I've done Marakech to Casablanca, Casablanca to Kinitra and back on the Al Boraq, and Tangier to Fes and back before they had the high-speed train. I had a wonderful time on Moroccan trains. Great service. Largely on-time. Fun conversations with local people.

I would like to go to Casablanca. Beautiful city in Morocco. With stunning building and beautiful palm trees.

[lordelias]

Thank you for this interesting video, I suggest you take the train that connects Casablanca and Oujda or Nador you will see a lot of landscapes from the valleys and fields of the western coast, the tunnels and mountains of the centre and finally the desert and red rocks in the east this is my best trip in Morocco

[rezaalan]

Great trip and great experience. That train door views is amazing.

[gurrenmed]

When I travel at night from Casablanca to Tangier in the train, I always find a chance to open the door and get that feeling of the wind and to see that beautiful night view. I swear to God we literally have the best trains

[andynorris]

I did Marrakech to Casablanca and then Casablanca to Rabat and then back to Marrakech last year and was pleasantly surprised with trains in Morocco. Missed out on the Al boraw sadly

[pascalnemecek]

Vraiment magnifique vidéo ferroviaire entre Casablanca et Fez . Paysages magnifiques et commentaire intéressant. Merci pour ce partage 🙏👍🚂🚃🚃📽️🤩🤩👋 Salutations de Normandie 👋

[ricksipes]

I had never thought of Morocco as a destination before, especially for train trips. This vid has changed my mind. I remember when we were in The Canaries, you could take a day trip to Morocco. but instead we took a 3 day trip to Madrid., for $100US, hotel and airfare, for both of us. Well, it was the 80's before Spain joined the EU. Thanks for showing us Morocco

Not doors but opening windows you can lean out of can be found on Swiss trains operated by Rhätische Bahnen (RhB) running along mountain routes with beautiful views. So if you're ever in Switzerland, you gotta try them.

Best railway system in Africa. You used to be able to do the open door thing in England about 40 years ago!

[maroc]

Actually, it's Morocco who influenced Iberia and southern Europe with it's Amazigh building architecture, when Morocco colonized Spain and Portugal for over 800 years.
Thanks for the report.
Long live our kingdoms

[PatrickLechevallier]

Beautiful video!I know Morocco very well and I can assure that it has one the best train system in Africa (if not the best)!Since we are in North Africa why not try Algeria and Tunesia?I have never seen videos about railways in these countries and I think that it would be interesting.Thank you again for the pour le partage.

Coolest Moquette I've seen in ages

14:31 I wish you made a review onboard the RENFE S121 CAF Cepia. But your videos are always good

[PhoenixAviation]

Gatimaan Express (160kmph) used to have non locking doors but now they retrofitted the coaches with auto doors :(

[jabberwockytdi]

From hanging out the window of UK HST's over the years ( RIP opening windows in UK) from 90 mph it's get's pretty hard, 125 mph is crazy, takes your breath away.

[PaulSmith-plfo]

Some great scenic shots. Damned dangerous doors! I started to be impressed by the first-class carriages...then things started to go downhill - the lack of disabled facilities, the poor snack trolley (for a 3-hour journey) and the (almost) unusable toilets. Did you buy the obligatory red hat with tassel in Fes?

[luke]

Will the TGV-like trains run this route sometime soon? I wish to travel from Casablanca to Fes, then up north to Tangier. After that, maybe take the boat going to Spain

[benklomp]

2:48 that suspiciously looks like an SNCB AM80 in disguise!
