The Train from Marrakech to Casablanca, Morocco: Our Experience
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 มี.ค. 2019
- We recently visited Morocco and took the train from Marrakech to Casablanca. It was scheduled for 3.5 hours, but took a bit longer than 4 hours. It was a pleasant experience for all. We recommend getting the 1st class tickets for a bit more space and comfort.

Morocco is Beautiful 😍😍😍😍
@سقراط sokrat I'm from Poland my friend
I respectfully desagree: beautifull is moroccan
Please do more train vlogs.....they are awesome. Thanks for all that you post. It means a lot for someone to share their time and travel with me. I appreciate it.
You sound an amazing person you very welcome in Morocco I hope you enjoy every moment.
My parents r from Morocco. I’m going TODAY!! Cuz my family lives there
Its amazing, that you visit Marocco. I am realy looking forward for some more videos about Marocco.
Wow kids are getting big! Every video is spectacular, as someone just getting into travelling in the past few years you're one of my go to sources and I've never been disappointed
Great content as always, you're always one of my first references for travel! You helped me so much for my month-long study abroad in Hong Kong and Beijing 4 summers ago!
My goodness! The train looks exactly like Polish trains
Literally ALL of your videos are so helpful💕
This is very useful for my upcoming trip, thank you for making this, bless you
I’m so happy you’ve posted something on 1. Morocco and 2. Transportation. I really hope you make more country specific transportation videos for “new” travelers like myself who don’t have the opportunity to use public transport in day to day life. Would be super helpful. As always, safe travels Wolters Family!
i am testing out this format to see how it goes over. I have a bunch of countries coming up on travels over the next few months, so i am going to try and get some more like these made.
@@woltersworld Yes! I really enjoyed this more "vlog" style video. Well done!
So happy you're doing Morocco videos as we are planning that trip for next year. Don't know too many people who've visited so can't wait to see your suggestions and tips.
i want give you some tips casablanca it's not for touristing because it's borring city there's just malls and high building you should visite marrakech there's lot of things to see and people there are so kind after that you can take train to casablanca maybe 8 euro for the one and take tgv to tanger it's a beautiful city near of spain and going to tetouan and the blue city chefchaone and if you have more time you can go to visite rabat the capitale of morocco i tell you about this citys because i'm moroccan and i know my country . about where you will living you can stay at hotel and that more expensive than Rent an apartment for 60 or 50 euro for one night that's some information's about morocco and welcome anytime
YOU ROCK WOLTER! What a beautiful family. Keep up the good work!!!
Thank you
This is super helpful. I have two kids as well therefore you reviews fit spot on.
Thanks a lot I travelled to Marrakesh in June 2022 and your video really helped
Welcome to Morocco 😍👍
الله يبارك فيك يا ولدي سلملي على حسن مغربي 😉
Thanks for sharing this is the trip my wife and I have wanted to do for ages thanks so much 😊 🇮🇪☘️
Thank you for the video truly appreciate the tips!
Love to watch more of train travels.love them
Great that you posted this video. I'm a train travel enthusiast but have only travelled around europe. The trains dont seem much different and the train number thing is a great tip.
Very well done, thank you 🙏🏻
Beautiful video
nice family, nice video, good luck and thank you
I want to go to Morocco next year, your video is very helpful 😊
Akatasz welcome

I've done this exact trip, Marrakech to Casablanca first class. it's good! But I wouldn't take a late night service...
I do the night coach from agadir to fess what a experience love it
Thank you sir
V helpful 👍🏻
Hello how are you, thank you for visiting my country Morocco we have good weather and very good food
can you do the high speed train to tangier?
the video is very old
350km/h
Beautiful country
Welcom a marrakech❤
You should have had a Wolters World T-Shirt in the Moroccan flag.
There is another big train station in Casablanca and it's the biggest in Africa
Its name is Casa Port.
+ Try the trip from Casablanca to Tangier using the LGV
the video is very old
A breakdown (what services run where) and comparison (in areas that overlap, what's nicer, more timely, etc) of European trains (TGV, Thalys, ICE, etc.) could be an interesting and useful video
Lived in Kassel for a year and took the train to Berlin once a month. In the Summer on a Sunday it was floor seating only. The snack cart lady did not care. She was going through. Move or loose.
Thank you wonderful to have walk through and helps with feeling more comfortable
man it's the north who has all the cool trains, we in the middle only have that train you rode. well at least we have trains unlike the south and east lol !
There is 8 stops in casablanca al atlas train don't stop in four station and it doesn't even passes by casa port and i'm a subscriber from casablanca and it was a surprise you came here enjoy and be careful hopefuly we meet in the ancient medina
It feels nice seeing you in my country 🤗🤗 welcome
@0:40 Mark walking towards the station dissolving into Jocelyn and the boys is the most ambitious editing I've seen in like...ever for WW. Next we're going to start seeing wipe transitions. 😂
Yep... 1970's star wars swipes coming soon... :)
Tooop
I did this journey about six years ago as a single woman, it was a nice tain journey. There was no snack trolley because it was Ramadan. Casablanca leaves a bit to be desired though.
