Although Morocco seems a world away from our home countries, it is able to offer comparable travel options, largely due to the influence of former French rule.
Railways
The new train station at Tangier was built by the French and, true to French repute, it is remarkably efficient, perhaps even better than back home!
Trains in Morocco are very comfortable and fairly inexpensive. The state owned network, ONCF, connects a limited network of routes, but for travel between major cities they are an excellent option. Trains are reliable, comfortable, fast, and efficient.
Reservations for tickets can only be made for first class journeys.
Supratours: is a bus company owned by the rail network, to cover the areas east of the Atlas mountains and south of Marrakech, which are not yet served by the train network. Buses connect smoothly to intercity trains. Tickets for combined train and bus journeys are sold in one package, known as “Rail & Route”.
All train stations have clear signs and displays in Arabic and French to help you find your way around. Platform displays also indicate expected delays.
