lockers (when available) | 20–40 |
| Gueliz partner storage networks | 30–45 |
| Hotel storage for non-guests | 50–100 |
| Medina-side partner storage (Bab Doukkala) | 30–45 |
Booking online generally saves cash and gives you a guaranteed slot — important during peak season and festivals.
Is there guaranteed left luggage at Marrakech train station? No — capacity is limited and not bookable. Plan a Gueliz alternative.
Can I store luggage at the Supratours counter? No walk-in left-luggage service. Bags go on the coach you're booked on.
Where is the Marrakech CTM station? Avenue Hassan II in Gueliz, about 12 minutes' walk from the ONCF train station.
What about the Bab Doukkala bus station? No formal consigne — use a Medina-side partner storage point within walking distance.
Are there lockers at the train station? Sometimes a small number near the platforms, but they are not advertised or reservable.
