Traveling across Morocco from Tangier to Marrakech by train!
In this video, I take the Al Boraq high-speed bullet train—Africa’s first bullet train running at speeds up to 320 km/h—and connect via Casablanca to Marrakech.
What you will see in this video:
- Early morning walk in Tangier Medina & negotiating local Petit Taxi fares (avoiding scams)
- Gare Tanger-Ville & Al Boraq 1st Class Lounge
- 1st Class duplex train tour, seat comfort & cafe/bistro car prices
- Transfer in Casablanca & price comparison
- Traditional Al Atlas train delay & arriving in the intense Marrakech heat!
Is 1st class worth the extra cost? All actual prices and practical tips included!