Didnt you try high speed train from Casablanca to Tangier. called TGV ? glad to see Morocco flag in your tshirt logo lol
the video is very old
Beautiful family. Good travel tips as always. Safe travel and God bless
Should have head north to Gibraltar!
Beautifull is moroccan
I’m from Las Vegas, NV. And Houston TX. I lived in Kenitra which is just north of Rabat. I loved taking the train all over the place. Living in Morocco was a real adventure. Unfortunately my wife divorced me back in Las Vegas. Our son is with her and I am thinking about moving back.
good video ... saw your portugal ones... goin there in june .... casablanca in sept... any advice on currency exchanges at aiport?any advice on travel from airport to city center so i can cab it to my rental at Stay Center
Do the tgv train to Tanger
Can you do a video on how to deal with an airline going bankrupt? I’m currently trying to deal with Wow air going under..
Hello from Texas! Is it better to arrive at Casa Voyageurs or Casa Port in Casablanca? Casa Port seems to be closer to the city center.
I would love to experience train travel; looks awesome Thanks!
Hi.. can you take the train from Casablanca to Fez and from Fez to the Blue City?
RE: Tip for Americans on toilet paper
Keep a dozen fast-food napkins and two individually-packaged wet wipes in your pocket. IN YOUR POCKET.
Japanese toilet paper comes with "extra" in the rolle middle as water cleaning is the default and toilet paper uses need extra for public places.
@@fionafiona1146 I have traveled in Japan. IME all the hotels included bidets built into the toilet. Don't recall if the public toilets did, but then I never used a public toilet in a fashion that would require a bidet.
Outside of Japan, I have encountered
1) toilets with a big roll of toilet paper on the wall and none in the stalls (take what you want into the stall with you -- wasteful);
2) toilets with a kiosk outside that sells 'hygienic' paper in packets; and
3) toilets with machines outside that vend hygienic paper in packets.
Some kiosks sell wet wipes. Not all.
My way is better. This is the voice of experience.
Omg welcome to kech and morocco❤ i wish I ve got the chance to meet you 😞
What about transport up north like chefolan to tangier ?
You're so sweet❤
I live next to casa vogayeur station, I will be very glad meeting you since I am a faithful subscriber, thanks for coming
We are back home now. It was a great visit. We had a fun time
where do youorder tickets from, Mark? :)
How long was the ride from Marrakech to Casablanca?
how does one load a heavy ass suitcase? Is there a baggage car? Or do you have to hoist above your seat, ugh!
Hum? On the tracks? 🤔.
I remember taking that train the bathrooms are the best part (right onto the track )
Cool. I'm going to Marrakech in June
Nguyễn Nathan Welcome❤️🇲🇦
Nguyễn Nathan welcome
That train station looks AMAZING!! Haha although even train stations in Morocco have Mcdonalds 😂 looks like a really nice train, it's kind of cool that you have your own compartment! And pretty nice looking bathroom to. Cool way to travel instead of flying!
it was a compartment with 6 seats. There were 2 other travelers in there with us, but we had enough room for all of us.
Where did you go in Morocco? Also, I did not think that Morocco has good trains.
Train system very good in Morocco alhamdulillah.
Wish the Moroccon brothers and sisters invest in special economic zones i.e. pharmaceutical industry, ICT etc.
This will increase employment and investment in the country.
Can I book the ticket online?
Is this the first for the Africa series ?
this is part of that series. We have more from Morocco coming, then later in the summer we will have Rwanda and Tanzania
@@woltersworld Epic!
Roughly how much was a ticket. Great insight as always, thanks Wolter.
Check their website : www.oncf-voyages.ma/disponibility
How much is the train fares?
Wie oft ich im Jahr in diesem Zug sitze 🤣🤣🤣 er ist so alt meist völlig überfüllt und man bekommt kaum luft da sich 99% der Fenster nicht öffnen lassen aber von Marrakesch nach Casablanca sind es über 400 km und das für 15 Euro dafür nehme ich es gerne in Kauf und wenn du dir einen Hand Ventilator (habe ich mir von einer Marokkanerin abgesehen) mit Ersatz Batterien eine gutes hörbuch einpackst sind die 4 1/5 Stunden schnell rum außerdem kommt regelmäßig ein Wagen mit Getränken und Snacks vorbei wo eine Dose Cola 35 dirahm kostet (0,35cent) und ein Wasser 10 dirahm bist du auch noch gut versorgt was ihr bei der Hitze zu schätzen ist.. 🇲🇦❤️😍🥰
35 dirhams is not 35 cents. It's €3.5
@@quiksilver78 ja du hast recht ich meinte auch nicht 35 dirahm sondern 3.50 dirahm 35 wären auch viel zu hoch da man für 8-10 dirahm ein Liter bekommt 😊aber vielen dank für die Korrektur
Is there a bullet train that goes from marrakesh to fes or marrakesh to Tanger?
