High-speed rail in Morocco

Morocco's high-speed rail network was created when the first service, Al Boraq, commenced in 2018. This service runs on a line that connects the Moroccan cities of Tangier and Casablanca via Rabat with a 323 km (220 mi) line of which 186 km (116 mi) allows speeds up to 320 km/h (200 mph). As of March 2025 the Casablanca – Tangier high-speed rail line is the only high-speed rail line in the country with an extension to Marrakesh expected to be completed by 2030. Al Boraq and other conventional passenger rail services are operated by Morocco's national railway operator ONCF. Under the 2040 Rail Strategy a total of 1100 km (684 mi) of high-speed rail is planned.

The Al Boraq service is the first of its kind 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.
