High-speed rail in Morocco

Morocco's high-speed rail network was created when the Al Boraq service commenced in 2018. The Al Boraq and other conventional passenger rail services are operated by Morocco's national railway operator ONCF (from French: Office National des Chemins de Fer). Al Boraq runs on a 323 km (201 mi) line that connects the Moroccan cities of Tangier and Casablanca via Rabat, with a 186 km (116 mi) segment that enables speeds up to 320 km/h (200 mph). As of March 2025 the Kenitra – Tangier high-speed rail line is the only high-speed rail line in the country, with an extension to Marrakesh and high speed track to Rabat and Casablanca expected to be completed by 2030. Under the 2040 Rail Strategy a total of 1,100 km (680 mi) of high-speed rail is planned. These future projects would link the cities of Agadir, Fez, and Oujda to the nationwide network.

The Al Boraq service is the first high-speed rail service on the African continent, and as of March 2025 it is the only high-speed rail service in Africa until the completion of Egypt's high-speed rail project.