Yep there is but it goes from casablanca to tanger
why don't get at casablanca oasis ?
Mr Wolter how mach tiket us $ ?
Do you happen to know how much a ticket for one adult costs? Also any idea how much longer it would have taken to go to Fez? Thank you for all your videos. I always check before i go somewhere new to see if you have a video.
i think Fez was 7 hours or something like that
Check their website : www.oncf-voyages.ma/disponibility
We did that trip in 2006. Fantastic. We also visited Rabat which is near Casablanca.
Mary Rose Dwyer Rabat is the capital yeah? Many people think there is Marrakech and Casablanca only.. 😅
@@sahilanant123 I know Rabat is the Capital. We visited Italian friends who lived at the time. We hope to go back in the autumn and include Fez. Lovely country to explore.
Mary Rose Dwyer Would love to visit sometime. Quite a few flights from Dubai.
@@sahilanant123 Beautiful for a holiday. Casablanca is on the coast. In parts it has a French feel to it as has Rabat. French were there for nearly a 100 yrs until 1956. Different from Marrakech. Anywhere I have been even the seaside town of Agadir wonderful. Completely different to Dubai. Dubai is too built up. Nice in I suppose a modern way.
Mary Rose Dwyer I think it is very close to Gibraltar yeah? Also I have lived in Dubai nearly all my life with family. I am from India though 😅
Almost sounds like the Crosby Stills & Nash song
In short: Inexpensive and comfortable in the first class. My wife and I traveled by train from Fez to Marrakech in 2015. That was 8 hours because of a huge construction site between Casa and Marrakech. No problems.
I thought it goes directly to the airport lol
Mark you are great. Like you and the rest of your family. And then ask a stupid question about badget.
Hi first nice
Damn, I always try to be the first comment on things and never get there in time! Haha congrats!
Thanks Sally
And Ed
Did you stop by Rick's Cafe Americaine in Casablaca??
Yes
@@woltersworld Everyone comes to Rick's.
please use a good quality microphone.
it was with my phone.
How's the food in Morroco, my mother and I were planning a trip to there but she was real worried about getting food poisoning.
Dont worry just make sure you re in good places and clean restaurants, not street food sellers but in general it s all save, moroccan food is awsome (am Moroccan)
Generally its safe
Morocco food quality is the same as eastern European country so its not bad but at the same.time its not at that level of western Europe
But dont woory its very safe
Morocco exports food to europe so the quality must be good
Are the trains air con
Not all the ones we were on
@@woltersworld thanks for the reply. Im going today. I really hope that mine is air con as its soooo hot
Please...can someone recommend me a decent site where I can pre-book my ticket??
its on the official site
Www.oncf.ma
and here is a few tips , there is no difference between 1st Class and 2nd Class , its completely the same with the same service . the only difference is that 2nd class can sometimes be a bit crowded during holidays.
the prices of the snack trolly are like x5 , would be better if you bought the stuff you need before you get on the train ...
that's it , enjoy your trip , and welcome to Morocco
@@farnorth260 Thank you very very much my friend...but the site is really weird.I don't know what I'm doing wrong..I' ve booked dozens of train tickets in Europe.I choose from Marrakesh to CasaVoyageurs...I put the time I want and the only result I get is for 20:30 in the evening.Plus there's no alle-retour results.Only one way.If you have any advice,it's welcome..otherwise thank you for your time.
@@1391mad
ahh okay , yeah the site is a bit weird , but if you choose the time it will only give you the trains after the chosen time , try to put 00:00 on time , that way it will show you all the trips of the day , and choose the right one for you
@@farnorth260 I chose 10:00 in the morning and all i get is 20:30 in the evening...After that i chose 00:00 and i get the same result.I don't know...I guess there's a train every hour or so,so I won't face any problems finding a ticket if i book it from MArrakesh station when I'm there,eh?
spot the westerner
your video and old because now everything and change .marrakech casablanca 2h38min and casablanca tangier with a high speed train 320 kmh for 2h10 only
You doing a video about wow airlines and talk about your rights. Just had to call my credit card and do a charge back on my flight but not everyone can get money back. Never use a debt card not the same rights and also about refundable and non refundable rooms and all
Seriously, pay attention to what he said.
".. We recommend getting the 1st class tickets for a bit more space and comfort..."
Thank me later.
First
Please fix the video thumbnail. It grinds my gears how you missed a C in Morocco. Great video as always, though!
Will fix it when I get home. Was running out the door when I made the thumbnail.
This train looks similar to eastern european ones (ofc except the high speed)
@@SimoAtlas ik right
@@Bugaran this is train is the worst train in morocco end this is why he rain only the long line (more.than 8 hours travel ) while the samll travell are being operated by new train more moderne
@@omineol9897 i thought so because Morocco has really world class trains
yes it's french corail car
