The Al Boraq

Morocco's high-speed train links Tanger Ville, Kenitra, Rabat Agdal and Casa Voyageurs. On the trains on sale for a Thursday in November 2026, journey times were 1 h 22 from Tangier to Rabat, 2 h 17 from Tangier to Casablanca and 50 minutes from Rabat to Casablanca, with 14 trains a day in each direction between 6:00 and 21:00.

Watch the station names: in Rabat it stops at Rabat Agdal (not Rabat Ville) and in Casablanca at Casa Voyageurs (not Casa Port).

The extension to Marrakesh is under construction and its opening is announced for September 2029, according to the Moroccan press.
