ONCF Casablanca (Casa Voyageurs) - Marrakech 10:50am - 2:05pm Grandes Lignes First Class







After a good night's sleep, we headed off to Casablanca's main train station, Casa-Voyageurs. The other station, known as Casa-Port, is undergoing major renovations and expansions and will eventually become the main train station. Now if you're ever in Casablanca, you should only travel in what they call le petit taxi, as these are much cheaper (they also have meters) than the grand taxis, unless you are going to the airport since the petit cannot leave city-limits. The short ride from our hotel to the station was 3$, compared to around 12$ if taking a grand taxi. You can only buy train tickets at the station. Travelling by train is by far the most economical way of transportation in Morocco. For a first class ticket to Marrakech, the cost is only 14$ (second class is 9$). The advantage of a first class ticket is a reserved seat, and the seats are larger and more comfortable. For 5$ more, a no doubter for sure.
