Casablanca City Guide - Getting There By Rail

Casablanca is served by reasonably fast, efficient and comfortable intercity trains, operated by the national rail company ONCF (tel: (037) 773 254; website: www.oncf.ma), from Tangier, Marrakech, Meknes and Fes that terminate at the Casa Voyageur station, 2km (1.25 miles) from the city centre. Rabat trains arrive at the downtown Casa Port station. First and second-class accommodation is available. The word ‘express' usually refers to comfort levels rather than speed. Second-class fares are slightly more expensive than equivalent bus tariffs. Couchettes are available on night services. InterRail (tel: +44 0870 084 1410 in the UK; website: www.interrail.com) tickets are valid in Morocco but small supplements may be payable, while US-based EuroRail (tel: 1 877 257 2887 in the US or 1 800 361 7245/RAIL in Canada; website: www.raileurope.com) offers good value passes giving three or eight days unlimited travel on Moroccan railways.
